Human Genome Sequencing Center Clinical Lab, Baylor College of Medicine RCV000709716 SCV000839940 pathogenic Familial cancer of breast 2017-05-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This c.1100delC (p.Thr367Metfs*15) variant in the CHEK2 gene has previously been reported in multiple publications [PMID 10617473, 23415889, 21876083, 22520019, 20722467, 21244692, 11719428, 19030985, 23329222, 11967536, 22994785, 22058428, 18759107, 23409019, 22691310, 25980754, 23109706, 24723567, 21956126, 15492928, 22006311, 22058216, 25583358, 22811390]. This variant leads to a frameshift that has been reported to produce a truncated CHEK2 protein and abrogate the kinase activity [PMID 11719428]. A 5 fold higher frequency of the c.1100delC (p.Thr367Metfs*15) has been observed in patients with breast cancer; a 13 fold higher frequency of this variant has been observed in the males with breast cancer who do not carry pathogenic variants in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes [PMID 11967536]. This investigation indicates that in the noncarriers of BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic variants, the c.1100delC (p.Thr367Metfs*15) results in an approximately two fold increase of breast cancer risk in women and a ten fold increase of risk in men, but confers no increase of risk of breast cancer in the carriers of BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic variants [PMID: 11967536]. The c.1100delC (p.Thr367Metfs*15) pathogenic variant has also been reported in patients with multiple cancers, including colon cancer [PMID: 15492928]. This variant was reported in 215 heterozygous individuals in ExAC (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/22-29091856-AG-A). It is thus classified as a pathogenic variant.
