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]

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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9477C>A (p.Phe3159Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB3 domain of 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251178 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.9477C>A has been reported in the literature in the presumed heterozygous state in individuals affected with clinical features of Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome, without strong evidence for causality (Azzollini_2016, Fanale_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function in vitro. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (example, Biswas_2023). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27062684, 34178674, 19043619, 37922907). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52847). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3159 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Phe3159Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359221, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 27062684). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52847). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -
