Invitae | RCV001089781 | SCV001245275 | pathogenic | Familial cancer of breast | 2019-11-07 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change inserts an SVA retrotransposon in exon 5 of the CHEK2 mRNA (c.606_607insSVA), causing a frameshift at codon 203 (p.Asp203fs). The exact size and sequence of the insertion cannot be determined by the current assay. However, the insertion is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Retrotransposon insertions including LINE1 (L1), Alu, and SVA (SINE-VNTR-Alu) have been reported to be disease-causing through disruption of either a coding region or splice site (PMID: 19763152, 20307669, 22406018). Although this variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in CHEK2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 21876083, 24713400). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. |
