Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points: 14P and 0B. PVS1_Strong PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.9895C>T(p.Gln3299Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q3299Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 15 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32398408-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32398408-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 462540.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The p.Q3299* variant (also known as c.9895C>T), located in coding exon 26 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 9895. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 26. This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theBRCA2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and only impacts the last 120 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function (Ambry internal data). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln3299*) in the BRCA2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 120 amino acid(s) of the BRCA2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 462540). This variant disrupts a region of the BRCA2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr3308*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 18593900, 18607349). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
