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]

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/248242 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast cancer (PMIDs: 15026808 (2004), 31853058 (2020), 35753294 (2022)) and prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711 (2020)). The variant has also been reported in healthy individuals (PMIDs: 30287823 (2018), 30630528 (2019), 31214711 (2020), 33471991 (2021)). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 448 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 one suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 15026808) and in a prostate cancer case-control study in 2/7636 cases and 3/12366 unaffected individuals (PMID: 31214711). This variant also has been reported in breast and pancreatic cancer case-control studies in which this variant was detected only in unaffected individuals and was absent in cancer cases (PMID: 30287823, 32980694, 33471991). This variant has been identified in 1/248242 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. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This missense variant replaces arginine with histidine at codon 448 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. The variant has been reported in two individuals with personal and/or family history of BRCA-related cancer (PMID: 15026808, 35753294). This variant also has been detected in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis in 0/60466 cases and 1/53461 unaffected individuals (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001845), and in a breast cancer case-control study in 3/11241 female and 3/12490 male unaffected individuals and absent in 7051 female breast cancer cases (PMID: 30287823). This variant has been identified in 1/248242 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1343G>A (p.Arg448His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 295704 control chromosomes (gnomAD and publication). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.1343G>A has been reported in the literature in a family affected with breast cancer (Claes_2004). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Another study (Momozawa_2018) did not detect the variant in any of the breast cancer patients analyzed but detected it at a frequency of 0.00013 in controls who were 60 years old or over and did not have past history nor family history of cancers. A co-occurrence with a pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA1 c.2934T>G, p.Tyr978X; BIC database), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as uncertain significance (n=3) and once as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
