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]

Submissions by phenotype

Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthJun 08, 2023This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with asparagine at codon 2242 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 an individual affected with early-onset breast cancer, this individual also carried a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 that could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 18703817). 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 submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 12, 2023The p.D2242N variant (also known as c.6724G>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 6724. The aspartic acid at codon 2242 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 03, 2016Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.6724G>A (p.Asp2242Asn) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 2/3 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO and MutationTaster not captured due to low reliability index). This variant is absent in 121188 control chromosomes. The variant has been reported in a patient in the literature, along with a pathogenic exon 8-9 deletion in BRCA1 (Palma_2008), suggesting the variant of interest is not the causitive mutation in this patient. In addition, one clinical diagnostic lab has classified this variant as uncertain significance. Taken together, this variant is classified as VUS until additional evidence becomes available. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeApr 06, 2023In 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. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 185209). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 18703817). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2242 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp2242Asn). -
