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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 13, 2016	The c.5364dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 5364, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 2020	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene is denoted c.5364_5365insC (aka.c.5364dupC) at the cDNA level or p.Lys1789GlnfsX18 (K1789QfsX18) at the protein level according to current HGVS nomenclature guidelines. The normal sequence with the bases that are duplicated in braces is: TTTC{C}AAAG. The c.5364_5365insC variant in the BRCA2 gene causes a frameshift starting with a Lysine residue at codon 1789, changes this amino acid to a Glutamine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 18 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, its presence is consistent with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome. Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition that predisposes to breast and ovarian cancer as well as other cancers. The predominant BRCA2-related cancer risks for women who have not been diagnosed with cancer have been estimated as 41% - 84% lifetime risk for breast cancer and 11% -27% lifetime risk for ovarian cancer (Ford 1998, Risch 2006). BRCA2 variants have also been reported in women with fallopian tube carcinoma, primary peritoneal carcinoma, and uterine serous carcinoma (Levine 2003, Biron-Shental 2006). Women with BRCA1/2 variants also have an increased risk for contralateral breast cancer. Women with BRCA variants whose first cancer was diagnosed under age 40 have a 21-31% risk to develop a second breast cancer within 10 years and a 63% risk to develop a second breast cancer within 25 years. Women with BRCA variants whose first cancer was diagnosed between ages 40 and 50 have an 11-13% risk to develop a second breast cancer within 10 years and a 44-49% risk within 25 years. Women with BRCA variants whose first cancer was diagnosed after age 50 have an 8% risk to develop a second breast cancer within 10 years and a 20% risk within 25 years (Graeser 2009). Other cancer risks associated with a BRCA2 variant include up to a 7% risk for pancreatic cancer (Ozcelik 1997, The Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium 1999), up to a 34% risk for prostate cancer in male carriers (Thompson 2001), and up to a 7% risk for male breast cancer (Liede 2004). Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that can be caused by two variants (one affecting each allele) in the BRCA2 genes. This condition is characterized by an increased risk for malignancy in children including leukemia and certain solid tumors as well as physical abnormalities and bone marrow failure. If a BRCA2 variant carrier’s partner is also heterozygous for a BRCA2 variant, the risk to have a child with FA is 25% with each pregnancy.The variant is found in BRCA1-BRCA2 panel(s). -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1789Glnfs*18) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with metastatic prostate cancer (PMID: 27433846). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 89049). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
