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 c.2957A>G; p.Asn986Ser variant (rs28897718) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with breast cancer, although its clinical significance was not determined in these studies (Borg 2010, Wong-Brown 2015). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 51377), and it is found in the non-Finnish European population with an overall allele frequency of 0.01% (13/128448 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The asparagine at codon 986 is moderately conserved and computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant is tolerated. However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Asn986Ser variant is uncertain at this time. References: Borg A et al.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2957A>G (p.Asn986Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.2e-05 in 249782 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (5.2e-05 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.2957A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast Cancer, as well as unaffected controls (e.g. Borg 2008, Capanu_2011, Wong-Brown 2015, Dorling_2021). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At-least one co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA2 c.2808_2811delACAA, p.Ala938Profs), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Biswas_2020). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant based on probability of impact on function (PIF) of variants based on cell survival (HAT) and drug sensitivity (DS) assay results individually and combined (HAT +DS). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20104584, 21520273, 23929434, 25682074, 33293522, 33471991). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51377). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The missense variant NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.2957A>G (p.Asn986Ser) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, to our knowledge. The gene BRCA2 contains 148 pathogenic missense variants, indicating that missense variants are a common mechanism of disease in this gene. The p.Asn986Ser missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by both SIFT or PolyPhen2. The nucleotide c.2957 in BRCA2 is not conserved according to a GERP++ and PhyloP analysis of 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -

The BRCA2 c.2957A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asn986Ser. This variant has been documented in patients with breast cancer from large cohort studies (Supp. Table S3, Borg et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20104584; Supplementary Table, Capanu et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21520273; Supplementary Table 2, Wong-Brown et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25682074). However, further clinical or functional evidence was not provided to assess the pathogenicity of this variant. This variant is reported in 0.010% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity ranging from benign to uncertain in the ClinVar database (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/51377). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
