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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

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. -
