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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.9209C>T at the cDNA level, p.Ser3070Phe (S3070F) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Serine to a Phenylalanine (TCT>TTT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 9437C>T. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Ser3070Phe was not observed in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Serine and Phenylalanine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Ser3070Phe occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the DNA binding domain (Yang 2002). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Ser3070Phe is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely 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.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces serine with phenylalanine at codon 3070 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). A functional study has shown that this variant does not impact homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 35736817). This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer and an individual affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 25186627, 31214711, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_007515). One individual affected with breast cancer also carried a pathogenic variant in the CHEK2 gene that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 25186627). This variant has been identified in 1/251282 chromosomes 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 sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3070 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ser3070Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs747837583, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186691). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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.
