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 BRCA2, EXON02, c.-39-12_-39-10delTCT variant was not identified in the literature, but was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs276174798) “With non-pathogenic allele”, in UMD 2X as an “unclassified variant” (UV), and in the BIC database 7X as a variant with unknown clinical importance. This variant is located in the 3' splice region of the 5' UTR, which may be involved in splicing activity of Exon 2 (the first coding exon). The variant does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions; however, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. Computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) provide inconsistent predictions regarding splicing; 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. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
