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.

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMIDs: 10323242 (1999) and 28294317 (2017)), in an individual with prostate cancer (PMID: 32190957 (2020)), and in individuals with suspected breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 29907814 (2018) and 29446198 (2018)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA2 is denoted c.2845delT at the cDNA level and p.Tyr949MetfsX11 (Y949MfsX11) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in braces, is GGTT[T]ATGT. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Tyrosine to a Methionine at codon 949, and creates a premature stop codon at position 11 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 c.2845delT, previously reported as 3073delT, has been observed in at least one woman with a personal and family history of breast cancer (Li 1999). we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2845delT (p.Tyr949MetfsX11) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 250504 control chromosomes. c.2845delT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (e.g., Li_1999, Palmero_2018, Lang_2017). These data indicate that the variant is likely be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant, and all laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was 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.Tyr949Metfs*11) 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 and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 10323242, 29907814). This variant is also known as c.3073delT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51359). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
