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 c.-15A>C variant has been previously reported in the literature in one study that looked at in-silico analyses of variants in the 5' untranslated region of the gene (Ozreti 2010). However, this information was not useful in determining the clinical significance of this variant. It is possible that this variant may influence the binding of transcription factors and expression or processing of the BRCA2 mRNA transcript. However, there is limited data to support this claim. It is listed in the dbSNP database (ID#: rs138705202) with a “global minor allele frequency" of 0.001 (1000 genomes), but was not validated. It is possible that this variant is common in a population from a geographic origin that has not been tested by our laboratory such that the full spectrum of benign variation has not yet been defined for this gene and increasing the likelihood that this variant may be benign. However, we cannot rule out that this variant may be implicated in the phenotype of this individual. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. Therefore this variant is a variant of unknown significance (VUS). -
