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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8824G>A at the cDNA level, p.Ala2942Thr (A2942T) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Alanine to a Threonine (GCT>ACT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 9052G>A. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Ala2942Thr was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). This variant is located in the DNA binding domain (Yang 2002). In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Ala2942Thr is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 2942 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with endometrial carcinoma in the literature (PMID: 26689913). This variant has been identified in 1/250826 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.8824G>A; p.Ala2942Thr variant (rs80359139) is reported with uncertain significance in ClinVar (Variation ID: 52687). This variant is only observed in one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The alanine at codon 2942 is highly conserved, but a protein likelihood algorithm specifically designed for BRCA2 missense variants, suggests this variant is tolerated (Karchin 2008). However, given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. REFERENCES Karchin R et al.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2942 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ala2942Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359139, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 26689913). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52687). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
