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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 31, 2022Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9104A>C (p.Tyr3035Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA-binding domain (Shimelis 2017, Guidugli 2018) 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 5.8e-05 in 345886 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data), predominantly found within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation at a frequency of 9.8e-05. This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Syndrome (0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.9104A>C, has been reported in the literature in several individuals affected with prostate cancer, breast cancer and ovarian cancer (e.g. Kote-Jarai 2011, Moghadasi 2013, Alsop 2012, Muendlein 2015, Dodova 2015, Shimelis 2017, Sadowski 2017, Alvarez 2017, Jakimovska 2018, Zuntini 2018, Fostira_2020), however it also was found in several healthy controls (e.g. Dodova 2015, Shimelis 2017). In addition, multiple co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA1 c.2603C>G (p.Ser868X), BRCA2 c.1540_1549del (p.Glu514MetfsX8) and BRCA2 c.7913_7917delTTCCT (p.Phe2638X) in the UMD database; and BRCA2 c.5645C>A (p.Ser1882X) in Shimelis 2017), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Several publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated no effect on splicing (Thery_2011, Wai_2020), and a mild impact on BRCA2 protein function, representing an activity comparable to wild-type, or a somewhat hypomorphic allele (e.g. Shimelis 2017, Guidugli 2018, Mesman 2018, Ikegami_2020). One case-control study found that this variant was associated with moderately increased risks of breast cancer for Caucasian women (odds ratio (OR) = 2.52; P = 0.04), and while the number of cases and controls with the Y3035S variant were relatively small, this moderate risk estimate was supported by family pedigree analysis, showing partial co-segregation with breast cancer (Shimelis 2017). On the other hand, in a recent large study evaluating breast cancer cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the variant was reported in 12/60466 cases, and in 7/53461 controls (Dorling 2021 through LOVD), indicating a much lower odds ratio that is well below the OR of BRCA2 truncations (5.85 [95% CI: 4.85-7.06]) or pathogenic BRCA2 missense variants (5.68 [95% CI: 2.62 to 12.29]) reported in this study (Dorling 2021). In addition, multifactorial probability models, performing systematic assessments of variants of unknown significance in the BRCA genes, which included analysis of co-occurrence in trans with known deleterious mutations, personal and family history of cancer, tumor pathology and co-segregation with disease in pedigrees, predicted this variant to be (likely) neutral (Parsons 2019, Caputo 2021). Nine other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, and reported the variant with conflicting assessments (benign, n=1; likely benign, n=4; VUS, n=4). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant of interest represents a neutral- or mildly hypomorphic variant, however, it is not a high penetrance causative variant within the settings of inherited Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Therefore, the variant was classified as benign. -

BRCA2-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJul 16, 2024The BRCA2 c.9104A>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Tyr3035Ser. This variant has been reported in a prostate cancer cohort (Kote-Jarai et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21952622, Table S1) and in several hereditary breast cancer studies (Muendlein et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25971625, Tables 1 and 3; Meisel et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28324225, Table 4; Shimelis et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28283652), all of which interpreted this variant as uncertain significance. This variant was also reported in the heterozygous state as probably damaging in one individual with lipid metabolism deficiency (Supplementary Table S3. Dong et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35460704). However, this variant has been reported in a healthy, ancestrally diverse cohort (Bodian et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24728327, Table S1). The results of in silico models and in vitro functional assays from several studies are conflicting, citing the pathogenicity of this variant as likely benign, uncertain, and likely pathogenic (Karchin et al. 2008. PubMed ID: 19043619, Table S1; Mesman et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29988080, Table 2; Cline et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31294896; Ikegami et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32444794; Wai et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32123317; Hu et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35736817). This variant has been reported at a frequency of ~0.01% in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) origin in a large population database and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar ranging from benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/38211/). An internal summary of amino acid substitution prediction programs predicts the p.Tyr3035Ser change to be “conflicting” (Liu et al. 2016. PMID: 26555599). Based on these observations, the c.9104A>C variant is classified as uncertain. -
Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA2 p.Tyr3035Ser variant was identified in 28 of 105,838 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003) from individuals or families with prostate and hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and was present in 8 of 98,938 control chromosomes (frequency: 0.00008) from healthy individuals (Moghadasi 2013, Kote-Jarai 2011, Alsop 2012, Dodova 2015, Muendlein 2015, Kraus 2017, Meisel 2017, Shimelis 2017). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs80359165) as “with uncertain significance, other allele”, ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx, Integrated Genetics BIC, Sinai Health System and 4 other submitters, likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Color and Invitae and benign by SCRP), LOVD 3.0 (observed 27x) and UMD-LSDB (observed 19x). The variant was identified in control databases in 14 of 280,642 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00005 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 13 of 127,670 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), Latino in 1 of 35,294 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while the variant was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, Other and South Asian populations. The variant co-segregated with disease in multiple high-risk breast cancer families (Shimelis 2017). In UMD-LSDB, the variant was observed in samples with co-occurring pathogenic BRCA2 (c.1540_1549del p.Glu514Metfs*8, c.7913_7917delTTCCT p.Phe2638*) and BRCA1 (c.2603C>G p.Ser868*) variants. In one study, in vitro expression of the variant altered homology directed repair activity and decreased BRCA2 DNA binding (Shimelis 2017). The p.Tyr3035 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the variant may impact the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
