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 sequence change replaces Glycine for Arginine at codon 2793 of the BRCA2 protein. The glycine residue is highly conserved in a functional domain of the protein and there is a big physiochemical difference between glycine and arginine. This variant has been observed in 4 families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and functions suggest that this variant is likely to be detrimental to protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change results in homology-directed repair activity comparable to known pathogenic mutations. -

The p.G2793R pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8377G>A), located in coding exon 18 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8377. The glycine at codon 2793 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This alteration is located in the DNA binding domain (DBD) of BRCA2 and was classified as pathogenic (p ≥ 0.999) by a highly sensitive and specific model based on in vivo homology-directed repair (HDR) activity (Guidugli L et al. Cancer Res. 2013 Jan 1;73(1):265-75l; Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2018 Jan;). In addition, this alteration was predicted to be likely deleterious based on a computational method that produces a probabilistic likelihood ratio predictive of whether a missense variant impairs protein function (Karchin R et al. Cancer Inform. 2008 Apr;6:203-16). This alteration has been detected in multiple hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) families (Ruiz-Flores P et al. Hum Mutat. 2002 Dec;20(6):474-5; Weitzel JN et al. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, 2005 Jul;14:1666-71; Weitzel J et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2013 Jan;31(2):210-6; El Saghir NS et al. Oncologist, 2015 Apr;20:357-64; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620; Fernández-Lopez JC et al. Hum Genomics, 2019 01;13:3; Zayas-Villanueva OA et al. BMC Cancer, 2019 Jul;19:722). 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 available evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

This missense variant replaces glycine with arginine at codon 2793 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 this variant to impact BRCA2 function in homology-mediated repair assay and in the rescue of Brca2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 23108138, 29394989, 33293522, 33609447, 35736817). This variant has been detected in at least five individuals affected with high-risk breast cancer (PMID: 12442275, 25777348, 31331294; Color internal data) and in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 16030099, 23233716). This variant has been identified in 2/251416 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2793 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Gly2793Arg). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs80359082, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 12442275, 15889636, 16030099, 23233716, 25777348). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is also known as c.8605G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52569). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 23108138). Studies have shown that this missense change results in skipping of exon 19, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8377G>A (p.Gly2793Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB1 domain (IPR015187) of the encoded protein sequence. Five 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 251552 control chromosomes. c.8377G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018, Calderon-Garciduenas_2005, Ruiz-Flores_2002, Weitzel_2013, ElSaghir_2015). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function. The most pronounced variant effect results in impaired HDR (homology directed repair) activity (example, Guidugli_2013). Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic (n=7)/likely pathogenic(n=2). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.8377G>A variant in the BRCA2 gene is located on the exon 19 and replaces glycine with arginine at codon 2793 (p.Gly2793Arg). This variant is located in the critical DNA binding domain of the BRCA2 protein (amino acids 2481-3186). This variant has been identified in multiple individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 31853058, 25777348, 30630528, 12442275). Experimental homology directed repair (HDR) activity assays have proved the negative functional impact of this variant (PMID: 23108138, 33293522, 33609447). An alternative variant disrupting the same amino acid (p.Gly2793Glu) has been interpreted as likely pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 38157). This variant has been reported in ClinVar and classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic by multiple submitters (ID: 52569). The variant is rare in general population according to gnomAD v4.1 (2/1613808 chromosomes). Computational prediction algorithms suggest a deleterious impact for this variant (REVEL score 0.92). Therefore, the c.8377G>A (p.Gly2793Arg) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been classified as pathogenic. -
