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]

Benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingBreast Cancer Information Core (BIC) (BRCA2)-- -
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The p.Lys3408X variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in the BIC database (1X with no clinical importance), dbSNP (ID: rs80358402), and in the ClinVar database (classified as likely benign by GeneDx and Ambry Genetics; classified as benign by BIC; classification not provided by Invitae). The variant was listed in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database in 1 of 65858 chromosomes (frequency: 0.00002) from a population of European (Non-Finnish) individuals; however, this single observation and low frequency is not substantive enough to determine the prevalence of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The variant results in termination of translation at amino acid position 3408 and the loss of the terminal 9 amino acids of the expressed BRCA2 protein. Borg (2010) identified three variants in the BRCA2 gene near the 3’-end which were predicted to result in protein truncation (c.9976A>T (BIC: K3326X), c.10095delCins11 (BIC: 10323delCins11), c.10150C>T (BIC: R3384X), but were “ruled as exceptions that could not be classified because of their location near the 3’-end and possibly dispensable part of the gene”. The p.Lys3408X variant is located even farther downstream than these variants (i.e. closer to the 3’- end of the gene). Stop codon or nonsense mutations in the last exon of a gene may not be subjected to nonsense mediated RNA decay, although further study would be required to validate this hypothesis and it is currently not possible to determine whether or not this might influence the severity of the disorder. Segregation and/or functional studies are recommended to further elucidate the pathogenicity of this variant. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 13, 2023Variant summary: BRCA2 c.10222A>T (p.Lys3408X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein by 10 amino acids and is not expected to undergo NMD. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.6e-05 in 152220 control chromosomes, and was also found in a woman >70 years of age who has never had cancer (FLOSSIES). The BRCA2 c.9976A>T (p.Lys3326*) variant, located upstream of this variant and also in the last exon of the gene, is a known benign variant suggesting that the truncation of the last 93 amino acids of BRCA2 is unlikely to be pathogenic for breast and/or ovarian cancer. c.10222A>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome without evidence for causality. These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
