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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Sep 26, 2023	The BRCA2 c.2214T>A; p.Cys738Ter variant (rs398122742) is reported in the literature in individuals with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Rebbeck 2018). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 91771), and is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Rebbeck TR et al. Mutational spectrum in a worldwide study of 29,700 families with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jan 02, 2024	The p.C738* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.2214T>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 2214. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Sep 03, 2021	This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant has been reported in individuals with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 91771). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys738*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
