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]

This missense variant replaces isoleucine with valine at codon 2330 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer or prostate cancer (PMID: 27741520, 29161300, 29659569, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001102, 35264596, 35980532, 36329109, 36977404). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

BP1_Strong, PM2_Supporting c.6988A>G, located in exon 13 of the BRCA2 gene, is predicted to result in the substitution of isoleucine by valine at codon 2330, p.(Ile2330Val). This position is outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain and, moreover, the SpliceAI algorithm predicts no significant impact on splicing (BP1_strong). It is not present in the population database gnomAD v2.1.1, non cancer dataset (PM2_Supporting). To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-stablished functional studies have been reported for this variant. In addition, it was also identified in the following databases: BRCA Exchange (Not Yet Reviewed), ClinVar (1x likely benign, 9x uncertain significance) and LOVD (1x likely benign, 2x uncertain significance). Based on the currently available information, c.6988A>G is classified as a likely benign variant according to ClinGen-BRCA2 Guidelines version v1.0.0.

The BRCA2 c.6988A>G (p.Ile2330Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 35264596 (2022), 36329109 (2022), 34196900 (2021), 33471991 (2021), 28651617 (2017), 27741520 (2016), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)) and prostate cancer (PMID: 29659569 (2018)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 34196900 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). 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 isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2330 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ile2330Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 27741520, 28651617, 29161300, 36329109). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234463). 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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6988A>G (p.Ile2330Val) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249986 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.6988A>G has been reported in the literature in an HBOC proband with a personal history of breast cancer at age 24 and a family history of breast cancer with no reported co-segregation (Fernandes_2016), as a VUS in another study reporting HBOC probands from Southern Brazil (Alemar_2017), as a VUS specimen previously analyzed at another clinical laboratory (Buzolin_2017), in a study of cancer predisposition panel sequencing in patients with prostate cancer (Paulo_2018). None of these report(s) 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. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Ile2330Val variant was identified in 2 of 1534 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (Alemar 2017, Fernandes 2016). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs876661032) as "With Uncertain significance allele", ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Invitae, and Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America), and LOVD 3.0 (2x). The variant was not identified in the COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, UMD-LSDB, BIC Database, ARUP Laboratories, or Zhejiang University databases. It was not identified in the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Ile2330 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.
