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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 25, 2023Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4376A>G (p.Asn1459Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2 repeat region (IPR002093), located between repeat 3 and 4 of 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 4.3e-05 in 276508 control chromosomes, exclusively reported within the East Asian subpopulation at a frequency of 0.0006 (in the gnomAD v2.1 dataset). This frequency is somewhat lower than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.00075), allowing no clear conclusions about variant significance. The variant, c.4376A>G, has been reported in the literature in individuals of East Asian origin affected with breast- or ovarian cancer (Lai_2017, Bhaskaran_2019), but was also found in several unaffected East Asian controls (Lai_2017, Momozawa_2018, Dong_2021). In a recent large study evaluating breast cancer cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the variant was reported in 7/60466 cases, but was also found in 9/53461 controls (Dorling_2021, reported through LOVD). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. However, a large scale study utilizing multifactorial probability model for quantitative analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants predicted this variant to be likely benign (Parsons_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31131967, 28222693, 30287823, 30702160, 32467295, 33471991). Eight submitters have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014, mostly without evidence for independent evaluation, and classified the variant as VUS (n=5) or likely benign (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
