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

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000087 (3/34536 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 26543556 (2015)) and in an individual with young-onset colorectal cancer (PMID: 33359728 (2022)). 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.5341G>A (p.Asp1781Asn) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide and 3/4 in silico tools (SNPsandGO not captured due to low reliability index) predict a benign outcome. However, these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. This variant was found in 2/120702 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0000166, which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic BRCA2 variant (0.0007503). A publication cites the variant in an affected individual with limited information (ie, lack of co-occurrence and cosegregation data)(Dean_BRCA_GigaScience_2015). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories classified this variant as uncertain significance. Therefore, due to the limited available information (ie, lack of clinical and/or functional studies), the variant of interest has been classified as a "Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS). -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 1781 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). A functional study in mouse embryonic stem cells reported that this variant did not impact cell survival or sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents (PMID: 33293522). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 26543556) and in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 33359728). This variant has been identified in 3/250662 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This 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. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1781 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp1781Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs183478654, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26543556, 33359728). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142848). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 33293522). 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. -
