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 BRCA2 c.7435+6G>A variant was identified in 2 of 124 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.016) from individuals or families with hereditary breast or ovarian cancer (Thomassen 2012, Whiley 2011); however, control chromosomes were not evaluated in these studies, thus the prevalence of this variant in the general population could not be determined. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs81002852) “With other allele” in the 1000 Genomes Project in 3 of 3000 chromosomes (frequency: 0.001), Exome Variant Server project in 12 of 4404 African American alleles, 0.0027), although this low number of observations and low frequency is not substantive enough to determine the prevalence of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The variant was also found in the ClinVar database with conflicting data from submitters, the BIC database (14 X with unknown clinical importance), and UMD (13 X as an unknown variant). In UMD the variant was identified with one co-occurring pathogenic BRCA1 variant c.2477_2478delCA (p.Thr826ArgfsX4) and one co-occuring BRCA2 pathogenic variant c.48dup (p.Thr17AspfsX14), increasing the likelihood that the c.7435+6G>A variant does not have clinical significance. The c.7435+6G>A variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) does not predict a difference in splicing in 5 of 5 different programs. In addition, in vitro analysis of mRNA in two studies indicated no splicing alterations (Thomassen 2012, Whiley 2011). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
