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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesMay 21, 2019The BRCA2 c.7759C>T; p.Leu2587Phe variant (rs56335340), also known as 7987C>T, is reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Infante 2006, Velasco 2005, Zuntini 2018) and colorectal cancer (Esteban-Jurado 2016, Garre 2015). This variant is reported as uncertain by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 141335), and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0044% (11/251436 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The leucine at codon 2587 is highly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is deleterious. However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Leu2587Phe variant is uncertain at this time. References: Esteban-Jurado C et al.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 18, 2023Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7759C>T (p.Leu2587Phe) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein, helical domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.4e-05 in 251514 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (4.4e-05 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.7759C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals undergoing evaluation for breast/colorectal cancer (example, Velasco_2005, Garre_2014, Tsai_2019). Some of these reports classify the variant as a VUS within settings of multigene panel testing (example, Tsai_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant(s) has been reported in the LOVD database (BRCA1 c.2197_2201delGAGAA, p.Glu733fsX5), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (example, Guidugli_2018, Richardson_2021, Hu_2022). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on homology directed repair (HDR) activity. HDR assays qualify as a recognized gold standard on the basis of updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) working group. This working group has recommended strong functional evidence (ACMG BS3) as sufficient weightage for categorization as likely benign (Tavtigian_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29849630, 27165003, 29881398, 24814045, 29394989, 29884841, 35736817, 16758124, 20167696, 33609447, 30374176, 15937982, 30055349). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments: likely benign (n=3), benign (n=1), VUS, n=8 and likely pathogenic (n=1). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 25, 2020This 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 31, 2018This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.7759C>T at the cDNA level, p.Leu2587Phe (L2587F) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Leucine to a Phenylalanine (CTC>TTC). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 7987C>T. This variant was observed in several individuals with a personal and family history of colorectal cancer as well as two individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Infante 2006, Garre 2015, Esteban-Jurado 2016, Zutini 2018). BRCA2 Leu2587Phe was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the DNA binding domain (Yang 2002). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Leu2587Phe is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 18, 2024This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2587 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Leu2587Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs56335340, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BRCA2-related conditions (PMID: 15937982, 16758124, 24814045, 30254663). This variant is also known as 7987C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141335). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA2 function (PMID: 29394989). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesFeb 08, 2024The BRCA2 c.7759C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Leu2587Phe. This variant has been reported in individuals with colorectal, breast, ovarian, and/or prostate cancer (Infante et al. 2006. PubMed ID: 16758124; Table 1, Garre et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 24814045; Figure S1a, Esteban-Jurado et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27165003; Figure S1, Table S1, Family 1023, Tsai et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30374176; Table S3, referred to as Chr13:32932020C>T, Darst et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 32853339). This variant is reported in 0.0079% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. It has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to likely pathogenic, with the vast majority of clinical laboratory contributors interpreting it as uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141335/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
