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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Mar 18, 2020	The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The BRCA2 p.Tyr2826X variant was not identified in the literature, nor was it identified in several database searches (dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, HGMD, LOVD, COSMIC, ClinVar, GeneInsight COGR, BIC, UMD). The variant was identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database in 1 of 16542 chromosomes from a South Asian population. The p.Tyr2826X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 2826, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Y2826* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8478C>A), located in coding exon 18 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 8478. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine to a stop codon within coding exon 18. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with BRCA2-related hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12; Bisgin A et al. Breast, 2022 Oct;65:15-22; Yao L et al. J Hum Genet, 2022 Nov;67:639-642). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr2826*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is present in population databases (rs776353983, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 28724667, 32438681). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 254623). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
