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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25186627, 26681312, 30051098). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu809*) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 15728167, 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37786). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2426T>G (p.Leu809X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 245558 control chromosomes. c.2426T>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example: Tung_2014, Susswein_2015, Claus_2005). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 15728167, 25186627, 26681312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37786). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.L809* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2426T>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 2426. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration has been reported in an individual with bilateral breast cancer, in an individual with early-onset breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and in an individual with pancreatic cancer in cohorts referred for clinical testing (Claus EB et al. JAMA. 2005 Feb;293:964-9; Tung N et al. Cancer 2015 Jan;121(1):25-33; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.2426T>G at the cDNA level and p.Leu809Ter (L809X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, changing a Leucine to a premature stop codon (TTA>TGA). This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant, also known as 2654T>G using alternate nomenclature, has been reported in association with breast cancer (Claus 2005). We therefore consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
