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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32333214-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32333214-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 430955.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-32333214-T-G is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Nov 02, 2021

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25940717). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L579* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1736T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1736. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This alteration has been reported as a germline mutation in multiple individuals with pancreatic cancer (Golan T et al. Br. J. Cancer, 2014 Sep;111:1132-8; Lohse I et al. Br. J. Cancer, 2015 Jul;113:425-32; Holter S et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2015 Oct;33:3124-9). 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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Jul 26, 2021

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu579*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25940717). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 430955). Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1736T>G (p.Leu579X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250840 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.1736T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Holter_2015). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
