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]

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 252 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals with personal or family history of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21147080, 25136594) and in two unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_007750). This variant has been identified in 2/250900 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.

Observed in individuals with personal or family history of breast and ovarian cancer (de Juan Jimenez 2011, Ruiz 2014); Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Also known as 982G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31131967, 25136594, 21147080)

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/250900 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21147080 (2011), 25136594 (2014)), as well as in an unaffected individual (PMID: 33471991 (2021)). 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 benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

The p.D252N variant (also known as c.754G>A), located in coding exon 8 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 754. The aspartic acid at codon 252 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species, and asparagine is the reference amino acid in other vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 252 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp252Asn). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21147080, 25136594). This variant is also known as c.982 G>A p.D252N. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 142771). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
