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 variant has been reported with another pathogenic BRCA2 variant in trans (on a different chromosome) in an individual affected with Fanconi Anemia (PMIDs: 11430722 (2001) and 20608899 (2010)). In addition, this variant was reported to have a damaging effect on homology-directed repair in a peer-reviewed experimental study (PMID: 29394989 (2018)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. Variant is predicted to have a damaging effect on the protein and is located in a potentially critical domain of the protein. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.7964A>G; p.Gln2655Arg variant (rs80359024) is reported in the literature in an individual affected with Fanconi anemia confirmed to carry another pathogenic BRCA2 variant in trans (Bodd 2010). The p.Gln2655Arg variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (BayesDel: 0.248; REVEL: 0.784). However, functional analysis of the variant protein suggests significantly reduced homology-directed repair activity similar to other pathogenic variants (Guidigli 2018). Based on available information, the p.Gln2655Arg variant is considered to be likely pathogenic. References: Bodd TL et al.

This missense variant replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 2655 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). A functional study reported that this variant impacts BRCA2 function in a homology-mediated repair assay (PMID: 29394989). This variant has been detected in two individuals affected with breast cancer and absent in 53461 unaffected individuals in a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000247). This variant also has been found in trans with a pathogenic truncation variant in BRCA2 in an individual diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 20608899). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

The p.Q2655R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7964A>G), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 7964. The glutamine at codon 2655 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in trans with a BRCA2 pathogenic nonsense mutation in an archived medulloblastoma sample from a deceased girl with Fanconi Anemia (Ruud E et al. Acta Paediatr. 2001 May;90:580-3; Bodd TL et al. Acta Paediatr. 2010 Nov;99:1741-3). This alteration is also defective in a homology directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2018 02;102(2):233-248). Based on internal structural analysis this alteration is likely to disrupt DSS1 binding and is predicted to be as destabilizing to the local structure as other known pathogenic variants (Yang H et al. Science 2002 Sep;297:1837-48; Ambry internal data). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. However, because this variant is identified in one or more patients with Fanconi Anemia it may be hypomorphic and thus, carriers of this variant and their families may present with reduced risks, and not with the typical clinical characteristics of a high-risk pathogenic BRCA2 alteration. As risk estimates are unknown at this time, clinical correlation is advised. -

The c.7964A>G variant in the BRCA2 gene is located in exon 17, and replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 2655 (p.Gln2655Arg) in the BRCA2 protein. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 33471991) and in an individual affected with Fanconi Anemia (PMID: 20608899). Experimental studies have shown that this variant has a deleterious effect in a homology directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (PMID: 29394989, 29884841). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ID: 52450). This variant is absent in the general population according to gnomAD. In silico prediction algorithms suggest that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function. Therefore, the c.7964A>G (p.Gln2655Arg) variant in the BRCA2 gene is classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2655 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Gln2655Arg). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 20608899). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed to co-occur in individuals with a different variant in BRCA2 that has been determined to be pathogenic (internal data), but the significance of this finding is unclear. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52450). An algorithm developed specifically for the BRCA2 gene suggests that this missense change is likely to be deleterious (internal data). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 29394989, 29884841). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7964A>G (p.Gln2655Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, helical domain (Integrated: IPR015252) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 251260 control chromosomes. c.7964A>G has been reported in the literature as a biallelic compound heterozygous genotype in at-least one individual affected with Fanconi Anemia (example, Bodd_2010 cited in Miele_2015). At least two publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in loss of homology directed repair (HDR) of normal activity (example, Guidugli_2018, Hart_2019). HDR assays qualify as a recognized gold standard on the basis of updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) working group. This working group has recommended strong functional evidence (ACMG PS3) as sufficient weightage for categorization as likely pathogenic (Tavtigian_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20608899, 29394989, 29884841, 19043619, 34687993, 26064523, 36721989). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52450). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive Fanconi Anemia and autosomal dominant Breast Cancer susceptibility. -
