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 glutamic acid with lysine at codon 2847 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 conflicting findings on variant protein function in homology-directed repair assay from loss-of-function to intermediate activities (PMID: 29394989, 29884841). Further, this variant increased sensitivity to PARP inhibitors and decreased cell viability in mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 37922907). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with uterine corpus endometrial carcinoma (PMID: 26689913) and also detected in an individual age 70 years or older without cancer in the FLOSSIES database (https://whi.color.com/variant/13-32945144-G-A). This variant has been identified in 2/251154 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 benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8539G>A (p.Glu2847Lys) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the Tower domain (IPR015205) that is essential for appropriate binding of BRCA2 to DNA. 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 251154 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8539G>A has been reported in the literature (possibly as a somatic variant), in individuals affected with endometrial cancer and pancreatic cancer (Lu_2015, Pishaian_2017). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. The variant has been reported in two functional studies to have intermediate HDR activity (Guidugli_2018, Hart_2019). Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Five submitters classified the variant as VUS while one classified as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2847 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Glu2847Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359108, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 26689913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52616). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on BRCA2 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA2 function (PMID: 37922907). 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. -
