Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.6901G>A​(p.Glu2301Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000014 in 1,431,184 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).

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]

The c.6901G>A variant (also known as p.E2301K), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 6901. The glutamic acid at codon 2301 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. In a study of 1854 high-risk breast and ovarian cancer families in Italy, this alteration was detected in 1 family (Azzollini J et al. Eur J Intern Med, 2016 Jul;32:65-71). This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice donor site; however this exon may be clinically dispensable based on partially retained homology directed DNA repair activity (Meulemans L et al. Cancer Res, 2020 04;80:1374-1386). In addition, the literature describes a patient with a splice variant causing coding exon 11 skipping found in trans with a truncating BRCA2 variant in an individual without apparent Fanconi Anemia; although the degree of exon skipping is uncertain (Li L et al. Hum. Mutat., 2009 Nov;30:1543-50; Meulemans L et al. Cancer Res, 2020 04;80:1374-1386). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
