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 c.353G>A (p.Arg118His) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 36605468 (2023), 35681111 (2023), 32438681 (2020), 32772980 (2020), 32879886 (2020)) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) (PMID: 31396961 (2020), 12670525 (2003), 11948123 (2002)). This variant has also been identified in reportedly healthy individuals (PMID: 32467295 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/24958 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.353G>A (p.Arg118His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.2e-05 in 1607598 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (2.2e-05 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.353G>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in cohorts of individuals affected with breast/ovarian cancer as well as in settings of esophageal squamous carcinoma (example, Hu_2002, Machakova_2019, Nguyen-Dumont_2020, Santonocito_2020, Ko_2020). In at-least one of these reports, a patient with esophageal squamous carcinoma also harbored a 12bp deletion at codon 174 of the TP53 gene, although the germline or somatic context of this observation was not clearly specified (example, Hu_2002). A loss of the wild-type BRCA2 allele was observed in this patient. These report(s) 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. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 12670525, 11948123, 31396961, 31409081, 32772980, 32438681, 36605468). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37845). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

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. -
