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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jul 17, 2023	This missense variant replaces threonine with alanine at codon 2968 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 at least one individual each affected with breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer (PMID: 26976419, 29659569, 32850417; Color internal data). This variant also has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 1/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001114). This variant has been identified in 3/281158 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 09, 2022	The p.T2968A variant (also known as c.8902A>G), located in coding exon 21 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 8902. The threonine at codon 2968 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been reported in a cohort of 488 patients with stages I to III breast cancer who were tested with a 25-gene panel test (Tung N et al. J. Clin. Oncol., 2016 May;34:1460-8). In addition, this variant was identified as a germline alteration in 1/135 ovarian cancer patients screened for BRCA1/2 (Peixoto A et al. Front Oncol. 2020 Jul;10:1318). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Jan 13, 2022	The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000011 (3/281158 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 26976419 (2016)), prostate cancer (PMID: 29659569 (2018)), and ovarian cancer (PMID: 32850417 (2020)). In a large breast cancer association study, this variant was reported in individuals affected with breast cancer as well as unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991 (2021)). 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8902A>G (p.Thr2968Ala) 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 249760 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8902A>G has been identified in individuals with lung cancer (e.g. Heeke_2020), ovarian cancer (Peixoto_2020) and in settings of multigene panel testing among individuals with breast cancer (e.g., Tung_2015) and prostate cancer (e.g., Paulo_2018). 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16683254, 25348012, 26976419, 29659569, 32377563, 32850417, 32066459). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141798). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2968 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Thr2968Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs587782021, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with BRCA2-related conditions (PMID: 26976419, 32850417). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 141798). 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. -
