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.516+14C>T variant has been shown not to impact mRNA splicing in in vitro splicing assays (Bonnet 2008, Houdayer2012). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs rs182828913) “With benign allele”, with a minor allele frequency of .0006/3 (1000 Genomes Project, in 3 of 5000 chromosomes, frequency 0.0006), the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (released Oct 20th, 2014) in 36 of 116930 chromosomes (frequency: 0.0003) (or 5 individuals from a population of 63686 European (Non-Finnish) individuals, 31 of 11264 Latino individuals, and none from East Asian, Other, African, South Asian or European (Finnish) individuals; Clinvitae database (2X as benign/likely benign), the ClinVar database (classified as a benign variant by Invitae and GeneDX), GeneInsight COGR database (1X, unclassified by a clinical laboratory), and UMD (12X as a likely neutral variant, with a co-occurring pathogenic BRCA1 variant (c.-200_80del (p.Met1SerfsX13)), increasing the likelihood that the c.516+14C>T variant does not have clinical significance. The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with breast cancer. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.516+14C>T variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 5/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing, which was confirmed by multiple functional studies (Bonnet_2008, Houdayer_2012, Menendez_2012, de Garibay_2014). Although this variant has been reported in breast cancer patients, this variant was also found in 36/117190 control chromosomes, predominantly observed in the Latino subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0027521 (31/11264). This frequency is about 4 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA2 variant (0.0007503), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of Latino origin. In addition, co-occurrences of this variant and a pathogenic BRCA1 variant have been reported in at least two patients (Garcia-Casado_2011 and UMD database). Furthermore, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -
