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 c.2488A>G variant is classified as Likely Benign (BS1, BS3_Supporting, BP4) Exon 11 in BRCA1 is regarded as a “cold spot” and therefore does not support a pathogenic role for missense variants in this region of the gene (Dines et al., 2020 PMID: 31911673) (BP4).

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.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2488A>G (p.Asn830Asp) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 240576 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00087 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1.2 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (0.00075), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. c.2488A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Rajkumar_2015, Tung_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (BRCA2 c.7007G>A, p.Arg2336His) at our laboratory, providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (likely benign, n=1, and VUS, n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.

The BRCA2 p.Asn830Asp variant was identified in 2 of 3744 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0005) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (Tung 2015, Rajkumar 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs574039421) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as likely benign by GeneDx; as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, Color and Counsyl), and in UMD-LSDB (1x as unclassified variant). The variant was not identified in COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, BIC Database, ARUP Laboratories, or Zhejiang University, databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 25 of 235966 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the South Asian population in 25 of 27740 chromosomes (freq: 0.0009), but not in the African, Other, Latino, European, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Asn830 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
