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]

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System
Significance:Benign
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it occurs at a poorly conserved residue, does not alter an amino acid residue, is not located near a splice junction, is listed in dbSNP (rs55919657) and the 1000 genome project, and is reported as not clinically important in the BIC database. Based on the above information this variant is classified as benign.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

The synonymous variant NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.1362A>G (p.Lys454=) has been reported to ClinVar as Benign with a status of (3 stars) reviewed by expert panel (Variation ID 51108 as of 2025-10-02). The p.Lys454= variant is not predicted to disrupt an existing splice site. The p.Lys454= variant is predicted to introduce a novel splice site by 1 of 4 splice site algorithms. The p.Lys454= variant results in a substitution of a base that is not predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Benign.
