Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points: 0P and 20B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBS1BS2

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.6347A>G​(p.His2116Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000737 in 1,609,496 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 9 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/19 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H2116D) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). No publications were found based on this search. Allele frequency data from public databases allowed determination this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign. -

The p.His2116Arg variant has been reported in the literature in 13/19710 proband chromosomes of individuals with breast cancer and prostate cancer; it was not detected in the 122 control chromosomes tested (Berg_2012_22995991, Borg_2010_20104584, Carvalho_2007_17308087, Caux-Moncoutier_2011_21120943, Haffty_2006_15983021, Johnston_2012_22703879, Kote-Jarai_2011_21952622, Lee_2008_18284688, Tazzite_2012_22425665), however, an insufficient number of controls were included in these studies to determine the frequency of this variant in the general population. It has also been reported in the HGMD, BIC(x88 as not clinically important), Exome Variant Server and BOCs databases. It is listed in dbSNP database as coming from a "clinical source" (ID#: rs55953736) with a global minor allele frequency (MAF) of 0.002 (1000 Genomes) and was also identified by the EVS project as a low frequency variant. This residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen, SIFT, AlignGVGD) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein and this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. It was identified 18x in the UMD database, 6x as co-occuring with a second pathogenic variant, increasing the likelihood this variant does not have clinical significance. Furthermore, Myriad genetics classifies this variant as a polymorphism (personal communication). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as benign. -
