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]

This variant inserts 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 individuals with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15131399, 24549055, 29446198). 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.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu929Phefs*7) 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 hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 15131399, 24549055). This variant is also known as c.3014insT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51345). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2786dupT (p.Leu929PhefsX7) results in a premature termination codon and is expected to cause absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, a commonly known mechanism for disease. The variant was absent in 250880 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2786dupT has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Castera_2014). These data suggest that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24549055). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

The c.2786dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 2786, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L929Ffs*7). This alteration has been identified in a cohort of high-risk breast/ovarian cancer patients (Castéra L et al. Eur J Hum Genet, 2014 Nov;22:1305-13). 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). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.
