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]

The BRCA2 c.9352_9353delAT; p.Met3118ValfsTer31 variant (rs786203318), also known as 9350_9351del, is reported in the literature in individuals with breast cancer (Jakimovska 2018, Sun 2017), and is classified as pathogenic by an expert review panel in ClinVar (Variation ID: 186912). This variant is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server, Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting two nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Jakimovska M et al. BRCA1 and BRCA2 germline variants in breast cancer patients from the Republic of Macedonia.

The p.Met3118ValfsX31 deletion was not previously identified in the literature. It was identified in the UMD database as “causal”. This deletion is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 3118 and leads to a premature stop codon 31 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.9352_9353delAT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 24 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 9352 to 9353, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.M3118Vfs*31). This alteration has been reported in an individual with invasive breast cancer (Jakimovska M et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2018 Apr;168:745-753). 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. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186912). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Met3118Valfs*31) 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: 29335924). -
