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:1Benign:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthNov 19, 2019This missense variant replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 3015 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). Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in a multifactorial analysis as benign based on co-occurrence and family history likelihood ratios (PMID: 31131967). This variant has also been reported in individual(s) who underwent BRCA genetic testing (PMID: 29310832). This variant has been identified in 1/250458 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. -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 11, 2022This 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpNov 20, 2023Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9043A>G (p.Lys3015Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the OB3 domain (IPR015188) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250458 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.9043A>G has been reported in the literature as a VUS or Likely benign change in a setting of multigene testing in at least two individuals affected with breast/ovarian cancer (e.g. Apessos_2018, Matta_2022). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Several publications have used a variety of predictive models to classify the variant as part of the CAGI5 (fifth Critical Assessment of Genome Interpretation) ENIGMA Challenge. These models include a prediction protocol that incorporates several assessments of the impact of this variant on splicing and protein function (Padilla_2019), a multifactorial likelihood model which uses clinical data such as co-occurrences and co-segregation to predict pathogenicity (Parsons_2019), as well as a number of predictive models developed by six different teams which use a variety of methods including machine learning which consider structural and functional predictors often in addition to clinical data (Cline_2019). In each of these publications, the variant was given a classification of benign. However, these predictions have yet to confirmed with functional studies, as to our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29310832, 31294896, 36329109, 31112341, 31131967). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. Multiple submitters reported the variant with conflicting assessments (VUS (n=2), benign (n=2)/likely benign (n=3)). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 07, 2015This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.9043A>G at the cDNA level, p.Lys3015Glu (K3015E) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Lysine to a Glutamic Acid (AAA>GAA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 9271A>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Lys3015Glu 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 Lysine and Glutamic Acid differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Lys3015Glu occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the DNA binding domain (Borg 2010). 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 Lys3015Glu is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
