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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.H1525P variant (also known as c.4574A>C), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 4574. The histidine at codon 1525 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was observed in 1/3251 individuals who met eligibility criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). Additionally, this variant was detected in 1/1664 Chinese Hakka patients with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Zhang Y et al. BMC Cancer, 2022 Aug;22:842). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

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

This missense variant replaces histidine with proline at codon 1525 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 32885271). In a large breast cancer case-control meta-analysis conducted by the BRIDGES consortium, this variant was reported in 1/60466 cases and 1/53461 controls (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_008241). This variant has been identified in 3/281922 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1525 of the BRCA2 protein (p.His1525Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs397507336, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 32885271, 34326862, 35918668). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 431191). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

The BRCA2 p.His1525Pro variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the following databases: Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, UMD-LSDB, BIC Database, ARUP Laboratories, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs397507336) as “With Uncertain significance allele”, and in ClinVar (reported 4x, as uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry, Color Genomics, BC Cancer Agency). The variant was identified in control databases in 3 of 276538 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00001 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the East Asian population in 3 of 18862 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), but not in the African, Other, Latino, European Non-Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. The p.His1525Pro residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; 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, HumanSpliceFinder) 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. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
