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 missense variant replaces methionine with valine at codon 927 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). Functional studies using a homology-mediated DNA repair assay that examines low-frequency spontaneous repair events and a yeast DNA repair assay have both shown this variant protein to be repair proficient (PMID: 21671020, 23328489). This variant has been reported in families and individuals affected with breast/ovarian cancer (PMID: 21671020, 23635950, 35402282). This variant has been reported in a multifactorial analysis as likely benign based in part to segregation and family history likelihood ratios (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. -

The p.M927V variant (also known as c.2779A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2779. The methionine at codon 927 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. Two functional studies have used homologous recombination (HR) based assays to show that this alteration increases the rate of HR comparable to wild-type BRCA2 and is therefore likely non-pathogenic (Balia C et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2011 Oct;129(3):1001-9; Spugnesi L et al. Mutagenesis. 2013 Mar;28(2):187-95). Balia et al also noted that the tumor from the individual with this alteration did not show loss of heterozygosity, and while the data was not shown, the authors mentioned that this variant did not segregate with disease in the family. This alteration has also been reported in two individuals from the same Serbian family, both with breast cancer (Dobricic J et al. J Hum Genet. 2013 Aug;58(8):501-7). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 3007A>G in published literature. 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. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2779A>G (p.Met927Val) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, consistent with its location in a coldspot region where missense variants are very unlikely to be pathogenic (PMID:31911673). The variant was absent in 250872 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2779A>G has been reported in the literature as not co-segregating with disease in at-least one family affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) (example, Balia_2011) and in at-least two individuals from high risk families using an in-silico tool (Polyphen) as the basis of causality (Dobricic_2013). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (Balia_2011). These results showed no damaging effect of this variant on BRCA2 DNA repair activity in a yeast based experimental system. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21671020, 23635950, 24323938, 35472165, 23328489, 31911673, 31131967). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 184978). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The BRCA2 c.2779A>G (p.Met927Val) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 37415649 (2023), 35402282 (2022), 21671020 (2011)), 23635950 (2013)), and childhood leukemia (PMID: 31721781 (2019)). Functional studies indicate this variant has neutral effects on BRCA2 protein function (24323938 (2014), 23328489 (2013), 21671020 (2011)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). 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. -
