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

The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and not found in general population data. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.8532_8533delAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 19 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 8532 to 8533, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2846Gfs*22). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2846Glyfs*22) 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 cancer (PMID: 26183948, 26824983). This variant is also known as c.8531_8532del, 8760delAA, and p.Glu2844fs. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52614). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
