GeneDx RCV000485985 SCV000572379 likely pathogenic not provided 2016-11-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted CHEK2 c.908+5G>C or IVS8+5G>C and consists of a G>C nucleotide substitution at the +5 position of intron 8 of the CHEK2 gene. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to destroy the nearby natural splice donor site and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. CHEK2 c.908+5G>C was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The guanine (G) nucleotide that is altered is conserved across species. Based on the currently available information, we consider CHEK2 c.908+5G>C to be a likely pathogenic variant.
Invitae RCV001343088 SCV001537047 uncertain significance Familial cancer of breast 2020-08-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change falls in intron 8 of the CHEK2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the CHEK2 protein, but it affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site of the intron. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with CHEK2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422814). Nucleotide substitutions within the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
