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 variant has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21939546). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of exon 3, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 32398771). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51410). This sequence change falls in intron 3 of the BRCA2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the BRCA2 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Class 5 Pathogenic based on posterior probability = 0.9999 (PMID: 29707112) from multifactorial likelihood analysis, thresholds for IARC Class as per Plon et al. 2008 (PMID: 18951446). Almost complete (95%) skipping of exon 3 (r.68_316del) in a minigene splicing assay. Molecular consequence is the same as other variants designated as pathogenic as determined by multifactorial likelihood analysis (PMID: 29707112). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.316+5G>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to C substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 2 in the BRCA2 gene. This alteration has been reported in multiple families with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer and segregates strongly with disease (Caputo SM et al. Oncotarget 2018 Apr;9(25):17334-17348; Labidi-Galy SI et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2018 Jan;24(2):326-333). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. RNA analyses using both patient RNA samples and minigene assays have shown that this alteration causes complete skipping of coding exon 2 (also designated as exon 3 in published literature) (Bonnet C et al. J. Med. Genet. 2008 Jul;45(7):438-46; Houdayer C et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Aug;33(8):1228-38; Fraile-Bethencourt E et al. J. Pathol., 2019 Aug;248:409-420; Ambry internal data), and further functional analysis showed that cells with this alteration could not survive upon Mitomycin-C treatment, which corresponds to a lack of function for the BRCA2 protein with the c.316+5G>C alteration (Caputo SM et al. Oncotarget 2018 Apr;9(25):17334-17348). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Based on the majority of available evidence to-date, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
