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 frameshift variant causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. In addition, it has been identified in individuals affected with breast/ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMID: 29446198 (2018), 17688236 (2007)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.4551_4554delAGAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of four nucleotides at positions 4551 to 4554, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K1517Nfs*25). This mutation is located in the ovarian cancer cluster region of the BRCA2 gene and was reported in a family with two cases of ovarian cancer (Ramus SJ et al. Hum. Mutat. 2007 Dec; 28(12):1207-15). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4551_4554delAGAA (p.Lys1517AsnfsX25) 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 250542 control chromosomes. c.4551_4554delAGAA has been reported in the literature in at least one individual with ovarian cancer and a family history of ovarian cancer (Ramus_2007, Rebbeck_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories and two expert panels have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1517Asnfs*25) 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 17688236). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51669). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
