Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_ModerateBP6

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.4531G>A​(p.Glu1511Lys) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000018 in 1,613,778 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 13/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E1511Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0002 (6/30574 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 30651582 (2019)) and neuroblastoma (PMID: 27009842 (2016)). It has also been reported in control individuals (PMIDs: 32980694 (2020), 30287823 (2018)). This variant co-occurred with a pathogenic variant in the PALB2 gene in an individual in our internal patient population, suggesting it may not be the primary cause of disease. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4531G>A (p.Glu1511Lys) 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 2.9e-05 in 272744 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4531G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ovarian cancer and neuroblastoma (e.g. Lasorsa_2016, Krivokuca_2019) but it was also reported in controls (e.g. Momozawa_2018, Mizukami_2020). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (PALB2, c.2167_2168delAT, internal specimen), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30287823, 30122538, 30651582, 27009842, 32980694). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141630). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.4531G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu1511Lys. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with neuroblastoma or ovarian cancer (Table S7, Lasorsa et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27009842; Table A2, Krivokuca et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30651582). This variant is reported in 0.020% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain and likely benign in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/141630/). This variant occurs within a region of the BRCA2 gene that is predicted to be tolerant to missense variation (Dines et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31911673). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
