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: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes an A to G nucleotide substitution at the -2 position of intron 8 of the BRCA2 gene. RT-PCR analysis from carrier blood RNA showed that the variant allele produced only predicted non-functional transcripts (PMID: 24123850). This variant has been reported in a hereditary breast cancer (PMID: 26026974) and a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 24123850). In the latter family, this variant segregated in two out of three breast cancer affected members who were tested (PMID: 24123850). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.682-2A>G pathogenic mutation results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 8 in the BRCA2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration segregated with disease in one family and was observed via RT-PCR to cause aberrant splicing resulting in coding exon 8 skipping (de Garibay GR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2014 Jan;35:53-7). This alteration was also detected in 1/312 males with breast cancer who also had a positive family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer. (de Juan I et al. Fam Cancer, 2015 Dec;14:505-13). This variant was not reported in population-based cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 8 of the BRCA2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with female breast cancer, lymphoma, and/or male breast cancer (PMID: 24123850, 26026974, 29446198). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 236264). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 9 and/or activation of cryptic splice sites and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 24123850). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
