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.9649-6dup variant was identified in 1 of 1652 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0006) from individuals or families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and was not identified in 2068 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Bhaskaran 2019). The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs276174929) as “with uncertain significance allele”, ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae, Color and GeneDx; and as uncertain significance by BIC), LOVD 3.0 (observed 2x) and UMD-LSDB (observed 2x). The variant was identified in control databases in 8 of 242,742 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: East Asian in 1 of 18,066 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), Finnish in 1 of 19,514 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), European in 4 of 111,372 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), South Asian in 1 of 29,068 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), and Latino in 1 of 33,502 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish or Other populations. The c.9649-6dup variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. This variant results in the addition of one thymine base into a polyT tract, decreasing the likelihood that this variant has clinical significance. In addition, 4 out of 4 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9649-6dupT alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.3e-05 in 242742 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.9649-6dupT has been reported in the literature as a VUS in at-least one individual affected with breast cancer (example, Bhaskaran_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30702160). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126216). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
