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 sequence change deletes one nucleotide in exon 11 of BRCA2 mRNA (c.2435delA), causing a frameshift at codon 812 and the creation of a premature translation stop signal 13 amino acid residues later. This is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic. This variant has been reported in the literature in at least one individual with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 15340362) and is also known as 2663delA. The mutation database ClinVar contains entries for this variant where it is listed as pathogenic (Variation ID: 51283). -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA2 is denoted c.2435delA at the cDNA level and p.Asn812IlefsX13 (N812IfsX13) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is CAAAA[A]TATT. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes an Asparagine to an Isoleucine at codon 812, and creates a premature stop codon at position 13 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 c.2435delA, previously reported as 2663delA, has been reported in at least one individual with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome (Marroni 2004). we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in four individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15340362, 25863477, 28392550, 35879854). 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 c.2435delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2435, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This mutation has been identified in multiple individuals with personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Marroni F et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2004 Nov;12:899-906; Kang E et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2015 May;151:157-68; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39(5):593-620). Note that this alteration is also referred to as 2663delA 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. -
