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]

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.5608_5613delTTCAGT variant (also known as p.F1870_S1871del) is located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene. This variant results from an in-frame TTCAGT deletion at nucleotide positions 5608 to 5613. This results in the in-frame deletion of two amino acids (FS) at codons 1870 to 1871. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 1666 patients undergoing genetic assessment at a hereditary breast and ovarian cancer center (Chapman-Davis E et al. J Gen Intern Med, 2021 Jan;36:35-42). The deleted amino acid region is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes the deletion of two amino acids, phenylalanine and serine at codons 1870 and 1871, in the BRCA2 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual with a personal or family history of BRCA2-related cancer (PMID: 32720237). This variant has not been identified 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.5608_5613del, results in the deletion of 2 amino acid(s) of the BRCA2 protein (p.Phe1870_Ser1871del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 420724). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
