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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2510 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Leu2510Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 14670928). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9345). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 21719596, 23108138, 29394989). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Data used in classification: The frequency of this variant is 0/138,632 individuals in gnomAD (PM2_mod). This variant is predicted deleterious on AlignGVGD (class: C65), SIFT (Deleterious), Polyphen2 HumVar (probably damaging) and CADD (25.1) (PP3-sup).

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7529T>C (p.Leu2510Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251352 control chromosomes. c.7529T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Faconi Anemia/Wilms tumor/Leukemia, Breast Cancer, and HBV infection/hepatic cancer (Hirsch_2004, Lovejoy_2020, Zhao_2020). A large case-control study evaluating breast cancer genetic risk also reported this variant was enriched in the case cohorts (Dorling_2021). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in losss of BRCA2 protein in patients cells carrying the current variant and a nonsense variant, and deleterious HDR by a gold-standard HDR assay (Hirsch_2004, Hu_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16825431, 21719596, 14670928, 35736817, 33302456, 36721989, 32957395, 33471991). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9345). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

This missense variant replaces leucine with proline at codon 2510 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have reported that this variant impacts BRCA2 function in a homology-directed repair assay (PMID: 23108138, 29394989, 29884841, 33609447) and severely disrupts BRCA2 function in the rescue of viability, chromosomal aberrations and sensitivities to DNA damaging agents in Brca2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 21719596). However, a mouse model for this missense mutation and aforementioned mouse ES cell study suggest that this variant protein retains some activity and may be hypomorphic (PMID: 21719596, 35365640). This variant has been reported in one individual each affected with breast cancer (PMID: 33302456) and liver cancer (PMID: 32957395), and it has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000205). This variant also has been reported in two siblings affected with biallelic Fanconi anemia who carried a pathogenic BRCA2 truncation variant in trans (PMID: 14670928). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: deficient homology-directed DNA repair activity, hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, deficiency in RAD51 foci formation; however reduced viability of rescued embryonic stem cells suggests this may be a hypomorphic variant (Biswas 2011, Guidugli 2018, Hart 2019, Richardson 2021); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Also known as 7757T>C; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23108138, 15645491, 22678057, 24301060, 16825431, 16115142, 25447315, 21719596, 29394989, 15689453, 32042831, 33609447, 29884841, 32957395, 12228710, 14670928)

The p.L2510P pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7529T>C), located in coding exon 14 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 7529. The leucine at codon 2510 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been detected in two siblings with Fanconi anemia (FA) in trans with a BRCA2 pathogenic mutation (Hirsch B et al. Blood. 2004 Apr;103:2554-9; Alter BP et al. J. Med. Genet. 2007 Jan;44:1-9). Using a mouse embryonic stem cell-based functional assay and homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair (HDR) assays, this alteration has been shown to have hypersensitivity to different DNA-damaging agents, deficiency in RAD51 foci formation and homologous recombination efficiency, increased chromosomal aberrations, and reduced binding to an essential cofactor, DSS1 (Biswas K et al. Blood. 2011 Sep;118:2430-42; Guidugli L et al. Cancer Res. 2013 Jan;73:265-75; Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2018 02;102:233-248; Hart SN et al. Genet. Med., 2019 01;21:71-80). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. However, because this variant is identified in one or more patients with Fanconi Anemia it may be hypomorphic and thus, carriers of this variant and their families may present with reduced risks, and not with the typical clinical characteristics of a high-risk pathogenic BRCA2 alteration. As risk estimates are unknown at this time, clinical correlation is advised.
