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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

BP1_strong c.1564G>C, located in exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of Glycine by Arginine at codon 522, p.(Gly522Arg). This position is outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain and, moreover, the SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing (BP1_strong). This variant is found in 4/224618 alleles at a frequency of 0.0017% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. Published clinical data for a multifactorial likelihood analysis (PMID: 31131967) showed a combined LR indicative of moderate evidence towards benign (LR 0.88), based on tumor characteristics (LR 0.69), co-occurrence (LR 1.24) and family history (LR 1.04). It has been reported in ClinVar (1x B, 6x LB, 9x VUS). Based on the currently available information, c.1564G>C is classified as a likely benign variant according to ClinGen-BRCA2 Guidelines version 1.0.0. -

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. -

BRCA2-related cancer predisposition

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glycine with arginine at codon 522 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been detected in one individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_002081) and in two suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 22476429, 24916970). This variant has been identified in 4/239116 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. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.1564G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly522Arg. This variant has been reported in an individual from a cohort selected for a range of atherosclerosis phenotypes, but not for a personal or family history of cancer (Table S1, Johnston et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22703879). It was also identified in an individual with breast and/or ovarian cancer and was classified as uncertain (Table 2, Peixoto et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 24916970). This variant is reported in 0.0064% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar including uncertain (3), likely benign (6), and benign (1) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/37746/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Endometrial carcinoma

Uncertain:1

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Gly522Arg variant was not identified in the literature but has been reported in the dbSNP (rs80358442), Exome Server Project, UMD (1x as an unknown variant) and BIC (7x with unknown clinical importance) databases. This residue is not conserved in mammals, increasing the likelihood this variant may not have clinical significance. Computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein and this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1564G>C (p.Gly522Arg) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 1.7e-05 in 239116 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1564G>C has been reported in the literature in a proband from high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer family that did not carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations (Lu_2012), among variants of unknown significance in a Portuguese breast/ovarian cancer family (Peixoto_2014), and among secondary variants identified in a study of Individuals undergoing Exome Sequencing (Johnston_2012). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least two co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported [BRCA1 c.5136G>A, p.Trp1712Ter (BIC database); BRCA1 c.4258C>T, p.Gln1420Ter (UMD database)], providing supporting evidence for a benign role. No conclusive experimental evidence reporting an impact on protein function has been ascertained. Eight clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (likely benign, n=3, VUS, n=5). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
