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 BRCA2 p.Leu557* variant was identified in 5 of 42916 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0001) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (Rebbeck 2018, Sermijn 2004, Susswein 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358452) as "With Pathogenic allele", ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx and eight other submitters), COGR, LOVD 3.0 (8x as pathogenic), UMD-LSDB (1x as causal), BIC Database (2x with clinical importance), and in ARUP Laboratories ( definitely pathogenic), databases. In UMD the variant was identified with a co-occurring pathogenic BRCA1 variant (c.514delC (p.Gln172AsnfsX62)).The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, or Zhejiang University Database. The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Leu557*variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 557 which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in BRCA2 associated cancers and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.1670T>G; p.Leu557Ter variant (rs80358452), also known as 1898T>G for traditional nomenclature, is reported in the literature in association with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Sermijn 2004), and is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 51170). This variant is absent from the general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant induces an early termination codon and is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Sermijn E et al.

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.1670T>G (p.Leu557X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251220 control chromosomes. c.1670T>G has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (eg. Sermijn_2004, DeBrakeleer_2007, Susswein_2016, Santonocito_2020). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine 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 pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu557*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312). This variant is also known as 1898T>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51170). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.L557* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1670T>G), located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 1670. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 9. This pathogenic mutation has been reported in multiple HBOC families (Sermijn E et al. J. Med. Genet. 2004 Mar;41(3):e23; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat. 2018 05;39:593-620) and in a breast cancer patient who also had a VHL mutation (Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18(8):823-32). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 1898T>G in some published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
