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 denoted BRCA2 c.680C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ala227Val (A227V) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Valine (GCT>GTT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 908C>T. BRCA2 Ala227Val occurs at the second to last position with its exon and was selected for splicing analysis by de Garibay et al. (2014), who did not find this variant to impact splicing on both in silico and in vitro analyses. BRCA2 Ala227Val was not observed at a significant allele frequency in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. Since Alanine and Valine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Ala227Val occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Ala227Val is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.680C>T (p.Ala227Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 243714 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.680C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, without strong evidence for causality (example, de Garibay_2014, Rodriguez-Balada_2016). It was also reported in an unaffected individual in a large case-control study of Breast cancer (PMID: 33471991). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on RNA splicing. RT-PCR of patient RNA showed the variant had no effect on splicing (de Garibay_2014). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27886673, 24123850, 33471991). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.A227V variant (also known as c.680C>T), located in coding exon 7 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 680. The alanine at codon 227 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in 1/710 high-risk hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (Rodríguez-Balada M et al. Cancer Genet. 2016 Nov;209:487-492). A study using capillary electrophoresis of semi-quantitative RT-PCR assays of BRCA2 splicing alterations demonstrated similar patterns of splicing in wild-type controls and c.680C>T carriers; subsequent direct sequencing also confirmed bi-allelic expression in c.680C>T carriers (de Garibay GR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2014 Jan;35:53-7). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 227 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ala227Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs149565664, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182179). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The valine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. 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. -
