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]

The p.D1709A variant (also known as c.5126A>C), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 5126. The aspartic acid at codon 1709 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12:; Abdel-Razeq H et al. Front Oncol, 2022 Mar;12:673094). 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with alanine at codon 1709 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in three individuals affected with breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer (PMID: 32438681, 35402282, 37842866) and in one unaffected individual (PMID: 35944511). This variant has been identified in 1/226644 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. -

The BRCA2 c.5126A>C (p.Asp1709Ala) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 35402282 (2022), 32438681 (2020)). Additionally, this variant has been reported to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000044 (1/226644 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. -

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with alanine at codon 1709 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 32438681). This variant has been identified in 1/226644 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. -
