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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32340284-A-AT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32340284-A-AT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 184841.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Dec 05, 2023	The c.5934dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 5934, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S1979*). This has been reported as a germline mutation in one individual diagnosed with sporadic pancreatic carcinoma. Tumor analysis showed this alteration in normal tissue but there was no loss of heterozygosity in the tumor (Goggins M et al. Cancer Res. 1996 Dec 1;56(23):5360-4). Additionally, this alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620) and in a family referred for multi-gene panel testing in Portugal (Pinto P et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2016 Sep;159:245-56). This alteration is also designated as 6158insT in published literature. 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jul 16, 2021	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is also known as 6158insT according to the BIC nomenclature. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 8968085) and breast cancer (PMID: 27553368). 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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jun 13, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184841). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 8968085). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1979*) 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). -
