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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 22, 2022The p.Q1509H variant (also known as c.4527A>C), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 4527. The glutamine at codon 1509 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submittercurationUniversity of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of WashingtonMar 23, 2023Missense variant in a coldspot region where missense variants are very unlikely to be pathogenic (PMID:31911673). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJun 07, 2023This missense variant replaces glutamine with histidine at codon 1509 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 an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_008227). This variant has been identified in 2/250290 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. -
not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoDec 19, 2022The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00016 (4/24832 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In a large-scale breast cancer association study, the variant was observed in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJun 28, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; Also known as 4755A>C; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32377563, 31911673, 29884841, 31853058) -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 02, 2019Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4527A>C (p.Gln1509His) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250290 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00012 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.4527A>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 20, 2024This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1509 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Gln1509His). 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220561). 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 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. -
