Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.8195T>A​(p.Leu2732Ter) variant causes a stop gained change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L2732L) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32363397-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32363397-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 267059.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32363397-T-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The BRCA2 p.Leu2732X variant was identified in 1 of 240 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from Brazilian individuals or families with HBOC (Silva 2014). The variant was also identified in a case report of 4 Italian double heterozygotes who developed breast carcinomas, the variant co-occurring with a pathogenic BRCA1 variant (945delC, p.H279fsX) in 1 case (Zuradelli 2010). The variant was identified in ClinVar (pathogenic, reviewed by an expert panel (2016); submitter ENIGMA), and was not identified in dbSNP, Clinvitae, Cosmic, MutDB, LOVD 3.0, UMD-LSDB, BIC Database, ARUP Laboratories, Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database, the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project or the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016) control databases. The p.Leu2732X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 2732, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The p.L2732* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8195T>A), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 8195. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 17. This variant was also observed in 1/3251 individuals who met eligibility criteria for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lerner-Ellis J et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol, 2021 Mar;147:871-879). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -
