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]

The BRCA2 p.Gln548Gln variant was identified in the literature in one Chinese family with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Thirthagiri 2008); however, control chromosomes from healthy individuals were not evaluated in this study. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs rs55986646) â€šÃ„ÃºWith likely benign alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹, in the 1000 Genomes Project, in 1 of 5000 chromosomes (frequency 0.0002). It was also identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (January 13, 2015) in 28 of 121014 chromosomes (frequency: 0.0002) (or 28 individuals from a population of 8644 East Asian individuals (frequency: 0.003)), and not from European (Non-Finnish)/African/Latino/South Asian/European (Finnish) or other individuals; the Clinvitae database classified the variant as benign/likely benign; ClinVar (4X, classified as a benign by BIC and GeneDX; likely benign by Ambry Genetics), and UMD (2X as a 3-unclassified variant variant, co-occurring with a pathogenic BRCA2 variant (c.1212delT (p.Asn404LysfsX26), increasing the likelihood that the p.Gln548Gln variant does not have clinical significance). The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 3 individuals with breast, and ovarian cancer including one with a co-occurring pathogenic variant (BRCA2 c.246delA), increasing the likelihood the p.Gln548Gln variant does not have clinical significance. The p.Gln548Gln variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. However, four out of five in-silico splicing tools predict abolishment of a 3â€šÃ„Ã´ splice site in a region not expected to be involved in splicing, but this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratories criteria to be classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1644G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00024 in 274202 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0034 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within East Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 5 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer phenotype (0.00075), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of East Asian origin. c.1644G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals with personal and/or family history of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Hwang_2017, Trujillano_2015, Thirthagiri_2008, Suter_2004). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrences with a pathogenic variant have been reported (BRCA2 c.1212delT, p.Asn404Lysfs*26; UMD), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters including an expert panel (ENIGMA) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
