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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 22, 2022Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6953G>A (p.Arg2318Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250152 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.6953G>A has been reported in the literature as a VUS in individuals affected with/undergoing testing for breast and/or ovarian cancer (example, Chenevix-Trench_2018, Hondow_2011, Kote-Jarai_2011, Alsop_2012). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Multifactorial probability models have reported a neutral outcome (Lindor_2012). Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported in various databases and in the literature (BRCA2 c.2330dup, p.Asp777fs; BRCA1 c.2071delA, p.Arg691fs), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and a predominant consensus as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA2 p.Arg2318Gln variant was identified in 5 of 12202 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.0004) from individuals or families with breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancer and was not identified in 360 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Alsop_2012, Kote-Jarai_2011, Couch_2015, Dos Santos Vidal_2016, Grant_2015, Chenevix-Trench_2006). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs80358921) as “With other allele”, ClinVar and Clinvitae (6x as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, COGR, Invitae, SCRP and as uncertain significance by GeneDx, BIC), LOVD 3.0 (5x), UMD-LSDB (5 entries as uncertain significance and in one case the p.Arg2318Gln variant has been reported as co-occurring with a pathogenic variant of BRCA2 gene (c.2330dup, p.Asp777GlnfsX11), BIC Database (4x), ARUP Laboratories (1x as “class 2-likely not pathogenic or of little clinical significance”). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 2 of 244730 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000008 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: Latino in 1 of 33426 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), European Non-Finnish in 1 of 111204 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009); but not observed in the African, Other, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. A functional study showed decreased cell survival and a higher rate of apoptosis in response to cisplatin as compared to wild-type (Warren_2011). The p.Arg2318 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
