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]

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4779A>C (p.Glu1593Asp) 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 0.00037 in 250646 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.003 within the South Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within South Asian control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 4 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome phenotype (0.00075), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of South Asian origin. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (BRCA1 c.66_67delAG, p.Leu22_Glu23LeuValfs), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (BIC database). Nine submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified as Benign/likely benign (n=8) and VUS (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Glu1593Asp variant was identified in 5 of 222 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.023) from individuals with breast or ovarian cancer and was absent in 88 control chromosomes from these studies (Soumittra 2009, Saxena 2002). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358703) “With allele of Uncertain significance”, LOVD, and the BIC database (3X with unknown clinical importance). This residue is conserved in mammals but not lower organisms, and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. In addition, Myriad classifies this variant as a polymorphism (personal communication). In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
