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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32357832-A-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32357832-A-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 267032.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32357832-A-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr13-32357832-A-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7708A>T (p.Lys2570X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251340 control chromosomes. c.7708A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g. Rebbeck_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (both expert panels) have cited the variant as pathogenic (evaluation after 2014). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant has been observed in individual(s) at risk for hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267032). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys2570*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
