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

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8067T>A (p.Cys2689X) 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 251244 control chromosomes. c.8067T>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys2689*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9167459, 10638982, 22009639, 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52493). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8067T>A at the cDNA level and p.Cys2689Ter (C2689X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Cysteine to a premature stop codon (TGT>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 8295T>A and has been reported in multiple individuals with personal and family histories consistent with hereditary breast cancer (Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium 1997, Litton 2000, Peelen 2000, van der Hout 2006, Bayraktar 2012). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

The p.C2689* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8067T>A), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 8067. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 17. This variant has been reported in studies of patients with suspected hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer and in a patient with Fanconi anemia (Stratton M et al. Lancet 1997 May; 349(9064):1505-10; Peelen T et al. Br. J. Cancer 2000 Jan; 82(1):151-6.;Litton JK et al. Cancer 2012 Jan; 118(2):321-5; Bayraktar S et al. Cancer 2012 Mar; 118(6):1515-22; Ameziane N et al. Anemia 2012; 2012:132856; Vos JR et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 2014 Nov; 23(11):2482-91). 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. -
