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 13-32340916-T-TA is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32340916-T-TA is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 38053.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual affected with ovarian cancer (BRCA Exchange (http://brcaexchange.org/), PMID: 30322717 (2018)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	May 09, 2022	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in at least 1 individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 30322717). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jun 22, 2021	The c.6566dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 6566, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N2189Kfs*8). This mutation was identified in a cohort of 4439 women with ovarian cancer undergoing multigene panel testing at one laboratory (Carter NJ et al. Gynecol Oncol, 2018 12;151:481-488). This mutation was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). 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. -
