Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.8737G>A​(p.Asp2913Asn) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,806 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D2913E) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8737G>A at the cDNA level, p.Asp2913Asn (D2913N) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to an Asparagine (GAC>AAC). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 8965G>A. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Asp2913Asn was not observed in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Aspartic Acid and Asparagine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Asp2913Asn occurs at a position that is conserved across species and is located in the DNA binding domain (Yang 2002). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Asp2913Asn is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
