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 c.5984dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 5984, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N1995KFS*8). This mutation has been reported in Iranian breast cancer families (Keshavarzi F et al, Fam. Cancer 2012 Mar; 11(1):57-67). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, since premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation (ACMG Recommendations for Standards for Interpretation and Reporting of Sequence Variations. Revision 2007. Genet Med. 2008;10:294).

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51981). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21918854, 24549055). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn1995Lysfs*8) 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).
