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]

The BRCA2 p.Tyr803X variant was identified in the literature in an individual with invasive ovarian cancer (Zhang 2011). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358504) “With pathogenic allele”, HGMD, and the BIC database (1X with clinical importance). The p.Tyr803X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 803, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.

The p.Tyr803X variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 2 individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database, Zhang 2011) and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 803, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000300516.2). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner based upon the predicted impact to the protein.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2409T>G (p.Tyr803X) 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 248736 control chromosomes. c.2409T>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Hondow_2011, Zhang_2011, Rebbeck_2018, Hollis_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and 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.Tyr803*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 21324516, 22711857). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37784). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in 3 individuals affected with ovarian cancer, 1 individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21324516, 22711857, 33808557, Color internal data), and has been identified in 4 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). In a large breast cancer case-control study conducted by the BRIDGES consortium, this variant was reported in 1/60466 cases and 1/53461 controls (OR=0.884. 95%CI 0.055 to 14.136; p-value=1) (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_00436). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

The p.Y803* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2409T>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2409. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration was identified in multiple cohorts of individuals diagnosed with ovarian cancer (Zhang S et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2011 May;121(2):353-7; Alsop K et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2012 Jul;30(21):2654-63). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620) and in 1/50726 patients from an unselected population cohort from a single health system who underwent exome sequencing (Manickam K et al. JAMA Netw Open, 2018 09;1:e182140). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 2637T>G in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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.
