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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.H1525R variant (also known as c.4574A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4574. The histidine at codon 1525 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was detected in 1 of 2351 Italian individuals with a personal history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4574A>G (p.His1525Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250536 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4574A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with breast or ovarian cancer (Santonocito_2020). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32438681). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37909). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The BRCA2 c.4574A>G (p.His1525Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 32438681 (2020)), an individual with a personal or family history of unspecified cancer (PMID: 31853058 (2020)) and described to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/250536 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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 benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1525 of the BRCA2 protein (p.His1525Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs397507336, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 33067490). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37909). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -
