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]

This missense variant replaces aspartic acid with glutamic acid at codon 1618 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 individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 26402875, 27124784, 29176636, 29240602, 33078592). This variant has also been detected in breast, pancreatic and prostate cancer case-controls studies in the Japanese population, in which disease association could not be established (PMID: 30287823, 31214711, 32980694). In a large breast cancer case-control meta-analysis conducted by the BRIDGES consortium, this variant was reported in 9/60466 cases and 2/53461 unaffected controls (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000611). This variant has been identified in 6/249914 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. -

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals/families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 33078592 (2020), 29240602 (2018), 29176636 (2018), 28111427 (2017), 27124784 (2016), 26402875 (2015)), and in healthy controls (PMIDs: 32467295 (2020), 30287823 (2018)). In an individual with breast and ovarian cancer, this variant co-occurred with a deleterious frameshift variant in the BRCA2 gene, suggesting it was not the primary cause of disease (PMID: 26402875 (2015)). This variant has been reported to be located in a region of the BRCA1 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)), and was characterized as being benign in multifactorial/likelihood ratio analysis studies (PMIDs: 31853058 (2020), 30415210 (2018)). However, this variant was also described as a variant of uncertain significance based on ACMG variant classification guidelines (PMID: 33078592 Ha (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00033 (6/18376 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. -

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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4854T>A (p.Asp1618Glu) 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 1.6e-05 in 1613466 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (1.6e-05 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. c.4854T>A has been reported in the literature in sequencing studies originating from Korea and Japan among cases affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer and in control individuals (Park_2016, Momozawa_2018, Choi_2018, Arai_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. At-least one of these reports cites the co-occurrence of this variant among individual(s) with pathogenic BRCA mutations although the co-occurring alteration is not explicitly specified (Choi_2018). This variant is in a region where missense variants are unlikely to be pathogenic (Dines_2020). Consistent with this, one publication reports experimental evidence utilizing HDR assay that the variant showed no damaging effect (Guo_2023). The HDR assay qualifies as a standardized gold-standard assay based on the updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) Working Group (Brnich_2019). ClinGen SVI now recognizes benign functional evidence as sufficient for likely benign (Tavtigian_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29176636, 29240602, 30287823, 27124784, 37731132, 31911673). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51728). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
