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]

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.93G>A (p.Trp31X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250830 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.93G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And/or Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (examples: Rebbeck_2018 and Zheng_2018). At least one publication reports experimental evidence demonstating an impact on protein function (Mesman_BRCA2_GIM_2020). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. Four submitters including an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp31*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52829). This variant is also known as 321G>A. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 17080309, 22009639, 22776961, 26911350). -

The p.W31* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.93G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 93. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 2. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with BRCA2-related hereditary cancer predisposition (Makhetha M et al. S Afr Med J, 2024 May;114:e1094; Guindalini RSC et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Mar;12:4190; Zheng Y et al. J Clin Oncol, 2018 Oct;36:2820-2825; Fanale D et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 Aug;12:; Bayraktar S et al. Cancer, 2012 Mar;118:1515-22). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
