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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 2514 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two individuals affected with breast cancer and an individual affected with gastric cancer (PMID: 27273131, 36627197, 37060015), but also in a general population study in the literature (PMID: 33428613). 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7540A>G (p.Lys2514Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein, helical domain of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251316 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.7540A>G has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with Hereditary Breast Cancer (Byers_2006). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 2514 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Lys2514Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 27273131). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220661). 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. -
