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

In the published literature, this variant has been reported to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense changed (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000032 (1/31402 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the 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 predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.4796A>G (p.Asn1599Ser) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a missense substitution that does not lie within a known functional domain (InterPro). 4/4 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant is absent from the large control database ExAC (0/120004 control chromosomes) but is present in gnomAD database (which includes ExAC and additional data from individuals undergoing whole genome sequencing) at an allele frequency of 0.01% (1/8734 chromosomes) in African subpopulation. To our knowledge, the variant of interest has not been reported in affected individuals via publications, nor has it been evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. However, it has been reported in UMD to co-occur with a premature truncating variant in BRCA1 gene c.2658insG (p.Ala887CysfsX16), suggesting non-pathogenic role of this variant. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as one of uncertain significance without evidence to independently evaluate. Based on the currently available information, this variant is classified as Variant of Unknown Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.N1599S variant (also known as c.4796A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4796. The asparagine at codon 1599 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The p.Asn1599Ser variant has not been previously reported in the literature. It is listed in dbSNP database (ID#: rs149759218) but no frequency information was provided, and so the prevalence of this variant in the general population is not known. The variant was identified in the UMD (x1) and Exome Server databases. In the UMD database, the p.Asn1599Ser variant was found to co-occur with a pathogenic mutation in BRCA2, c.2658insG (p.Ala887CysfsX16), increasing the likelihood that the variant is a benign alteration. This residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen, SIFT, AlignGVGD) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1599 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asn1599Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs149759218, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 230992). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
