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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA2)). Experimental studies report the variant does not affect BRCA2 homology-directed repair activity (PMIDs: 29394989 (2018), 29884841 (2019), 31131967 (2019)), however further studies are needed to understand the overall impact this variant has on BRCA2 function. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251422 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8359C>T (p.Arg2787Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the OB1 fold (IPR015187) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251422 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8359C>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with breast cancer, suspected of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Moradian_2021, Bisgin_2022). However, in this individual and at least one other, co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA2 c.1414C>T, p.Gln472X reported in Moradian_2021, Bisgin_2022 and BIC database; BRCA1 c.4612C>T, p.Gln1538X in BIC database; BRCA1 c.1407_1408delAA, p.Ser470ProfsX9 via internal testing), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g. Guidugli_2018). The results of this HDR assay showed no damaging effect for this variant. 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). Seven submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments. The majority classified the variant as either benign (n=2) or likely benign (n=3), and the remaining classified it as VUS (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -
