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]

Variant summary: c.263T>G affects a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in amino acid change from Leu to Arg. 4/5 in-silico tools predict this variant to be damaging. This variant was not found in 120766 control chromosomes, and it has not been, to our knowledge, reported in affected individuals via publications; 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 was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available.

The BRCA2 c.263T>G (p.Leu88Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals undergoing genetic testing (PMID: 31853058 (2020), 30122538 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000066 (1/152254 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.L88R variant (also known as c.263T>G), located in coding exon 2 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 263. The leucine at codon 88 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 88 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Leu88Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of BRCA2-related conditions (PMID: 10923033). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51320). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
