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

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_pathogenic. The variant received 6 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.03461051 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.2, offset of 21, new splice context is: ttgGTaaaa. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 13-32363535-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32363535-T-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 91507.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.8331+2T>A variant in BRCA2 has not been previously reported in individuals with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC) and was absent from large population studies, but has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91507). This variant occurs within the canonical splice site (+/- 1,2) and is predicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant HBOC. In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2.
