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

The p.T598I variant (also known as c.1793C>T), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1793. The threonine at codon 598 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast cancer (Fackenthal JD et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2012 Sep;131:1114-23; Abdel-Razeq H et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Mar;12:673094). This alteration was also identified in 1/527 index patients with either breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer (Loizidou MA et al. Clin. Genet., 2017 Apr;91:611-615). 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. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 598 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). A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA2 function in Brca2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 33293522). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer and in a suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 22034289, 27882536, 35402282), and in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in one unaffected individual (1/53460) and absent in 60466 cases (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_002676). This variant has been identified in 3/275402 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. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 598 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Thr598Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs80358462, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22034289, 27882536, 35980532). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51195). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -
