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]

This 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9997_9998delCT (p.Leu3333PhefsX4) results in a premature termination codon in the last exon of the protein, predicted to cause the truncation of the C-terminal end of the protein that does not belong to any known functional domain. This variant is located downstream of a well-known polymorphism c.9976A>T (p.Lys3326X), that results in a truncated protein, suggesting that the region of the BRCA2 gene beyond codon 3326 is not crucial for proper function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.4e-05 in 31408 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.9997_9998delCT has been reported in the literature in an individual affected with medulloblastoma (Waszak 2018). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been observed at our laboratory (BRCA1 c.5324T>G, p.Met1775Arg), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, with classifications ranging from VUS (n=2) to likely benign (n=1). The variant was identified in an internal sample in an unaffected individual undergoing genetic screening because of positive family history (mother, sister, maternal great aunt, all diagnosed with early onset Breath Cancer; brother diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma at age of 37). However, testing information on the family members to rule in or rule out co-segregation with disease was not available. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as a VUS-possibly benign. -
