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 variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer in the published literature (PMID: 24323938 (2014), 23108138 (2013), 17924331 (2007), 15026808 (2004)). Additionally, functional studies have demonstrated a damaging effect of this variant on BRCA2 protein function (PMID: 25146914 (2014), 23328489 (2013), 18451181 (2007)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Gly2748Asp variant has been reported in the literature in 3/3590 proband chromosomes of individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and ovarian carcinoma, although no control chromosomes were tested to establish the frequency in the general population (Alsop 2012, Balia 2011, Claes 2004, Farrugia 2008, Karchin 2008, Lindor 2012, Easton 2007). The p.Gly2748 residue is conserved across mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) suggest that the p.Gly2748Asp variant may impact the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant is listed in the dbSNP database (ID#:rs80359071) as coming from a "clinical source" but no frequency information was provided, and so the prevalence of this variant in the population is not known. In a study that interrogated the Myriad Genetic Laboratories database to assess the clinical significance of BRCA1/2 sequence variants, segregation studies and statistical analyses suggested the p.G2748D variant was in “favour of causality” (Easton 2007). In addition, functional studies have shown that the homologous recombination repair activity is compromised, as determined by transient overexpression of this variant protein, and that it leads to an increase in the proportion of cells undergoing aberrant centriole amplification (Balia 2011, Farrugia 2008). In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time, although we would lean towards a more pathogenic role for this variant. This variant is classified as Predicted Pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.8243G>A; p.Gly2748Asp variant (rs80359071) is reported in the literature in several individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Bhaskaran 2019, Claes 2004, Easton 2007). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 52535), and classified as pathogenic by the evidence-based network for the interpretation of germline mutant alleles (ENIGMA) expert panel (see link to ENIGMA consortium classification criteria). This variant is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The glycine at codon 2748 is highly conserved, and computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.877). Functional analyses of the variant protein show impaired homology directed repair activity (Balia 2011, Farrugia 2008, Guidugli 2013). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.

This c.8243G>A (p.Gly2748Asp) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been reported in multiple breast cancer and ovarian cancer patients [PMID 15026808, 22711857] while only observed with extremely low allele frequency in general population according to gnomad database. Glycine at amino acid position 2748 is highly conserved during evolution. Functional studies showed that this mutant causes reduced homology-directed recombination repair activity, compared to wild type [PMID:18451181, 23328489, 25146914]. Multiple in silico predictions suggest this glycine to asparatic acid change is deleterious. Based upon above evidences, this c.8243G>A (p.Gly2748Asp) variant in the BRCA2 gene is classified as pathogenic. -

This missense variant replaces glycine with aspartic acid at codon 2748 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 found the variant protein to be defective in homology-directed DNA repair assays in mammalian and yeast cells and in corroborating assays (PMID: 18451181, 23108138, 23328489, 25146914, 29394989, 29988080, 33609447, 33978741, 35736817). This variant has been reported in at least 10 individuals and families with history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15026808, 18451181, 22711857, 26824983, 30078507, 30702160). This variant has been identified in 2/249060 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8243G>A (p.Gly2748Asp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB1 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 7.9e-06 in 252586 control chromosomes. c.8243G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and pancreatic cancer (example, Li_2018, Hu_2018, Lin_2016, Alsop_2012 and Claes_2004, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Multiple independent functional studies demonstrated a deleterious impact by the variant resulting in impaired homologous recombination activity of BRCA2 and inability to complement the loss of cell viability in mouse embryonic stem cell-based functional assays, further supporting a disease-causing impact (Guidugli_2018, Mesman_2018, Hendriks_2014, Guidugli_2012, and Farrugia_2009). Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, a consortium (CIMBA) and an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 2748 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Gly2748Asp). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359071, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15026808, 17924331, 22711857). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52535). 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: 18451181, 21671020, 23108138, 23328489, 25146914). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.G2748D pathogenic variant (also known as c.8243G>A), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8243. The glycine at codon 2748 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with very few similar properties. This alteration, also referred to as 8471G>A in some literature, behaves as non-functional in multiple assays including a homologous repair assay, a Brca2-null mouse embryonic stem cell complementation assay, and a PARP inhibitor assay (Richardson ME et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 03;108:458-468; Guidugli L et al. Cancer Res. 2013 Jan;73:265-75; Guidugli L et al. Hum. Mutat. 2014 Feb;35:151-64; Guidugli L et al. Am J Hum Genet. 2018 Feb 1;102(2):233-248; Mesman RLS et al. Genet Med. 2018 Jul 10; Ikegami M. et al. Nat Commun. 2020 May;11(1):2573). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. The variant has been reported in multiple individuals with HBOC in the literature and is considered pathogenic by a multifactorial analysis model of variant interpretation which demonstrated strong co-segregation and family history scores (Rebbeck TR. Hum Mutat. 2018 May;39(5):593-620; Easton DF et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2007 Nov;81:873-83). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
