Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2
This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2596 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Gly2596Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs398122591, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 21520333, 30613976). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91492). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 29394989, 29884841, 33293522). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). This variant disrupts the p.Gly2596 amino acid residue in BRCA2. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 34597585). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7786G>A (p.Gly2596Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein, helical domain (IPR015252) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251378 control chromosomes. c.7786G>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in at-least one individual affected with male breast cancer (Rizzolo_2019). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Multiple publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in loss of normal homology directed repair (HDR) activity and a non-functional impact using a well-established mouse embryonic stem cell based assay (example, Biswas_2020, Guidugli_2018). Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (VUS, n=6). At-least one submitter reports a likely pathogenic classiciation using overlapping functional evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.7786G>A (p.Gly2596Arg) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30254663 (2018)), including one male individual with breast cancer (PMID: 30613976 (2019)). Experimental studies show this variant is damaging to homology directed repair (HDR) (PMIDs: 33609447 (2021), 29884841 (2019), 29394989 (2018)), and results in reduced cell survival and drug sensitivity in mouse embryonic cells (PMID: 33293522 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251378 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Also known as 8014G>A; Published functional studies demonstrate impaired homology directed repair activity (Guidugli 2018, Hart 2018); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29394989, 30254663, 29884841) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1Uncertain:1
The p.G2596R variant (also known as c.7786G>A), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7786. The glycine at codon 2596 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. Three separate homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assays have demonstrated p.G2596R is non-functional (Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2018 02;102:233-248; Hart SN et al. Genet. Med., 2019 01;21:71-80; Richardson ME et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2021 Mar;108:458-468). Another alteration at the same codon, p.G2596E (c.7787G>A), has been described as having low functionality in a HDR assay (Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2018 02;102:233-248). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
