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: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.H1332D variant (also known as c.3994C>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3994. The histidine at codon 1332 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.3994C>G at the cDNA level, p.His1332Asp (H1332D) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Histidine to an Aspartic Acid (CAT>GAT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 4222C>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 His1332Asp was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Histidine and Aspartic Acid differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 His1332Asp occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the RAD51 binding domain (Roy 2012). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 His1332Asp is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.3994C>G (p.His1332Asp) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense substitution that does not lie within a known functional domain (InterPro). 3/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant is absent from the large control database ExAC (0/112012 control chromosomes). One clinical diagnostic laboratory has classified this variant as one of uncertain significance. To our knowledge, the variant of interest has not been reported in affected individuals via publications, nor has it been evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Because of the absence of clinical information and the lack of functional studies, the variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.His1332Asp variant was not identified in the literature, nor was it identified in the dbSNP, the 1000 Genomes Project , NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (March 14, 2016), Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), COSMIC, ClinVar, Clinvitae, ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database, GeneInsight COGR, BIC or UMD. The p.His1332 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five 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, HumanSpliceFinder) 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1332 of the BRCA2 protein (p.His1332Asp). 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: 422736). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
