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 p.Thr3013Ile variant was identified in 5 of 2946 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals with breast or ovarian cancer (Claes 2004, Diez 2003, Kim 2005). This variant was listed in dbSNP (ID: rs28897755) “With probable-non-pathogenic allele”, and in the Exome Variant Server ESP project with a frequency of 0.0004. It was identified in several populations from the HapMap project, including: HAPMAP-MEX (frequency: 0.03), HapMap-JPT (frequency: 0.012), and HapMap-HCB (frequency: 0.012), increasing the likelihood that this is a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin. The variant was also identified in the following databases: HGMD, LOVD, BIC (53X with no clinical importance), and UMD (13X as a neutral variant). In UMD it was twice reported to co-occur with pathogenic mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes (BRCA2 c.1257delT (p.Cys419TrpfsX11), BRCA1 c.5266dup (p.Gln1756ProfsX74)), increasing the likelihood that this variant does not have clinical significance. In addition, in silico studies and functional studies predict this that this variant has a neutral effect on BRCA2 protein function (Guidugli 2013, Karachin 2008). The p.Thr3013 residue is not conserved in mammals and lower organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein but this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -

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. -

The BRCA2 c.9038C>T; p.Thr3013Ile variant (rs28897755) has been reported in the literature in individuals with a personal or family history of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Houdayer 2012, Malone 2000, Sanz 2010). However, this variant has also been found incidentally in an individual with no personal or family history of cancer (Johnston 2012). This variant is reported with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity in ClinVar, with most sources classifying as benign or likely benign (Variation ID: 38205) and is seen in the general population at an overall frequency of 0.02% (65/276280 alleles, including 1 homozygote) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The threonine at codon 3013 is moderately conserved but computational algorithms (SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster) predict this variant to have no impact on protein function. In agreement with this, functional analysis of this variant protein shows no defects in DNA double-strand break repair using a cell-based homology directed repair assay (Guidugli 2013). Based on the above information, this variant is considered likely benign. REFERENCES Guidugli L et al.

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -
