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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.28361475).

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.N404I variant (also known as c.1211A>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1211. The asparagine at codon 404 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in an individual diagnosed with breast cancer (Li G et al. J. Cancer Res. Clin. Oncol. 2017 Oct;143:2011-2024). 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. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces asparagine with isoleucine at codon 404 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer, and detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 1/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 28664449, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_007124). This variant has been identified in 1/249988 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Asn404Ile variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the GeneInsight-COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, UMD-LSDB, ARUP Laboratories, or Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358414) “With Uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (classified uncertain significance by BIC, and classification not provided by Invitae), Clinvitae (1x), BIC Database (1x, clinical importance unknown, classification pending), and in control databases in 1 of 245688 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include Latino in 1 of 33524 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while not observed in the African, Other, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.Asn404 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the variant Ile impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.1211A>T (p.Asn404Ile) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide and 3/5 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant. However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. This variant was found in 1/120776 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000083, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA2 variant (0.0007503). In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory and a reputable database classified this variant as uncertain significance. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been 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 is classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)," until additional information becomes available. -

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 404 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asn404Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs80358414, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 28664449). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51082). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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. -
