Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Feb 24, 2023 | Published functional studies are inconclusive: spontaneous homologous recombination in human cell line comparable to wildtype, no induction of recombination events in yeast comparable to pathogenic control, impaired binding to APRIN and RAD51 (Balia et al., 2011; Brough et al., 2012; Spugnesi et al., 2013); Observed in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer, but also in cancer-free controls (De Sanjose et al., 2003; Balia et al., 2011; Alsop et al., 2012; Gabald Barrios et al., 2017; Terzic et al., 2020; Dorling et al., 2021; Vidra et al., 2022); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Also known as 3260C>G; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23328489, 21671020, 25637381, 12845657, 25948282, 26992456, 24323938, 22293751, 22711857, 28477318, 12442171, 17515904, 12967658, 19747923, 10923033, 29021639, 31422574, 31159747, 32613071, 31131967, 32123317, 33471991, 32377563, 9002670, 22193408, 30630528, 29884841, 35409996) - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano | Jan 24, 2023 | The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00014 (5/34502 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with breast/ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMID: 12845657 (2003), 22711857 (2012), 25948282 (2015), 28477318 (2017), and 29021639 (2017), 32613071 (2020)). In a large breast cancer association study, the variant was found in individuals affected with breast cancer as well as unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA2). Experimental evidence regarding the effect of this variant on homologous recombination and DNA repair is conflicting (PMID: 21671020 (2011) and 23328489 (2013)). In addition, this variant was observed to impair binding to APRIN and RAD51 proteins, which requires further study (PMID: 22293751 (2012)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. - |
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Nov 11, 2016 | Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.3032C>G (p.Thr1011Arg) variant located in a BRCA2 repeat domain causes a missense change involving a conserved nucleotide with 4/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured here due to low reliability) predict a damaging outcome. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 3/120282 (1/40160), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic BRCA2 variant of 1/1333. This variant has been reported in multiple affected individuals without strong evidence of causality. Three individuals (two cited by UMD and one cited by BIC) carrying this variant with co-occurrence of another BRCA1 pathogenic variant, suggesting against pathogenicity of our variant of interest. Functional studies showed inconsistent results, Balia_2011 showed that variant did not increase the spontaneous HR in the tested HelaG1 cell line (as WT) and concluded variant of interest as a likely benign variant. However, Spugnesi_2013 used yeast recombination assay to show that variant of interest did not induce HR (as pathogenic variant controls) and Brough_2012 showed variant fragment of BRCA2 protein with decreased interaction with both APRIN and RAD51 proteins detected via co-IP assay. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases cite the variant with conflicting classifications "uncertain significance" or "likely benign." Therefore, until additional information becomes available (ie, clinical and functional studies), the variant of interest has been classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance - Possibly Benign." - |
