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.8668C>A (p.Leu2890Ile) variant has been reported in the published literature in affected individuals with prostate cancer and in carriers from high risk breast and/or ovarian cancer families (PMIDs: 19043619 (2008), 21952622 (2011), and 36329109 (2022)). It was also reported in breast cancer cases as well as in reportedly healthy individuals in a large scale breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000018 (5/282728 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

The BRCA2 c.8668C>A (p.Leu2890Ile) missense change has a maximum frequency of 0.0080% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-32950842-C-A?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). In silico tools are not in agreement about the effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional assays have not been performed. This variant is absent in the FLOSSIES database which contains genetic variants from women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (https://whi.color.com/). This variant was reported in an individual with prostate cancer who was either diagnosed <65 years of age or diagnosed >65 years of age with a family history of prostate cancer (PMID: 21952622). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: no applicable criteria. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L2890I variant (also known as c.8668C>A), located in coding exon 20 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 8668. The leucine at codon 2890 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in 1/257 Brazilian patients with suspected hereditary breast/ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) (Matta BP et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Nov;12:18629). This alteration was also detected in a prostate cancer patient who was either diagnosed <65y or diagnosed >65y with a family history of prostate cancer (Kote-Jarai Z et al. Br J Cancer. 2011 Oct 11;105:1230-4). This alteration is predicted to be neutral or stabilizing by other models and in silico tools (Karchin R et al. Cancer Inform. 2008 Apr;6:203-16; Doss CG et al. Cell Biochem. Biophys. 2014 Nov;70:939-56). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces leucine with isoleucine at codon 2890 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 36329109), an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28591715), and an individual affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 21952622). In a large breast cancer case-control study conducted by the BRIDGES consortium this variant was reported in 3/60466 cases and 2/53461 controls (OR=1.326, 95%CI 0.222 to 7.938; p-value=1) (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000363). This variant has also been identified in 5/282728 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

This missense variant replaces leucine with isoleucine at codon 2890 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. A functional assay has reported that this variant protein showed intermediate activity between wild-type and null variant proteins in a cisplatin and PARP inhibitor sensitivity assays using mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 37922907). This variant has been reported in at least one individual each affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 36329109), prostate cancer (PMID: 21952622) and colorectal cancer (PMID: 28591715). This variant also has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 3/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000363), and it was reported in a multifactorial analysis with likelihood for pathogenicity based on personal and family history of 0.718 (PMID: 31853058). This variant has also been identified in 5/282728 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8668C>A (p.Leu2890Ile) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251326 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8668C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer (example, Karchin_2008) and other cancer phenotypes (example, Kote-Jarai_2011, Deihimi_2017). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant(s) have been observed at our laboratory (BRCA1 c.3340G>T, p.Glu1114*), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments (Likely benign, n=2; VUS, n=9). Some cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
