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]

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8525G>A (p.Arg2842His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Tower domain (IPR015205) 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 6e-05 in 251110 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00049 within the East Asian subpopulation in the gnomAD database. In addition, this variant was also reported in 3/7325 European American women, who were older than age 70, and have never had cancer (in the FLOSSIES database). The variant, c.8525G>A, has been reported in the literature in individuals breast cancer, however without strong evidence for causality (e.g. Martin_2001, Weber-Mangal_2003, Lee_2008, Ng_2016, Chan_2018) as well as in at least one individual with a positive family history of breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer (Carney_2010). In a recent large study evaluating breast cancer cases and controls in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC), the variant was reported in 10/60466 cases, but was also found in 11/53461 controls (Dorling_2021, reported through LOVD). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (BRCA1 c.2685_2686del, p.Pro897fs (LOVD database); BRCA1 c.2635G>T, p.E879X (Chan_2018)), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Multiple publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and in general demonstrated similar activity to the wild-type, including homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assays (e.g. Guidugli_2018, Ikegami_2020, Brnich_2021, Richardson_2021, Biswas_2023). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 33964450, 21218378, 30093976, 29394989, 32444794, 19043619, 18284688, 11304778, 26757417, 14520696, 33609447, 33471991, 37922907). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52611). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2 p.Arg2842His variant was identified in 5 of 3552 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.001) from individuals or families with breast or ovarian cancer (Chao 2016, Lee 2008, Martin 2001, Ng 2016). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80359105 as With Uncertain significance, other allele), ClinVar (13x as benign or likely benign, reviewed by an expert panel), LOVD 3.0 (17x between benign and inconclusive), UMD-LSDB (1 x as likely neutral), and ARUP Laboratories (as not pathogenic). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB, BIC Database, or Zhejiang University Database. The variant was identified in control databases in 16 of 276812 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00006 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 1 of 24028 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), Latino in 1 of 34416 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), European Non-Finnish in 6 of 126350 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), and East Asian in 8 of 18852 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004); it was not observed in the “Other”, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, and South Asian populations. One study showed homology-directed DNA repair activity by the p.Arg2842His variant (Guidugli 2018) and mathematical models predict that this variant is benign (Easton 2007, Lindor 2012). The p.Arg2842 residue is 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 reliably predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time, although the information currently available suggests a benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
