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 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32336325-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32336325-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 37771.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32336325-T-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.1970T>A at the cDNA level and p.Leu657Ter (L657X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Leucine to a premature stop codon (TTG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is considered pathogenic. -

The p.L657* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1970T>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1970. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration was identified in a cohort of African American early-onset prostate cancer patients (Beebe-Dimmer JL et al. Prostate. 2018 04;78:321-326). 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. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37771). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu657*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is present in population databases (rs397507279, gnomAD 0.01%). -
