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]

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 been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 16912212), one unaffected individual (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_004908) and in four families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.6206T>G (p.Leu2069*) variant in the BRCA2 gene is predicted to introduce a premature translation termination codon, which is predicted to result in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant is absent from large databases of genetic variation in the general population. This variant has been reported in one patient with breast cancer (PMID 16912212). Another variant in the BRCA2 gene, c.6206delT, predicting to result in the same p.Leu2069* amino acid change, has been reported in a family affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID 9150172). Therefore, the c.6206T>G (p.Leu2069*) variant in the BRCA2 gene is 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.Leu2069*) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38026). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6206T>G (p.Leu2069*) 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. The variant was absent in 250212 control chromosomes. c.6206T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g., Petridis_2019, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. Additionally, the same p.Leu2069* amino acid change caused by a different variant (c.6206delT) has been reported as pathogenic in ClinVar. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31060593, 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38026). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Leu2069X variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 3 individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database and Sharing Clinical Reports Project). It was also absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 2069, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000300999). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting. -

The BRCA2 p.Leu2069* variant was identified in a multicenter (consortia) study by CIMBA in 2 of 22702 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.00009) from females with BRCA2 pathogenic variants, the affected individuals being Caucasian American (Rebbeck 2018). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358859) as “With Pathogenic allele”, in ClinVar (classified pathogenic, reviewed by an expert panel (2016); submitters: GeneDx, Invitae, Ambry Genetics, ENIGMA, CIMBA, and 3 other laboratories), and LOVD 3.0 (1x as pathogenic). The variant was not identified in the UMD-LSDB database. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.6206T>G variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 2069 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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.6206T>G (p.Leu2069*) variant causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 16912212 (2006)), and observed in a world-wide screening study of families with BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variants (PMID: 29446198 (2018)). The same p.Leu2069* amino acid change caused by a different variant (c.6206del) has also been reported in a family with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9150172 (1997)). The c.6206T>G (p.Leu2069*) variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L2069* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.6206T>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 6206. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. A single nucleotide deletion resulting in a stop codon at the same position (p.L2069*) has been identified in a French family with female breast and ovarian cancer (Serova-Sinilnikova OM et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1997 May; 60(5):1236-9). 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. -
