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 is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25371446) and ovarian cancer (PMID: 22711857). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org).

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 18, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1371*) 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). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 25371446). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51599). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpSep 20, 2021Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4111C>T (p.Gln1371X) 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 248174 control chromosomes. c.4111C>T has been widely reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 14, 2022The p.Q1371* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4111C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4111. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration was detected in three individuals from a cohort of 810 unselected, Hispanic women with a personal history of breast cancer (Torres-Mejía G et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 2015 Mar;24:498-505). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesMay 02, 2019The BRCA2 c.4111C>T; p.Gln1371Ter variant (rs80358659) has been described in multiple individuals and families affected with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC; Rebbeck 2018, Torres-Mejia 2015). It is reported as pathogenic by multiple sources in ClinVar (Variation ID: 51599) and is absent from general population databases (Exome Variant Server and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Additionally, several downstream truncating variants have been described in association with HBOC (Rebbeck 2018). Based on available information, the p.Gln1371Ter variant is considered pathogenic.
