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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys157Valfs*25) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This variant is also known as 697delAA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51698). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.469_470delAA (p.Lys157ValfsX25) 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 251040 control chromosomes. c.469_470delAA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters 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 variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 5 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and 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 with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer (PMID: 19949876, 20104584, 21553119, 27084275, 29339979, 29446198, 29566657; DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1757060). 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. -

The c.469_470delAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 4 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 469 to 470, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K157Vfs*25). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals and families with a history of breast, ovarian, and/or prostate cancer (Borg A et al. Hum. Mutat. 2010 Mar; 31(3):E1200-40. Adem C et al. Cancer 2003 Jan; 97(1):1-11; van Harssel JJ et al. Fam. Cancer 2010 Jun; 9(2):193-201; Nielsen HR et al. Fam. Cancer 2016 Feb; Hart SN et al. BMJ Open 2016; 6(4):e010332). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 697delAA in the published literature. 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.469_470del (p.Lys157Valfs*25) variant in the BRCA2 gene is located on the exon 5 and is predicted to result in a frameshift that introduces a premature translation termination codon, resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in individuals with breast/ovarian/prostate cancer (PMID: 27084275, 21553119, 20104584, 32566972). The other protein termination codon variants located in the same exon (p.Gln147*, p.Ser158*) have been interpreted as pathogenic by the expert panel (ClinVar ID: 51641, 266829). Loss-of-function variants in the BRCA2 gene are known to cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 8988179, 11897832, 29446198). This variant has been reported as pathogenic by the expert panel in ClinVar (ID: 51698). The variant is rare (3/1609132 chromosomes) in the general population according to gnomAD. Therefore, the c.469_470del (p.Lys157Valfs*25) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been classified as pathogenic. -
