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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.8021dup (p.Ile2675Aspfs*6) variant in the BRCA2 gene is located on the exon 18 and is predicted to result in a frameshift that introduces a premature translation termination codon, resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been identified in individuals with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30078507, 29383094). Loss-of-function variants of BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8988179, 11897832, 29446198). The variant is reported in ClinVar as pathogenic (ID: 267050) and reviewed by the expert panel. The variant is absent in the general population database (gnomAD). Therefore, the c.8021dup (p.Ile2675Aspfs*6) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 18 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in at least 3 individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29383094, 30078507, 29752822). 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 c.8021dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 8021, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.I2675Dfs*6). This mutation (designated c.8015_8016insA) was identified in an individual with head and neck cancer and no family history of cancer (Meric-Bernstam F et al. Ann. Oncol. 2016 May;27:795-800). 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile2675Aspfs*6) 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 head and neck cancer and breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26787237, 29383094, 29752822, 30078507). This variant is also known as c.8016dupA or c.8015_8016insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267050). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
