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 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 individuals affected with breast, ovarian, or endometrial cancer (PMID: 30128899, 31336956, 32596633). One of these individuals carried a second pathogenic variant in the BRCA2 gene that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 31336956). 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.Q969* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2905C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2905. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This pathogenic mutation has been reported in multiple BRCA1/2 mutation positive individuals (Marchetti C et al. Ann Surg Oncol, 2018 Nov;25:3701-3708; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620; Concolino P et al. Int J Mol Sci, 2019 Jul;20; Klek S et al. JNCI Cancer Spectr, 2020 Jun;4:pkaa018; Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln969*) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254509). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The c.2905C>T (p.Gln969*) variant in BRCA2 gene is a nonsense change that results in the loss of the ~2450 amino acids of BRCA2 protein (~72%). This change is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The variant is absent from control dataset of gnomAD (~244112 chrs). The variant is cited as Pathogenic by reputable databases/clinical laboratories. Taking together, the variant was classified as Pathogenic.
