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 glycine at codon 2611 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have reported that this variant impacts BRCA2 function in homology-mediated DNA repair assays (PMID: 23108138, 29394989), impacts cell viability in Brca2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 33293522), increases sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents (PMID: 32444794), and was non-functional in a haploidized cell proliferation assay (PMID: 35190686). This variant has been reported in an individual with a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16030099). This variant has been identified in 1/251200 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. -

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: flagged submission

Collection Method: literature only

Data used in classification The frequency of this variant is 1/123,000 individuals (the GNOMAD population). (PM2-mod). This variant is predicted deleterious on AlignGVGD (class: C65), SIFT (Deleterious), Polyphen2 HumVar (probably damaging) and CADD (27.1) (PP3-sup). The variant is in the DNA-binding domain of BRCA2 (PM1-sup). In the BRCA2 Homology-Directed Repair Activity assay for the DNA Binding Domain (Guidugli et al Cancer Res 2013;73:265-275,Couch Lab), which is perfectly validated against genetic epidemiologic data generated by ENIGMA, the variant has a probability of pathogenicity of 1.0 In the VarCall Bayesian statistical model for VUS classification using functional assay data (Guidugli et al Am J Hum Genet 2018; 102:233-248, Couch Lab), the variant has a probability of being deleterious of 0.879 and an overall classification of intermediate. (PS3-strong). Data not used in classification There are additional reports of this variant in ClinVar (5), BIC (1) and BRCA2 LOVD (2). -

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 2611 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp2611Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359010, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with a personal or family history of breast cancer (PMID: 16030099). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52424). An algorithm developed specifically for the BRCA2 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be tolerated (PMID: 19043619). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 23108138, 29394989, 29884841, 33293522). Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (internal data). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Functional studies have reported that this variant impacts BRCA2 function in homology-mediated DNA repair assays (PMID: 23108138, 29394989), impacts cell viability in Brca2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 33293522), increases sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents (PMID: 32444794), and was non-functional in a haploidized cell proliferation assay (PMID: 35190686).

A multifactorial analysis has reported a likelihood ratio for pathogenicity based on personal and family history of 0.245 from log(LR)=-0.610794902 for three carriers (PMID: 31853058). This variant has been identified in 1/251200 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. -

The p.D2611G variant (also known as c.7832A>G), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 7832. The aspartic acid at codon 2611 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. In one study, this alteration was identified in 1/110 Hispanic patients with personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Weitzel JN et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev., 2005 Jul;14:1666-71). This variant was found to be non-functional in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Hart SN et al. Genet. Med., 2019 01;21:71-80), while another HDR assay demonstrated p.D2611G to have intermediate functionality, with a probability of pathogenicity of 0.995 and a probability of neutrality of 0.005 (Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2018 02;102:233-248). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
