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]

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4759G>A (p.Ala1587Thr) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250734 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4759G>A, has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Pancreatic Cancer (Grant_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=4) and likely benign (n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.4759G>A at the cDNA level, p.Ala1587Thr (A1587T) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Threonine (GCT>ACT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 4987G>A. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Ala1587Thr was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Alanine and Threonine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Ala1587Thr occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located within a region required for POLH DNA synthesis stimulation and for interaction with POLH and RAD51 (Roy 2012, UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Ala1587Thr is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1587 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ala1587Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs56137239, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25479140). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 186987). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function. 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. -
