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 13-32341004-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32341004-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 826530.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-32341004-A-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Oct 27, 2020	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6649A>T (p.Lys2217X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 249442 control chromosomes. c.6649A>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Momozawa_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, citing the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	research	Research Institute, Aichi Cancer Center	Feb 01, 2022	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Sep 18, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 826530). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 30287823). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys2217*) 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). -

The p.K2217* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.6649A>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 6649. This changes the amino acid from a lysine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. 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. -
