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

The BRCA2 c.6475C>G (p.Gln2159Glu) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 30400234 (2018)), ovarian cancer (PMID: 28888541 (2017)), and rhabdomyosarcoma (PMID: 24793135 (2014)). It has also been described to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000076 (2/261556 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.6475C>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln2159Glu. This variant has been reported in two Puerto Rican individuals with breast cancer, although no further evidence was provided to determine its pathogenicity (Table 2, Diaz-Zabala et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30400234). It has also been reported in a rhabdomyosarcoma specimen (Table S3, Kohsaka et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24793135). This variant is reported in 2 of ~262,000 alleles in gnomAD v2 and has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/91450/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6475C>G (p.Gln2159Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant is not located to any known functional domain, and the Gln2159 amino acid residue occurs in an evolutionarily not constrained region (PMID: 29358731). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.9e-05 in 150946 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00072 within the Latino subpopulation in the gnomAD database (v3.1 genomes dataset). This frequency is comparable to the estimated maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.00075), suggesting that the variant might be benign. The variant, c.6475C>G, has been reported in the literature in two Puerto Rican breast cancer patients (Diaz-Zabala_2018). However, this report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30400234). Seven other submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as likely benign (n=4) or VUS (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
