Claspin is a multifunctional protein that participates in physiological processes essential for cell homeostasis that are often defective in cancer, namely due to genetic changes. It is conceivable that Claspin gene (CLSPN) alterations may contribute to cancer development. Therefore, CLSPN germline alterations were characterized in sporadic and familial breast cancer and glioma samples, as well as in six cancer cell lines. Their association to cancer susceptibility and functional impact were investigated. Eight variants were identified (c.-68C>T, c.17G>A, c.1574A>G, c.2230T>C, c.2028+16G>A, c.3595-3597del, and c.3839C>T). CLSPN c.1574A>G (p.Asn525Ser) was significantly associated with breast cancer and was shown to cause partial exon skipping and decreased Claspin expression and Chk1 activation in a minigene splicing assay and in signalling experiments, respectively. CLSPN c.2028+16G>A was significantly associated with familial breast cancer and glioma, whereas c.2230T>C (p.Ser744Pro), was exclusively detected in breast cancer and glioma patients, but not in healthy controls. The remaining variants lacked a significant association with cancer. Nevertheless, the c.-68C>T promoter variant increased transcriptional activity in a luciferase assay. In conclusion, some of the CLSPN variants identified in the present study appear to modulate Claspin’s function by altering CLSPN transcription and RNA processing, as well as Chk1 activation.
