Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.1192delC​(p.Leu398fs) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L398L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32332669-AC-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32332669-AC-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 409454.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Aug 15, 2016

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Leu398X variant in BRCA2 has not been previously reported in individuals w ith hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) or in large population studies, though the ability of these studies to accurately detect indels may be limited. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 398, wh ich is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in HBOC. In summa ry, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an au tosomal dominant manner based upon the predicted impact to the protein. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This sequence change deletes 1 nucleotide from exon 10 of the BRCA2 mRNA (c.1192delC), causing a frameshift at codon 398. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu398*) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
