The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.1813dupA (p.Ile605AsnfsTer11) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000137 (AC=22) in the gnomAD database across 1,601,314 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000197. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000918819: Functional study showed variant with diminished DNA double strand break repair capacity (Becker_2012)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

Genes affected
BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) The product of this gene in involved in maintenance of genome stability. It is involved in double-strand break repair pathways during mitotic and meiotic homologous recombination and functions in protecting DNA replication forks. The encoded protein contains sites for interactions with PALB2 and EMSY and an N-terminal DNA binding domain. It also contains a RAD51 binding domain with multiple components. It has multiple BRC repeats, an alpha helix domain, oligonucleotide binding folds, and a tower-like domain. It has a nuclear localization signal and a phosphorylation site for cyclin-dependent kinase. The C-terminus of the protein can bind single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The product of this gene interacts with multiple proteins, including RAD51. It is involved in recruiting RAD51 filaments to DNA double-strand break sites and also in cytoplasmic division. It also acts as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene or decreased expression have been implicated in multiple tumor types, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate and other cancers.

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 21 points.

PVS1Null variant in LOF gene
Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF disease mechanism — very strong (PVS1); Frameshift (exon 10 of 27) at amino acid 605 of 3418, predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss of function is a known disease mechanism for this gene. A new stop codon is introduced in the shifted frame, truncating the protein to ~614 amino acids (2804 amino acids lost).
PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV000918819: Functional study showed variant with diminished DNA double strand break repair capacity (Becker_2012).; SCV000186437: This alteration, in compound heterozygosity with another BRCA2 mutation, was also reported in an individual with Fanconi anemia (Myers, 2012). The c.1813dupA pathogenic mutation was reported in two unrelated probands with a personal and/or family history of breast/ovarian cancers and was shown to diminish DNA double strand break repair capacity in response to irradiation (Becker , 2012).; SCV004562779: Functional data indicate that cell lines derived from patients harboring the c.1813dup variant are more susceptible than wild-type to radiation induced chromosomal abnormalities (Becker 2012). PMID: 22729890.; SCV000805657: A functional in vitro study using blood lymphocytes on this variant has demonstrated significantly higher radiation-induced chromosomal aberrations (Becker et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22729890).
PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases
Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000197 — borderline rare for AD+AR gene (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000139 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000139) — PM2 supporting.
PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic
ClinVar ≥3 stars pathogenic — very strong (PP5); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 3 star(s).
