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

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.1409A>C at the cDNA level, p.Glu470Ala (E470A) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to an Alanine (GAA>GCA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 1637A>C. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Glu470Ala was not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Glutamic Acid and Alanine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Glu470Ala is not located in a known functional domain. In-silico analyses, including protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, support that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Glu470Ala is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

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. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with alanine at codon 470 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 not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/247704 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1409A>C (p.Glu470Ala) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 247704 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1409A>C in individuals affected with affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) classified this variant as VUS (5x) and benign (1x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 470 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Glu470Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs750341436, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with uterine cancer (PMID: 30374176). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 233895). 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. -

Significance: Benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: research

The BRCA2 variant designated as NM_000059.3(BRCA2):c.1409A>C (p.Glu470Ala) is classified as benign. Computer software programs predict that this variant is likely to be tolerated, adding supporting evidence that this variant is benign. This variant is found in exon 10, in a domain where non-truncating mutations are usually benign. Co-segregation analysis of one observed family was performed using analyze.myvariant.org (Rañola et al, 2018, PMID:28965303) and demonstrates that this allele has a likelihood ratio of pathogenicity of 0.0004 to 1 (Thompson et al, 2003, PMID:2900794), providing additional evidence that this variant is less likely to cause cancer. Bayesian analysis integrating all of this data (Tavtigian et al, 2018, Tavtigian et al, 2018, PMID:29300386) gives less than 1% probability of pathogenicity, which is consistent with a classification of benign. This variant is not predicted to alter BRCA2 function or modify cancer risk. This analysis was performed in conjunction with the family studies project as part of the University of Washington Find My Variant Study. -
