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:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces isoleucine with phenylalanine at codon 1173 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in three individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 32380732, 34178674). A multifactorial analysis has reported a likelihood ratio for pathogenicity based on personal and family history of 1.684 from log(LR)=0.226 for one carrier (PMID: 31853058). This variant has not been identified 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.3517A>T (p.Ile1173Phe) 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 was absent in 250806 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.3517A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related cancers (examples: Incorvaia_2020, Fanale_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA1 c.514delC , p.Gln172fs; BRCA1 c.4964_4982del, p.Ser1655fs), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (Fanale_2021). At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. These results showed no damaging effect of this variant (example: Xia_2022). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 32980867, 34178674, 27149842, 32380732, 35762214). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96793). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces isoleucine with phenylalanine at codon 1173 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 reported in an individual affected with breast cancer and an individual affected with ovarian cancer (PMID: 34178674). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1173 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ile1173Phe). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, chordoma, and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 34178674, 35762214). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 96793). 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. -
