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]

The BRCA2, EXON10, c.794-11T>C, variant was identified in at least one breast and/or ovarian cancer family from a cohort of 1800 unrelated probands (Brandao 2011). The variant was also identified in the UMD (1X as an unclassified variant) and in the BIC database (3X with unknown clinical importance). The c.794-11T>C variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. One functional study using RT-PCR analysis demonstrated no effect of the variant on splicing (Brandao 2011). In addition, in silico or computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, HumanSpliceFinder) does not predict a difference in splicing all four programs. Furthermore, this variant was identified by our laboratory in an individual with a co-occurring pathogenic mutation in BRCA1, increasing the likelihood that the c.794-11T>C variant does not have clinical importance. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted benign. -

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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.794-11T>C alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. This is supported by functional studies that have reported no impact on splicing (example, Houdayer_2012). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.9e-05 in 242116 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.794-11T>C has been reported in the literature as a VUS in settings of multigene panel testing of individuals affected with breast and/or colorectal cancer (example, Brandao_2011, Djursby_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Multiple co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in the UMD database and observed at our laboratory (UMD - BRCA1 c.2649insGGCA, p.Thr884AlafsX20; BRCA1 c.5106delA, p.Lys1702AsnfsX4; Our laboratory - BRCA1 c.5266dupC, p.Gln1756fsX74), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign (n=2)/likely benign (n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
