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]

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with histidine at codon 2723 in the DNA binding domain 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). Functional studies have shown that this variant causes the mislocalization of BRCA2 to the cytoplasm (PMID: 15695382, 18607349, 24013206) and disrupts BRCA2 function, including homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 15695382, 18607349, 19043619, 23108138, 25146914). This variant has been reported in over a dozen individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: PMID: 11207042, 23961350, 24052750, 24728189, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000290) and with prostate cancer (PMID: 23569316). Multifactorial analyses based on numerous individuals' personal and family history of cancer and tumor pathology have determined this variant to be disease-causing (PMID: 15290653, 16489001, 18451181, 25085752). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant at the same codon, p.Asp2723Gly, is known to be pathogenic (Clinvar variation ID: 38141), indicating that arginine at this position is important for BRCA2 function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.8167G>C; p.Asp2723His variant (rs41293511), is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (Goldgar 2004, Pages 2001, Wu 2005). Functional analyses of BRCA2 protein carrying this variant demonstrate centrosome amplification and aberrant subcellular localization resulting in defective DNA repair on exposure to gamma irradiation and mitomycin-c (Carvalho 2007, Goldgar 2004, Wu 2005). Furthermore, BRCA2 Asp2723His variant has been shown to interfere with the nuclear localization of RAD51, another key DNA repair protein (Jeyasekharan 2013). This variant is reported as pathogenic by several laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 52515). It is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.932). Several alternative changes at this amino acid location (p.Asp2723Gly, p.Asp2723Ala, p.Asp2723Val) that are predicted to be pathogenic have also been reported in patients with breast and ovarian cancer (Guidugli 2018). Based on available information, the p.Asp2723His variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Carvalho MA et al. Functional assays for BRCA1 and BRCA2.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2723 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp2723His). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11207042, 15290653, 16489001, 23961350, 24728189). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52515). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 15695382, 18607349, 23108138, 24013206, 25146914). This variant disrupts the p.Asp2723 amino acid residue in BRCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21990134). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Asp2723His variant in BRCA2 has been identified in >20 individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers and segregated with disease with multiple individuals from many families (Pages 2001 PMID: 11207042, Goldgar 2004 PMID: 15290653, Chenevix-Trench 2006 PMID: 16489001, Solano 2012 PMID: 23961350, Song 2014 PMID: 24728189). This variant was absent from large population studies. In vitro and in vivo functional studies support an impact on protein function (Chenevix-Trench 2006 PMID: 16489001, Wu 2005 PMID: 15695382, Farrugia 2008 PMID: 18451181, Kuznetsov 2008 PMID: 18607349, Jeyasekharan 2013 PMID: 24013206, Guidugli 2018 PMID: 29394989) and computational prediction tools and conservation analysis are consistent with pathogenicity. Moreover, this variant as well as another variant involving this codon (p.Asp2723Gly) have been classified as pathogenic on August 10, 2015 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (SCV000244481.1). Multiple other variants involving this codon have also been identified in individuals with HBOC (ClinVar, HGMD: Stenson 2017). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC).

Functional studies have shown that this variant causes the mislocalization of BRCA2 to the cytoplasm (PMID: 15695382, 18607349, 24013206) and disrupts BRCA2 function, including homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 15695382, 18607349, 19043619, 23108138, 25146914, 35736817). This variant has been reported in over a dozen individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: PMID: 11207042, 23961350, 24052750, 24728189, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000290) and with prostate cancer (PMID: 23569316). Multifactorial analyses based on numerous individuals' personal and family history of cancer and tumor pathology have determined this variant to be disease-causing (PMID: 15290653, 16489001, 18451181, 25085752). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant at the same codon, p.Asp2723Gly, is known to be pathogenic (Clinvar variation ID: 38141), indicating that arginine at this position is important for BRCA2 function. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.D2723H pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8167G>C), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 8167. The aspartic acid at codon 2723 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with some similar properties. This alteration has been classified as pathogenic (p>0.99) by multifactorial analysis, which integrates the following lines of evidence to produce a quantitative likelihood of pathogenicity: in silico prediction models, segregation with disease, tumor characteristics, and mutation co-occurrence (Goldgar DE et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2004 Oct;75:535-44; Easton DF et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2007 Nov;81:873-83; Tavtigian SV et al. Hum. Mutat. 2008 Nov;29:1342-54; Karchin R et al. Cancer Inform. 2008 Apr;6:203-16; Lindor NM et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Jan;33:8-21; Vallee MP et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Jan;33:22-8). Moreover, functional studies have shown that this alteration affects the DNA repair function of BRCA2 (Wu K et al. Cancer Res. 2005 Jan;65:417-26; Farrugia DJ et al. Cancer Res. 2008 May;68:3523-31; Kuznetsov SG et al. Nat. Med. 2008 Aug;14:875&ndash;881; Guidugli L et al. Cancer Res. 2013 Jan;73:265-75; Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2018 Feb;102:233-248). Additionally, this alteration has been detected in multiple hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families, including families with male breast cancer (Pages S et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2001 Feb;84:482-8; Goldgar DE et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2004 Oct;75:535-44; Wu K et al. Cancer Res. 2005 Jan;65:417-26; Solano AR et al. Springerplus. 2012 Sep;1:20; Meisel C et al. Arch. Gynecol. Obstet. 2017 May;295:1227-1238). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 8395G>C in published literature. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as a pathogenic mutation. -

The BRCA2 c.8167G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp2723His. This variant has been documented in multiple individuals with breast and ovarian cancer and has been shown to cause defective DNA repair (Goldgar et al. 2004. PubMed ID: 15290653; Karchin et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 19043619; Guidugli et al. 2013. PubMed ID: 23108138; Guidugli et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29394989). This variant has not been reported in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating it is rare. It is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar, including by the ENIGMA expert panel (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/52515/). This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

The p.Asp2723His variant is identified in the literature in 5 out of 554 proband chromosomes (frequency 0.009) in individuals with breast (male and female), ovarian and prostate cancers, however it is not analyzed in enough control chromosomes to determine the population frequency (0 out of 380, frequency=0) (Chenevix-Trench 2006, Mitra 2008, Pages 2001, Ding 2011). Furthermore, It is listed in dbSNP database as coming from a "clinical source" (ID#: rs41293511) with no frequency information available, and therefore, not informative to assess the frequency of this variant in the general population. The p.Asp2723 residue is conserved in mammals and other species and computational analyses (SIFT, Polyphen2, AlignGVGD) predict deleterious impact on the protein function. In addition, in vitro functional studies shows impaired BRCA2 function (Kuzentsov 2008, Wu 2005, Karchin 2008, Walker 2010, Carvalho_2007) and multifactorial likelihood-ratio models shows higher odds in favor of causality for this variant (Goldgar 2004, Farrugia 2008, Chenevix-Trench 2006). In the UMD database, this variant has been identified as an isolated "pathogenous" variant in 19 individuals with breast or ovarian cancers, increasing the likelihood this variant is clinically important. Other variants at the same location include p.Asp2723Gly (5 times in UMD), p.Asp2723Val (2 times in UMD) and p.Asp2723Glu (1 time). The p.Asp2723Gly has been shown to result in loss of the last 164 nucleotides of exon18, and shown to be deleterious by several studies (Farrugia 2008, Easton 2007, Karchin 2008), increasing the likelihood that an alteration to this residue is pathogenic. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
