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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in 3 individuals affected with prostate cancer and 6 individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer, including 2 male individuals (PMID: 29681614, 30339520, 30968603, 32058061, 32438681, 34072659, 34653963). 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). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Q1987* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5959C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5959. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with breast cancer, male breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (Azzollini J et al. Eur J Intern Med, 2016 Jul;32:65-71; Sun J et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119; Liang Y et al. Med Sci Monit, 2018 Apr;24:2465-2475; Wang X et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2019 06;7:e677; Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12:; Vietri MT et al. Eur J Med Genet, 2020 Jun;63:103883; Zeng C et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2020 Jun;181:465-473). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5959C>T (p.Gln1987X) 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. The variant was absent in 120624 control chromosomes. c.5959C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (see e.g. Azzollini 2016). 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. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1987*) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51973). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
