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]

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4928T>C (p.Val1643Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.9e-05 in 1600364 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not higher than the estimated maximum expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4928T>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer without strong evidence of causality (e.g. Konecny_2011, Lu_2012, Peixoto_2014, Spearman_2008, Fanale_2021, Dorling_2021), and was also found in controls (Dorling_2021). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA1 c.5263_5264insC, p.Ser1755?fs and BRCA2 c.9976A>T, p.Lys3326Ter in the BIC database), 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 in a well-established mouse embryonic stem cell based assay examining the ability to rescue the lethality of BRCA2-null mESC as well as sensitivity to six DNA damaging agents including ionizing radiation and a PARP inhibitor. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33293522, 21702907, 21203900, 22476429, 24916970, 18824701, 33471991, 31131967, 34178674). 12 other submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and reported the variant with conflicting assessments and a majority consensus as likely benign/benign (n=9) (VUS, n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The BRCA2 p.Val1643Ala variant was identified in 1 of 698 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer and was found not to segregate with disease in the proband’s two family members with breast cancer (Fernandes 2016). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs28897731) as "With other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by SCRP; as likely benign by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Invitae, and Michigan Medical Genetics; and as uncertain significance by Humangenetik Teubingen, COGR, and BIC), and LOVD 3.0 (classified as uncertain or NA by 3 submitters). The variant has been identified by our laboratory in at least three individuals with breast cancer; one of whom also has a co-occurring pathogenic ATM variant (c.5712dup, p.Ser1905Ilefs*25). The variant was identified in control databases in 7 of 239572 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00003 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Latino in 1 of 32346 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), European in 3 of 109484 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), and South Asian in 3 of 28946 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001); it was not observed in the African, Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or Finnish populations. The p.Val1643 residue is not conserved in mammals and 5 of 5 computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) 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. -
