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]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.6553G>C (p.A2185P) alteration is located in exon 11 (coding exon 10) of the BRCA2 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 6553, causing the alanine (A) at amino acid position 2185 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the BRCA2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.6553G>C, in exon 11 that results in an amino acid change, p.Ala2185Pro. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with BRCA2-related disorders and has also not been described as a known benign sequence change in the BRCA2 gene. The p.Ala2185Pro change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the BRCA2 protein that is known to be functional. The p.Ala2185Pro substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Ala2185Pro change remains unknown at this time. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6553G>C (p.Ala2185Pro) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of four in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 246856 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.6553G>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite this variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

It has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in a large breast cancer association study in an unaffected individual (PMID: 33471991 (2021)). Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2185 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ala2185Pro). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with adult medulloblastomas (PMID: 33172502). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 479314). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
