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 Likely_benign. Variant got -3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.86).
• BP6: Variant 13-32376666-T-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr13-32376666-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 38173.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=3, Likely_benign=4}.

not specified Uncertain:1 Benign:1

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Oct 27, 2015	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 17, 2023	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8633-4T>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251110 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8633-4T>A has been reported in the literature in individuals taking BRCA1/BRCA2 or multiple cancer gene screenings without strong evidence for causality (examples, Lincoln_2015, Caux-Moncoutier_2011). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. 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: 21120943, 26207792). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 (VUS, n=3; Likely benign, n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 05, 2021	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. -

The c.8633-4T>A variant was identified in the literature in at least one proband with hereditary breast or ovarian cancer (Caux-Moncoutier 2011), and was listed once in UMD as an unclassified variant. The variant is located in the 3' splice region of BRCA2 intron 20 but does not affect the highly conserved -1 and -2 positions.  Positions -3 and -5 to -12 are also part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing; however, this variant is located at position -4 which is outside of the splicing consensus sequence and where the nucleotide present may vary. In addition, three in silico or computational prediction software programs (MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. 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 unknown significance. -
