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: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: The variant of interest causes a synonymous change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 5/5 in silico programs via Alamut predicting no significant effect on splicing, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC with an allele frequency of 10/121302 (1/12195), predominantly found in the African cohort, 10/10370 (1/1037), which exceeds the maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic BRCA2 variant of 1/1333. Therefore, suggesting that the variant of interest is a rare polymorphism specific to population(s) of African origin. The variant of interest has been reported in at least one affected individual via a publication, although with limited information (ie lack co-segregation data). However, an internal LCA sample reports the variant to co-occur with another probable pathogenic BRCA2 variant, c.2480dupA (p.N827fsX3 classified as likely pathogenic). In addition, multiple reputable clinical laboratories cite the variant with a classification of "likely benign/benign." Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest is classified as likely benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Val3240Val variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site, and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. The variant was not identified in the literature, but was identified in the BIC database (5X as a variant with unknown clinical importance), and in dbSNP (ID: rs80359810) â€šÃ„ÃºWith untested alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹. The variant was identified in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server) in 10 of 4406 African American chromosomes (frequency: 0.002), increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as predicted benign. -
