Genes affected

BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and this gene, BRCA2, confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair. The largest exon in both genes is exon 11, which harbors the most important and frequent mutations in breast cancer patients. The BRCA2 gene was found on chromosome 13q12.3 in human. The BRCA2 protein contains several copies of a 70 aa motif called the BRC motif, and these motifs mediate binding to the RAD51 recombinase which functions in DNA repair. BRCA2 is considered a tumor suppressor gene, as tumors with BRCA2 mutations generally exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the wild-type allele. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.79).
• BP6: Variant 13-32316446-A-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-32316446-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 495432.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=1, Uncertain_significance=2}.

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.-15A>T variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide located in the 5'-UTR. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant is absent in 119278 control chromosomes. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes an A>T nucleotide substitution at the -15 position in the 5' untranslated region in the BRCA2 gene. This variant is located distal to the Kozak consensus sequence (PMID: 3313277). The reference nucleotide is conserved among other reference species at this position (PMID: 12519945). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
