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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJul 31, 2023In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMIDs: 33471991 (2021), 30287823 (2018), 21520273 (2011), 20104584 (2010)), as well as in unaffected individuals in a breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). In addition, this variant is reported to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0002 (4/19950 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 04, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with breast cancer (Borg et al., 2010; Momozawa et al., 2018; Dorling et al., 2021); Also known as 5723C>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20104584, 28222693, 30311378, 30212499, 30287823, 31131967, 21520273, 32377563, 29884841, 33471991) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 25, 2021The BRCA2 c.5495C>A; p.Ser1832Tyr variant (rs138489917) has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals with breast cancer, but without evidence of pathogenicity (Borg 2010, Momozawa 2018). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91415), and observed in the East Asian population at an overall frequency of 0.021% (4/18860 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The serine at codon 1832 is weakly conserved, and computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.409). This variant has been detected in an individual who also harbored a pathogenic BRCA1 variant, suggesting that BRCA2 p.Ser1832Tyr does not contribute to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. However, due to the lack of clinical and functional data regarding this variant, its clinical significance cannot be determined with certainty. References: Borg A et al.

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 03, 2017This 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. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA2 p.Ser1832Tyr variant was identified in 1 of 4206 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0002) from individuals or families with breast cancer (Borg 2010). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs138489917) as With Uncertain significance allele, ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, Invitae, SCRP; classified as uncertain significance by GeneDx), Genesight-COGR (classified as unknown significance), UMD-LSDB (2X uncertain significance), databases. The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, BIC Database, ARUP Laboratories, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 5 of 276638 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 increasing the likelihood that this may be a low frequency benign variant in certain populations of origin (Genome Aggregation Consortium Feb 27, 2017). The p.Ser1832 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant is located with the Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein functional domain increasing the likelihood that it may have clinical significance. In addition, in an in silico study of 2103 women with unilateral and contralateral breast cancer the variant was found in patient with unilateral breast cancer and determined unclassified (Borg 2010). In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
not specified Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 10, 2022Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5495C>A (p.Ser1832Tyr) results in a non-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 250668 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5495C>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (example, Borg_2010, Momozawa_2018). These reports however, do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. A study using multifactorial probability likelihood analysis reported this variant as strong in favour of a benign outcome (Parsons_2019). At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (BRCA1 c.5096G>A, p.Arg1699Gln), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Multiple laboratories reported the variant with conflicting assessments (likely benign, n=3; VUS, n=3). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
