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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2491*) 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 individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 18489799, 22970155, 27157322, 29446198). This variant is also known as 7699C>T in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52339). Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Gln2491* variant was identified in 2 of 1500 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (Kwong 2012, Machackova 2008). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358971) as "With Pathogenic allele", ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by ENIGMA, Ambry Genetics and three other submitters), COGR, LOVD 3.0 (4x ), UMD-LSDB (1x as causal), BIC Database (2x with clinical importance), ARUP Laboratories (definitely pathogenic), and in Zhejiang University Database. The variant was not identified in Cosmic, or MutDB databases. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Gln2491* variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 2491 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in breast or ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q2491* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7471C>T), located in coding exon 14 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 7471. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 14. This alteration has been reported in one Czech high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer family (Machackova E et al. BMC Cancer. 2008 May;8:140). It has also been identified in 1/119 Chinese high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer patients (Kwong A et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2009 Oct;117:683-6). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 7699C>T in published literature. 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. -
