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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2 Benign:1

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Mar 23, 2022	The p.K601N variant (also known as c.1803A>C), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1803. The lysine at codon 601 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was identified in a cohort of pancreatic cancer patients undergoing whole exome sequencing (Yang XR et al. Hum Genet, 2016 Nov;135:1241-1249). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	May 10, 2022	This missense variant replaces lysine with asparagine at codon 601 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 0/60466 cases and 6/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_003057). This variant has been identified in 7/241228 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1803A>C (p.Lys601Asn) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.9e-05 in 241228 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1803A>C has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual within a cohort with pancreatic cancer without germline CDKN2A variants (example, Yang_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 491210). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 601 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Lys601Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs768106492, gnomAD 0.006%). 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: 491210). 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. -
