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]

A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. However, the evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was not sufficient to rule this variant in or out of causing disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 30, 2023This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 2236 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with prostate, breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID 21952622, 24504028, 25948282, 32606146, 33471991). In a large breast cancer case-control meta analysis conducted by the BRIDGES consortium, this variant was reported in 8/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected controls (OR=3.537 (95%CI 0.751 to 16.657); p-value=0.116; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001033 (PMID: 33471991)). This variant has also been identified in 9/251308 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:3Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 01, 2023The p.E2236K variant (also known as c.6706G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 6706. The glutamic acid at codon 2236 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in several European cohorts of breast, ovarian and prostate cancer patients (Kote-Jarai Z et al. Br. J. Cancer, 2011 Oct;105:1230-4; Moghadasi S et al. J. Med. Genet., 2013 Feb;50:74-9; Kluska A et al. BMC Med Genomics, 2015 May;8:19; Cunningham JM et al. Sci Rep, 2014 Feb;4:4026). This alteration was detected in trans with a pathogenic BRCA2 mutation in an individual who did not have a personal or family history that is consistent with or suggestive of Fanconi Anemia (Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 22, 2023Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6706G>A (p.Glu2236Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 251308 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.6706G>A has been reported in the literature in settings of multigene panel testing among individuals affected with a variety of cancers such as breast and/or ovarian and prostate cancers (example, Jones_2014, Cunningham_2014, Kluska_2015, Lincoln_2015, Moghadasi_2013, Kote-Jarai_2011, Holeckova_2020). These data do not allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24504028, 32606146, 25233892, 25948282, 21952622, 26207792, 23231788, 18724707). Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and a predominant consensus as VUS (n=7) (Likely benign, n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This variant has been reported in individuals with prostate cancer (Kote-Jarai et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21952622; Holeckova et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32606146) and breast or ovarian cancer (Cunningham et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24504028; Kluska et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25948282). It is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/52165/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
