After induction of downstream targets . the tumor suppressor p53 its activation leads to cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Recently the presence of CHK2 germ line mutations primarily the 1100delC variant has been reported to be involved in carcinogenesis. The CHK2 1100delC variant results in a truncated protein which is instable and inactive. Carriers of this variant have been shown to have an increased risk to develop breast cancer and probably also other tumors. Our purpose was to investigate the role of CHK2 germ line mutations in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck SCCHN . Materials and Methods We investigated 91 patients suffering from SCCHN including all tumor sites oropharynx hypopharynx larynx for the presence of the germ line mutation 1100delC by direct sequence analysis. Patients were characterized by their tumor localization tumor stage age the presence of additional malignant tumors and predisposing carcinogens smoking alcohol abuse . Results None of the patients independently of the tumor site age the abuse of predisposing carcinogens or the presence of other kinds of tumors carried the CHK2 1100delC variant. Conclusions The germ line CHK2 1100delC variant does not seem to have a major impact on the development of SCCHN. Background Head .
