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]

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 05, 2022For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51929). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and family history of breast cancer and increased risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21318380, 29446198). This variant is present in population databases (rs760373350, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.His1918Glnfs*5) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 23, 2015The p.His1918fs variant in BRCA2 has been reported in 1 European individual with breast cancer (Hansen 2011). This variant has also been identified in 1/66606 of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs397507803). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1918 and leads to a premature termination codon 5 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of BRCA2 function an established disease mechanism in BRCA2-associated cancers. In summary, the p.His1918fs variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for BRCA2-associated cancers in autosomal dominant manner (http://www.partners.org/personalizedmedicince/LMM) based upon its predicted impact to the protein and low frequency in controls. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthMay 14, 2020This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 11 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. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 1/250898 chromosomes 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. -
