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.9986A>G; p.Asn3329Ser variant (rs76635144) is reported in the literature in a family affected with breast or ovarian cancer, but without clear evidence for disease association (Zuntini 2018). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 141780), and is only observed on six alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The asparagine at codon 3329 is weakly conserved, and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of the p.Asn3329Ser variant is uncertain at this time. References: Zuntini R et al. Dealing With BRCA1/2 Unclassified Variants in a Cancer Genetics Clinic: Does Cosegregation Analysis Help?. Front Genet. 2018;9:378.

The BRCA2 c.9986A>G (p.Asn3329Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596 (2022)), ovarian cancer (PMID: 34157791 (2021)), prostate cancer (PMID: 21952622 (2011)), and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (PMID: 31396961 (2020)). This variant has also been reported in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 32467295 (2020), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/variants/BRCA2)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000024 (6/250776 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

The BRCA2 c.9986A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn3329Ser. This variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (Guindalini et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35264596), in an individual with biliary tract cancer (Okawa et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36243179), and in an individual with prostate cancer (Kote-Jarai et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21952622). This variant is not predicted to alter splicing based on available splicing prediction programs (Alamut Visual v1.6.1). However, the use of computer prediction programs is not equivalent to functional evidence. In addition, this variant has been reported in two individuals in healthy control cohorts (Breast Cancer Association Consortium et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33471991; Dong et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32467295). This variant is reported in 0.0065% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. It has conflicting classifications listed in ClinVar ranging from benign to uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141780/). Although this variant may be suspected benign, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9986A>G (p.Asn3329Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 250776 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. This variant has been observed in at-least one woman in a database of women who are cancer free and older than age 70 (FLOSSIES database). c.9986A>G has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual affected with prostate cancer (example, Kote-Jarai_2011), one individual affected with breast cancer (example, Guindalini_2022) and as a VUS in one family undergoing testing for the BRCA1/2 genes (example, Zuntini_2018). However, these report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported at our laboratory (BRCA2 c.1755_1759delGAAAA, p.Lys585fsX3), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21952622, 30254663, 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141780). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
