This program provides a summary of recent literature related to CHEK2-associated cancer risks and management implications. Our speakers will evaluate current evidence that compares the cancer risks associated with different types of germline CHEK2 variants.

  • Identify challenges of CHEK2 variant classification as reviewed in recent clinical practice guidelines.
  • Define evidence for cancer risk associated with germline pathogenic variants (PV) in CHEK2.
  • Examine management implications for CHEK2-associated cancer risks.
  • Summarize recent evidence comparing cancer risks between individuals with different types of germline CHEK2 variants.
