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]

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1

Breast Care Center, Daerim St. Mary`s Hospital
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2:c.4478A>T p.(Glu1493Val) variant is not found in the gnomAD genomes and has an allele frequency of 0.001098% in the gnomAD exomes database. The results from multiple computational prediction tools are inconsistent regarding the effect on this variant of the gene. This variant is located in exon 11 of BRCA2, the ‘cold spot’ region (PMID: 31911673). However, it was identified in a 35-year-old female with breast cancer and a family history of breast cancer (her mother was diagnosed at age 42). Additionally, three second-degree relatives on the maternal side had salivary gland cancer, liver cancer, and thyroid cancer. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as variant of uncertain significance.
