Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 Pathogenic:4
Variant allele predicted to encode a truncated non-functional protein.
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 18/27 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with female breast cancer who has a family history of bilateral breast cancer in a first-degree relative (PMID: 16875939) and in two suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 24156927). This variant also has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 1/60466 cases and 0/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_002370). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
The p.R2668* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8002A>T), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 8002. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 17. This pathogenic mutation, referred to as 8230A>T, has been reported in a Swiss individual diagnosed with breast cancer at age 49 and whose mother had bilateral breast cancer at ages 36 and 38 (Maillet P et al. Cancer Genet. Cytogenet., 2006 Aug;169:62-8). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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.
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2668*) 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 and/or ovarian cancers (PMID: 16875939, 24156927, 29446198). This variant is also known as 8230A>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52468). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 1 Pathogenic:1
not provided Pathogenic:1
This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8002A>T at the cDNA level and p.Arg2668Ter (R2668X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes an Arginine to a premature stop codon (AGA>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, previously reported as BRCA2 8230A>T using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in association with familial breast and/or ovarian cancer (Maillet 2006, Tea 2014), and is considered pathogenic.
Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal at codon 2668 of the BRCA2 protein. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating variants in BRCA2 gene are known to be pathogenic. The mutation database Clinvar contains entries for this variant (Variation ID: 52468).
