Recent advances in genomic technologies have enhanced the possibility of identifying causative genes in such cases. Two siblings, an elder sister and a younger brother, were found to have multiple primary lung cancers at the age of 60. The former subsequently developed breast cancer and had a history of uterine myoma. The latter had initially developed prostate cancer at the age of 59 and had a history of colon cancer. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping revealed that \u223c10% of the genomes were homozygous in both patients. Exome sequencing revealed nonsynonymous mutations in five genes in the runs of homozygosity: <jats:italic>CHEK2<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>FCGRT<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>INPP5J<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>MYO18B<\/jats:italic>, and <jats:italic>SFI1<\/jats:italic>. Evolutionary conservation of primary protein structures suggested the functional importance of the <jats:italic>CHEK2<\/jats:italic> mutation, p.R474C. This mutation altered the tertiary structure of CHK2 by disrupting the salt bridge between p.R474 and p.E394. No such structural changes were observed with the other mutated genes. Subsequent cell-based transfection analysis revealed that CHK2 p.R474C was unstable and scarcely activated. We concluded that the homozygous <jats:italic>CHEK2<\/jats:italic> variant was contributory in this case of familial cancer. Although homozygous inactivation of <jats:italic>CHEK2<\/jats:italic> in mice led to cancers in multiple organs, accumulation of additional human cases is needed to establish its pathogenic role in humans.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/mcs.a001032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,3]],"date-time":"2016-08-03T19:10:16Z","timestamp":1470251416000},"page":"a001032","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Homozygous
