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 sequence change replaces Asparagine with Isoleucine at codon 3124 of the BRCA2 protein. The asparagine residue is highly conserved and is located in the oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding, domain of the protein. There is a large physiochemical difference between asparagine and isoleucine (Grantham Score 149). This variant, also known as 9599A>T using an alternate transcript, has been reported in multiple individuals and families affected by breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11102977, 16284991, 18703817, 21120943, 21232165, 21965345, 22366370, 22729890, 25948282) and has been shown in epidemiological studies to be a common cause of breast and ovarian cancer in Poland and Germany (PMID: 11802209, 20383589, 24728577, 25948282). This variant is present in population databases at a low frequency (rs28897759, ExAC 0.003%). The mutation database ClinVar contains multiple entries for this variant (Variation ID: 38233). -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9371A>T (p.Asn3124Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB3 domain (IPR015188) 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 3.9e-06 in 257878 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication data). c.9371A>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Biswas_2012, Surowy_2014, Rebbeck_2018). Additionally, the single largest study of families presenting with this variant reports the suggestive co-segregation (20 families tested; variant present in 7 unaffected family members and variant absent in 3 affected family members) and provides likelyhood ratio data that is suggestive, but not entirely conclusive, of pathogenicity (Biswas_2012). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. One co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA1 c.5209A>T, p.Arg1737Ter, BIC database). Functional studies show the variant to disrupts BRCA2 homology-directed DNA break repair activity, and that it is unable to rescue the phenotype in BRCA2 null (Guidugli_2012, Biswas_2012, Ikegami_2020). Another study showed no accumulation of increased chromosomal damage in lymphocytes from a carrier after irradiation (Becker_2012). 20 ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant pathogenic (n=12) and likely pathogenic (n=8) , including one expert panel (ENIGMA) classified this variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.N3124I pathogenic mutation (also known as c.9371A>T), located in coding exon 24 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 9371. The asparagine at codon 3124 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been predicted to be pathogenic based on cell-based functional assays (Biswas K et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2012 Sep;21:3993-4006; Guidugli L et al. Cancer Res. 2013 Jan;73:265-75). This alteration has been described in several high risk breast and ovarian cancer families and in cohorts of individuals with ovarian cancer (Grzybowska E et al. Hum. Mutat. 2000 Dec;16:482-90; Kwiatkowska E et al. Hum. Mutat. 2001;17:73; Pal T et al. Cancer. 2005 Dec;104:2807-16; Balabas A et al. Fam. Cancer. 2010 Sep;9:267-74; Stegel V et al. BMC Med.

This missense variant replaces asparagine with isoleucine at codon 3124 in the DNA binding domain of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Functional studies have shown that the variant impacts BRCA2 activities in homology-directed DNA repair assays (PMID: 22678057, 23108138, 29394989, 29988080, 33609447, 35736817), in sensitivity assays to PARP inhibitors, cisplatin and carboplatin (PMID: 32444794, 37922907) and in a haploid cell proliferation assay (PMID: 39779857). This variant has been reported in more than 20 individuals affected with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11102977, 11139248, 11802209, 20383589, 21232165, 21965345, 22366370, 24728577, 26786923, 26843898, 27616075, 30040829, 34399810). This variant has shown a significant association with breast cancer in a large case-control study conducted by the BRIDGES consortium (14/60466 cases, 1/53461 controls; OR=12.381 (95%CI 1.628 to 94.157); p-value=0.001; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000450). Multifactorial analyses have reported likelihood ratios for pathogenicity based on segregation, tumor pathology, co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant and personal and family history for 8 carriers that resulted in a combined LR well in excess of 1,000 (PMID: 31131967, 31853058). This variant has been identified in 1/251346 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This missense variant replaces asparagine with isoleucine at codon 3124 in the DNA binding domain of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant results in the loss of homology-directed repair activity of the BRCA2 protein (PMID: 22678057, 23108138, 29394989, 29988080, 33609447, 33964450). This variant has been reported in more than 20 individuals affected with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 11102977, 11139248, 11802209, 20383589, 21232165, 21965345, 22366370, 24728577, 26786923, 26843898, 27616075, 30040829, 34399810). This variant has shown a significant association with breast cancer in a large case-control study conducted by the BRIDGES consortium (14/60466 cases, 1/53461 controls; OR=12.381 (95%CI 1.628 to 94.157); p-value=0.001; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000450). This variant has been identified in 1/251346 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Asn3124Ile variant was identified in 10 of 5262 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC), and was not identified in 1500 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Akbari 2011, Balabas 2010, Biswas 2012, Grzybowska 2000, Guidugli 2013, Karchin 2008, Levanat 2012, Meindl 2002, Rajasekaran 2008, Stegel 2011). The variant was identified in dbSNP as “with pathogenic allele” (ID: rs28897759), in Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database in 2 of 66670 alleles in the European (non-Finnish) population. It was also found in HGMD, LOVD, the ClinVar database (classified as Pathogenic variant by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project; classified as pathogenic by ambry Genetics; classified as Uncertain significance by BIC and classification not provided by Invitae). In GeneInsight through the COGR (http://opengenetics.ca/) the variant was identified 1x classified as “unknown” by a clinical laboratory, in the BIC database classified as 17x with unknown clinical importance, and in UMD 6x as an unknown variant. The p.Asn3124 residue is conserved across mammals and lower organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the p.Asn3124Ile may impact the protein. In one study (Biswas 2012), which examined co-segregation likelihood ratios, the data was suggestive, but not conclusive, of causality or pathogenicity (LR variant = 36.95) for the p.Asn3124Ile. In addition, in vitro functional studies showed the p.Asn3124Ile variant compromised BRCA2 function (Biswas 2012, Guidugli 2013). In silico structural studies predict the missense change to disrupt the structural integrity of the protein (Biswas 2012, Levanat 2012), and multifactorial likelihood-ratio models showed higher odds in favor of causality for this variant (Karchin 2008), increasing the likelihood this variant may have clinical significance. In one study (Surowy 2014), reviewing all evidence on p.Asn3124Ile variant, the authors investigated the potential pathogenic nature of the p.Asn3124Ile variant. The authors detected the variant in seven families with high-risk familial breast and other related cancers. The absence of this variant in more than 3,000 control individuals of the same geographical region, its absence in individuals with breast cancer with pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutations, its co-segregation with breast and ovarian cancer in one first degree relative in one family, and consistent results of in silico prediction analyses confirm the strong association with high breast cancer risk and underline that the BRCA2 p.Asn3124Ile variant is most likely a pathogenic mutation. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
