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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jun 22, 2020	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 22 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26287763). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 14, 2024	The p.L2926* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8777T>A), located in coding exon 21 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 8777. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 21. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This mutation has been identified in female breast cancer patients (Pal T et al. Cancer. 2015 Dec 1;121(23):4173-80). 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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Dec 15, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267106). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26287763, 28538113, 29446198). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu2926*) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	May 18, 2018	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8777T>A (p.Leu2926X) 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 (eg. c.9253dupA/p.Thr3085fsX26, c.9294C>G/p.Tyr3098X). The variant was absent in 120162 control chromosomes. c.8777T>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Pal_2015, Movassagh_2017). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Sep 30, 2016

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8777T>A at the cDNA level and p.Leu2926Ter (L2926X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Leucine to a premature stop codon (TTA>TAA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in at least one case of early-onset breast cancer (Pal 2015) and is considered pathogenic. -
