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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.41558552).

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Oct 31, 2022	This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with glycine at codon 237 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 individuals with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29161300, 35127508, Color internal data) and in 2 healthy controls (Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_007745; PMID: 33471991). This variant has been reported in a suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family with co-occurrence and family history likelihood ratios of 1.0246 and 0.492, respectively (PMID: 31131967). This variant has not been identified 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	Oct 27, 2023	The p.D237G variant (also known as c.710A>G), located in coding exon 8 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 710. The aspartic acid at codon 237 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in a Brazilian HBOC cohort (Alemar B et al. PLoS ONE, 2017 Nov;12:e0187630). This amino acid position is not well 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. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 237 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp237Gly). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29161300). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 182180). 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. 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. -
