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 not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8677C>T at the cDNA level and p.Gln2893Ter (Q2893X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Glutamine to a premature stop codon (CAG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also known as BRCA2 8905C>T using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in association with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome (Katagiri 1998, Laitman 2011, Takahashi 2017) and is considered pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q2893* variant (also known as c.8677C>T), located in coding exon 20 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 8677. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 20. This mutation (designated as "Gln 2893 ter") was reported in a family from Japan with hereditary breast cancer (Katagiri T et al. J. Hum. Genet. 1998;43:42-8). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39:593-620). 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. -

The stop gained c.8677C>T (p.Gln2893Ter) variant in BRCA2 gene has been previously reported in multiple individuals affected with Breast Cancer (Katagiri T, et al., 1998; Nomizu T, et al., 2012; Nakamura et al., 2015). The p.Gln2893Ter variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). The nucleotide change c.8677C>T in BRCA2 is predicted as conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2893Ter) in the BRCA2 gene. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants in BRCA2 gene have been previously reported to be pathogenic (Borg et al., 2010). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2893*) 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: 9609997, 26187060). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38177). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8677C>T (p.Gln2893X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251318 control chromosomes. c.8677C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Katagiri_1998, Laitman_2011, Nakamura_2013, Nomizu_2012). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories 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. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
