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 variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00011 in 236946 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (0.00011 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.682-12_682-11delTA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Borg_2010, Spearman_2008). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA2 c.682-12_682-11del variant was identified in the literature, in functional studies, to show no splicing defect in RNA analysis from lymphoblastoid cell lines of affected individuals when compared to controls (Whiley 2011, Spearman 2008). A quantitative bioinformatics predictive model (posterior probability) for assessing the clinical relevance of unclassified variants, assessed the variant to be likely not pathogenic (Lindor 2012). The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1451303962) as “NA”, ClinVar (classified with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity; submitters: benign by Color, Invitae and SCRP (Sharing Clinical Reports Project), likely benign by GeneDx and Integrated Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, and uncertain significance by BIC), and LOVD 3.0 (1X). The variant was not identified in UMD-LSDB. The variant was identified in control databases in 24 (1 homozygous) of 241450 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0001 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: in 6 of 21348 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Other in 1 of 5916 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European (non-Finnish) in 14 of 107942 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), and South Asian in 3 (1 homozygous) of 29548 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), while not observed in the African, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, and East Asian populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
