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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Sep 11, 2024	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3218A>G (p.Gln1073Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 6.6e-05 in 242708 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00014 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (6.6e-05 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.3218A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, urothelial cancer and uterine cancer (Zhu_2020, Alsop_2012, Lu_2012, Maier_2014, Rodriguez-Vida_2014, Lu_2015), without strong evidence for causality. In addition, this variant has been reported insignificantly present in both case and control cohorts in a large case-control study of breast cancer (4/60466 cases vs 3/53461 controls, Dorling_2021). Functional studies show that this variant alters the BRCA2-APRIN interaction independently of the BRC1-RAD51 interaction but was able to partially rescue homologous recombination in BRCA2-deficient cells to about 65% of normal function (Brough_2012). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22711857, 22293751, 33471991, 22476429, 26689913, 25111659, 26497743, 31265121). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37828). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

The BRCA2 c.3218A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln1073Arg. This variant has been reported in individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer and prostate cancer (Alsop et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22711857; Lu et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22476429; Maier et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25111659; Lu at al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26689913, Supplementary Data 12). A functional study showed that this variant alters the normal BRCA2 protein function (Brough et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22293751). This variant occurs within a region of the BRCA2 gene that is predicted to be tolerant to missense variation (Table 2, Dines et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31911673). This variant is reported in 0.013% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations regarding its pathogenicity in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/37828/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

The BRCA2 p.Gln1073Arg variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358566) as â€šÃ„Ãºotherâ€šÃ„Ã¹, Clinvitae database (classified as likely benign by ClinVar; uncertain significance by ClinVar and Invitae), the ClinVar database (classified as likely benign by SCRP, GeneDx; uncertain significance by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, BIC), the BIC database (3x with unknown clinical importance). This variant was also identified in the Exome Aggregation Consortium database (August 8th 2016) in 6 of 119496 chromosomes (freq. 0.00005) in the European population in 6 of 65970 chromosomes (freq.0.0001), but was not seen in African, Asian, Finnish, Latino and Other populations. The variant was not identified in the Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database, COSMIC and GeneInsight-COGR databases. The p.Gln1073 residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 3 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict the loss of a cryptic 3â€šÃ„Ã´ splice site. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In addition, the variant was identified, in a sample used as a positive control, as co-occurring with a pathogenic variant in BRCA1 (c.5136G>A, p.Trp1712X), increasing the likelihood this variant does not have clinical significance (Mucaki 2016). In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
