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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.03461051 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.2, offset of 21, new splice context is: ttgGTaaaa. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32363535-T-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32363535-T-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 230571.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the c.8331+2T nucleotide in the BRCA2 gene. Other variant(s) that disrupt this nucleotide have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 19619314, 21614564, 24504028, 25186627, 28008555, 28339459, 29339979, 29446198, 29487695). This suggests that this nucleotide is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this position are likely to be disease-causing. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230571). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 18 of the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8331+2T>G is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5 splicing donor site. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant was absent in 247808 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.8331+2T>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with ovarian cancer (Lilyquist_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic and likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

Observed in a patient with ovarian cancer (PMID: 28888541); A different nucleotide change at the same canonical splice site (c.8331+2T>C) has demonstrated aberrant splicing, resulting in both null and wildtype transcripts (PMID: 28339459, 30832263, 31143303, 32123317); Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele; although, in the absence of functional evidence the actual effect of this sequence changes is unknown; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as 8559+2T>G; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28888541, 28339459, 30832263, 31143303, 32123317) -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.8331+2T>G intronic pathogenic mutation results from a T to G substitution two nucleotides after coding exon 17 in the BRCA2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. Several variants at this splice donor site demonstrated substantial but incomplete abnormal splicing in multiple different RNA analyses (Ambry internal data; Gelli E et al. Cancers (Basel), 2019 Mar;11; Nix P et al. Fam Cancer, 2021 Jan; Fraile-Bethencourt E et al. PLoS Genet, 2017 Mar;13:e1006691). Furthermore, the close match alteration BRCA2 c.8331+2T>C was observed in individuals who collectively do not present with a clinical history seen in typical high-risk hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) variant carriers (Nix P et al. Fam Cancer, 2021 Jan;). However, these data cannot rule out the possibility of a hypomorphic variant with atypical risks. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. However, carriers of this variant and their families may present with reduced risks, and not with the typical clinical characteristics of a high-risk pathogenic BRCA2 alteration. As risk estimates are unknown at this time, clinical correlation is advised. -
