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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 1482 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32316497-G-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32316497-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 51527.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32316497-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr13-32316497-G-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 18, 2023	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.37G>T (p.Glu13X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 251372 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.37G>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Apessos_2018, Olafsdottir_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29310832, 33020491, 32939053). Five ClinVar submitters have assessed the variant since 2014, and all five classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 24, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu13*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 29310832, 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51527). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.E13* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.37G>T), located in coding exon 1 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 37. This changes the amino acid from a glutamic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 1. This alteration has been observed in at least one individual with a personal and/or family history of breast and ovarian cancer (Ambry internal data). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
