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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 02, 2022	This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 13 of the BRCA2 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. RNA studies have shown this variant produces 2 mutant transcripts, both of which cause exon 14 skipping and result in the creation frameshift and of a premature stop signal (PMID: 31191615). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, malignant melanoma, and prostate cancer, (PMID: 26833046, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_005906, Color internal data) and has been identified in 11 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 08, 2024	The c.7008-1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 13 of the BRCA2 gene. This alteration has been reported in several Danish families with histories of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and malignant melanoma (Nielsen HR et al. Fam. Cancer 2016 Oct;15(4):507-12; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in aberrant splicing (Ambry internal data; Fraile-Bethencourt E et al. Front Genet, 2019 May;10:503). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.7008-1G>A variant is predicted to disrupt the AG splice acceptor site and interfere with normal splicing. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, malignant melanoma, and prostate cancer, and considered to be a founder variant in the Danish population (Nielsen et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26833046; Rebbeck et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29446198; Bertelsen et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31263571; von Stedingk et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33674644). RNA studies have confirmed that this variant results in aberrant splicing (Fraile-Bethencourt et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31191615).This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic and pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/188436). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice acceptor site in BRCA2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 13 of the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 26833046, 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188436). Based on a multifactorial likelihood algorithm using genetic, in silico, and/or statistical data, this variant has been determined to have a high probability of being pathogenic (PMID: 31131967). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
