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]

GeneDx

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This pathogenic variant is denoted BRCA2 c.3362C>G at the cDNA level and p.Ser1121Ter (S1121X) at the protein level. This variant is also known as BRCA2 3590C>G using alternate nomenclature. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Serine to a premature stop codon (TCA>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in a large cohort of self-identified Ashkenazi Jewish women with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer as well as in two affected members of a Filipino family with early-onset breast cancer (De Leon 2002, Finkelman 2012). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

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 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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S1121* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.3362C>G or 3590C>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3362. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This mutation has been reported in two sisters from the Philippines who were diagnosed with breast cancer at ages 43 and 45, and whose family history included early onset breast cancer and brain tumors (De Leon M et al. Int J Cancer. 2002 Apr 1;98(4):596-603). In addition, this alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat. 2018 May;39(5):593-620). 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. -

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3362C>G (p.Ser1121X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250192 control chromosomes. c.3362C>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, including two affected family members (De Leon Matsuda_2002, Finkelman_2012, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1121*) 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 breast cancer (PMID: 11920621, 28288110). This variant is also known as 3590C>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51453). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Ser1121X variant was identified by De Leon Matsuda (2002) in two Filipino sisters with breast cancer, and was not detected in control subjects. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358579) “With pathogenic allele”, HGMD, and the BIC database (4X with clinical importance). In addition, a different variant with the same change at the protein level (c.3362C>A, p.Ser1121X) was listed twice in UMD as a causal variant and once in the BIC database as a variant with clinical importance. The p.Ser1121X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 1121, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
