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 breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:5
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp | Jun 20, 2022 | Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5238dupT (p.Asn1747X) 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 252034 control chromosomes. c.5238dupT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Meindl_2002, Nanda_2005, Palma_2008, Pern_2012, Pohlreich_2005, Song_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very 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 and an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. - |

| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 25, 2024 | This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn1747*) 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 and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 11802209, 16168118, 23110154, 25682074, 26681312). This variant is also known as 5466insT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37954). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Feb 06, 2023 | This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal.

| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Dec 28, 2021 | The c.5238dupT pathogenic mutation (also known as p.N1747*), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 5238. This changes the amino acid from a asparagine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This mutation has been described in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer families, including individuals with pre-menopausal and triple negative breast cancer (Frank TS et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 1998 Jul;16(7):2417-25; Meindl A et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2002 Feb;97(4):472-80; Pohlreich P et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2005 Jul;7(5):R728-36; Palma MD et al. Cancer Res. 2008 Sep;68(17):7006-14; Pern F et al. PLoS One. 2012 Oct;7(10):e47993; Wong-Brown MW et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Feb;150:71-80; Schroeder C et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Jul;152:129-136). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5466insT in published literature. 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. - |

BRCA2-related disorder Pathogenic:1
| Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Jun 12, 2024 | The BRCA2 c.5238dupT variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Asn1747*). This variant has been documented to be pathogenic in multiple unrelated individuals with breast or ovarian cancer [Reported in Table III as 5466insT(1747X) in Meindl et al. 2002. PubMed ID: 11802209; reported as c.5238insT in Pern et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 23110154; reported in Table S1 as S1746fs in Cunningham et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24504028; reported in Suppl Table 1 as c.5237_5238insT (p.S1746fs) in Schroeder et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26022348]. This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. It is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/37954/). Nonsense variants in BRCA2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. - |
Malignant tumor of breast Pathogenic:1
| Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The BRCA2 p.Asn1747X variant was identified in 3 of 1936 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from German and Czech individuals or families with breast/ovarian or triple negative breast cancers (Meindl 2002, Pohlreich 2005, Pern 2012). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80359499) “With Pathogenic allele”, but no frequency information was provided, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined. The variant was identified in HGMD, the BIC database (9X with pathogenic clinical importance), and in Clinvitae (3x), the ClinVar database by multiple submitters (the Sharing Clinical Reports Project (SCRP) (submitted within the ClinVar database and derived from Myriad reports) as a pathogenic variant, 2X by BIC (both somatic and germline) classification not provided, Invitae, classification not provided, classified as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics, GeneDX and Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory - CHEO ). The c.5238 duplication variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1747 and leads to a premature stop codon at position 1747. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. - |
