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]

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease.

The BRCA2 p.Leu209Leu variant was identified by Giacomo (Giacomo 2013) in an individual with Breast Cancer. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs28897704) “With benign allele”, but no frequency information was provided, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined; in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (released Oct 20th, 2014) in 2 of 121164 chromosomes (frequency: 0.0000) or 1 European (Non-Finnish) and 1 East Asian individuals, and none from a population of East Asian, Other, African, Latino, South Asian, and European (Finnish) individuals; the ClinVar database (classified as a benign variant by GeneDx and likely benign by Ambry Genetics), and UMD (1X as a 3-UV variant). The p.Leu209Leu variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. In addition, in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. The BRCA2 p.Leu209Leu variant did not show exon skipping in functional assays combining minigene assays and analysis of patient RNA, contradicting the bioinformatics approach of using ESRseq scores to evaluate RNA hexamers as potential exonic splicing elements (Di Giacomo 2013). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign.
