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]

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.1756A>T at the cDNA level and p.Lys586Ter (K586X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Lysine to a premature stop codon (AAA>TAA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is considered pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This nonsense variant causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. The variant has not been reported in the published literature. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1756A>T (p.Lys586X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 249898 control chromosomes. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1756A>T in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys586*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA2-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231643). Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.K586* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1756A>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1756. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.
