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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R672G variant (also known as c.2014A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2014. The arginine at codon 672 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This variant was detected in 1/2351 individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12:). This alteration has also been detected in a cohort of 381 unselected individuals diagnosed with endometrial cancer (Ring KL et al. Mod. Pathol., 2016 11;29:1381-1389). This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000012 (3/248450 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 32438681 (2020) and 33471991 (2021)), as well as individuals with endometrial cancer (PMID: 27443514 (2016)). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.2014A>G at the cDNA level, p.Arg672Gly (R672G) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Glycine (AGA>GGA). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Arg672Gly was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Arginine and Glycine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Arg672Gly occurs at a position that is variable across mammals and is located in the Interaction with NPM1 region (UniProt). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Arg672Gly is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2014A>G (p.Arg672Gly) 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 1.2e-05 in 248450 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2014A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with endometrial and/or breast cancer undergoing multigene panel testing (example, Ring_2016, Santonocito_2020). 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. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with conflicting assessments (VUS, n=2; likely benign, n=1). Some submitters cite overlapping evidence utilized in the context of this evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 672 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Arg672Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs587781647, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer, and endometrial cancer (PMID: 27443514, 32438681). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141308). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -
