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]

The BRCA2 c.8756G>T; p.Gly2919Val variant (rs80359131), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 52673). This variant is also absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.225). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.8756G>T (p.Gly2919Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer as well as reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA2)), and in a cohort of individuals referred for hereditary breast/ovarian cancer testing (PMID: 31853058 (2020)). Computational studies have reported conflicting findings that this variant may have a deleterious or neutral effect on BRCA2 function (PMID: 19043619 (2008), 24817641 (2014)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

This missense variant replaces glycine with valine at codon 2919 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8756G>T (p.Gly2919Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 250484 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.8756G>T in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 19043619, 21523855). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52673). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2919 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Gly2919Val). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 21520333). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52673). An algorithm developed specifically for the BRCA2 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be tolerated (PMID: 19043619). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
