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 cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 02, 2019The p.W2725* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8175G>A), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8175. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 17. This alteration was identified in 1/145 Croatian families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Levanat S et al. Gene, 2012 May;498:169-76) as well as in 2/582 Slovenian families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Krajc M et al. Clin. Genet., 2014 Jan;85:59-63). 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. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeFeb 23, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp2725*) 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 cancer (PMID: 22366370, 22923021). This variant is also known as 8403G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52519). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
