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 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PP5: Variant 13-32340561-TAGAA-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32340561-TAGAA-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 52032.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32340561-TAGAA-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr13-32340561-TAGAA-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 14, 2021	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2070Valfs*10) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer, including a family history of male breast cancer (PMID: 22762150, 26026974). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52032). Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Nov 16, 2020	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6209_6212delAAAG (p.Glu2070ValfsX10) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250212 control chromosomes. c.6209_6212delAAAG has been widely reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.6209_6212delAAAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at positions 6209 to 6212, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2070Vfs*10). This mutation has previously been reported in families affected with breast, ovarian, and other cancers (Lecarpentier J et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012 Jul 3;14(4):R99; de Juan I et al. Fam. Cancer 2015 Dec;14(4):505-13). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
