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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 23 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32398321-G-GC is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32398321-G-GC is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 491394.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Oct 12, 2017	The c.9810dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 26 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 9810, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D3272Gfs*5). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Oct 07, 2020	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 27 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This mutant transcript is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and be expressed as a truncated protein. Although functional studies have not been reported, this variant is expected to disrupt the RAD51 binding domain and nuclear localization domain (NLS). In addition, truncating variants occurring downstream of this variant are classified to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 462540, 479310, 267177, 52916, 52919, 267176, 531239). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp3272Glyfs*5) in the BRCA2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 147 amino acid(s) of the BRCA2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 491394). This variant disrupts a region of the BRCA2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr3308*, p.Gln3299*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17026620, 17515903, 18593900, 18607349, 22711857, 24323938; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
