==Li-Fraumeni variant== | |||
A germline mutation in CHEK2<ref name=omim604373>{{OMIM|604373}}</ref> is considered to be a '''Li-Fraumeni variant''', as it interacts with TP53 and BRCA1. | |||
CHEK2 mutations are most strongly associated with [[breast cancer]] and [[colon cancer]]; thus, it is also known as ''hereditary breast & colorectal cancer'' (HBCC).<ref name=omim604373/> In addition to breast and colon cancers, it has also been associated with prostate, kidney and thyroid cancer.<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_545>{{Ref PCPBoD8|545}}</ref> | |||
''CHEK2'' associated cancers in a list: | |||
*Breast. | |||
*Colon. | |||
*Thyroid. | |||
*Kidney. | |||
*Prostate. | |||
