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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.79).
• BP6: Variant 13-32357736-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-32357736-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 377583.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The c.7618-6G>T variant has not been previously observed in the literature, nor has it been or been reported in the LOVD, Exome Variant Server or UMD databases. The variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. Computational or in-silico analyses do not demonstrate altered splicing in any of the splice prediction programs (SpliceSiteFinder-like, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, HumanSpliceFinder, GeneSplicer), increasing the possibility that this may be a benign variant. 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 at this time. Therefore this variant is a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7618-6G>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Experimental evidence supports these predictions indicating no effect on splicing following cDNA analysis in patient samples (Baert_2018). The variant was absent in 249062 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.7618-6G>T has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Bosdet_2013). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
