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]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with lysine at codon 2273 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with endometrial cancer with a family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 32885271). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R2273K variant (also known as c.6818G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 6818. The arginine at codon 2273 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was observed in 1/3251 individuals who met eligibility criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Arg2273Lys variant was identified in the literature however the frequency of this variant in an affected population was not provided (Neveling_2017_27974384). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587782174) as “With Uncertain significance allele,” ClinVar (as uncertain significance by Ambry Genetics, and previously reported by Mount Sinai), Clinvitae (2x as uncertain significance), GeneInsight-COGR (as uncertain significance as previously reported by Mount Sinai), and Cosmic (1x in urinary tract tumour) databases. The variant was not identified in MutDB, LOVD 3.0, UMD-LSDB, BIC Database, or ARUP Laboratories databases. Our laboratory has identified this variant once before in a 41 year old female who had a strong family history of breast and ovarian cancer but did not have cancer herself. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Arg2273 residue is not conserved in mammals and the variant amino acid Lysine (Lys) is present in fishes, increasing the likelihood that this variant does not have clinical significance. Computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2273 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Arg2273Lys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 32885271). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142005). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
