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]

Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingIllumina Laboratory Services, IlluminaSep 14, 2023The BRCA2 c.4471_4474del (p.Leu1491LysfsTer12) variant causes a shift in the protein reading frame that is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. Loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay is expected. Across a selection of the literature this variant has been identified in at least five individuals with a breast cancer phenotype (PMIDs: 24013928; 34645131; 3265831; 35710434). This variant is not observed at a significant frequency in version 2.1.1 or version 3.1.2 of the Genome Aggregation Database. Based on the available evidence the c.4471_4474del (p.Leu1491LysfsTer12) variant is classified as likely pathogenic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoNov 01, 2022This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/250468 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 24013928 (2014), 30350268 (2018), 32658311 (2021), and 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA2)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoApr 08, 2022DNA sequence analysis of the BRCA2 gene demonstrated a four base pair deletion in exon 11, c.4471_4474del. This pathogenic sequence change results in an amino acid frameshift and creates a premature stop codon 12 amino acids downstream of the change, p.Leu1491Lysfs*12. This sequence change is predicted to result in an abnormal transcript, which may be degraded, or may lead to the production of a truncated BRCA2 protein with potentially abnormal function. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database in one individual which corresponds to a population frequency of 0.00040% (dbSNP rs1442953012). This sequence change has previously been described in individuals with breast cancer and colorectal cancer (PMID: 24013928, 30350268, 31875949, 32658311). Based on these collective evidences, this sequence change is classified as pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 10, 2021The c.4471_4474delCTGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at positions 4471 to 4474, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L1491Kfs*12). This alteration, also designated as 4699del4 in the literature, has been identified in several cohorts of breast cancer patients (Pal T et al. J. Community Genet. 2014 Apr; 5(2):157-65; Ryu JM et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2019 Jan;173:385-395; Akcay IM et al. Int J Cancer. 2021 01;148:285-295). 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. -
