Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PVS1 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.8988_8990delinsTT(p.Leu2996PhefsTer5) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L2996L) 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 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PP5: Variant 13-32379784-ATA-TT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32379784-ATA-TT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 52721.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars.

This frameshift variant causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. In addition, it has been reported in a family affected with breast cancer in the published literature (PMID: 19616529 (2009)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.8988_8990delATAinsTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA2 gene, results from the deletion of 3 nucleotides and insertion of two nucleotides at positions 8988 to 8990, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L2996Ffs*5). This variant has been identified in individuals with a personal and/or family history suspicious for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome, including male patients with breast cancer (Jiménez Ide J et al, Clin. Biochem. 2009 Oct;42:1572-6; Esteban Cardeñosa E et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2010 May;121:257-60; de Juan Jiménez I et al. Fam Cancer, 2013 Dec;12:767-77; de Juan I et al. Fam Cancer, 2015 Dec;14:505-13; Pajares B et al. BMC Cancer, 2018 Jun;18:647). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 9216_9218delATAinsTT in 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. -

This sequence change deletes 3 nucleotides and inserts 2 nucleotides in exon 23 of the BRCA2 mRNA (c.8988_2990delATAinsTT), causing a frameshift at codon 2996. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu2996Phefs*5) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Truncating variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic. This particular truncation has been reported in the literature (PMID: 19616529). This variant is also known as c.9216_9218delATAinsTT in the literature. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
