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]

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 11, 2022Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7543dupA (p.Thr2515AsnfsX24) 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 is also known as c.7771dupA. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251316 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.7543dupA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And/or Ovarian Cancer and prostate cancer (examples: Kim_2012, Castro_2013, Lalloo_2006, and Edwards_2003). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Four submitters including an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 23, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr2515Asnfs*24) 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 premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and prostate cancer (PMID: 12474142, 23569316, 27083775). This variant is also known as 7772insA Stop 2536, c.7538_7539insA, c.7771insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38101). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 30, 2021The c.7543dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 14 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 7543, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T2515Nfs*24). This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Lalloo F et al. Eur. J. Cancer, 2006 May;42:1143-50; Kim H et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2012 Aug;134:1315-26; Seifert BA et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2016 Aug;22:4087-4094; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This mutation has also been detected in multiple prostate cancer patients (Mitra A et al. Br J Cancer, 2008 Jan;98:502-7; Edwards SM et al. Br J Cancer, 2010 Sep;103:918-24; Castro E et al. J Clin Oncol, 2013 May;31:1748-57). 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). Of note, this alteration is also designated c.7538_7539insA, c.7543insA, 7771insA, or 7771dupA 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. -
