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 glutamine with arginine at codon 3034 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with fallopian tube or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12618335, 30606148). This variant has been identified in 3/249328 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. -

The p.Q3034R variant (also known as c.9101A>G), located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 9101. The glutamine at codon 3034 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in individuals diagnosed with fallopian tube and/or ovarian cancer (Baudi F et al. Cancer Lett. 2003 Mar; 191(2):211-4; Casarsa S et al. Oncol. Rep. 2004 Aug; 12(2):313-6; Cotrim D et al. BMC Cancer 2019 Jan;19(1):4). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

This missense variant replaces glutamine with arginine at codon 3034 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. A functional study has reported that this variant does not impact BRCA2 function in a haploid cell proliferation assay (PMID: 39779857). This variant has been reported in one individual each affected with ovarian cancer and fallopian tube cancer (PMID: 12618335, 30606148). Multifactorial analyses have reported likelihood ratios (LR) for pathogenicity reaching a combined LR of 1.58 (PMID: 31131967, 31853058). This variant has been identified in 3/249328 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9101A>G (p.Gln3034Arg) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB2 domain (IPR048262) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 249328 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.9101A>G has been reported in the literature in at-least two individuals affected with fallopian tube cancer (Baudi_2003), breast cancer (Andries_2023) and ovarian cancer (Cotrim_2019) respectively. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported although a computational method has reported this variant with a neutral probabilistic likelihood ratio prediction (Karchin_2008). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36775216, 12618335, 30606148, 19043619). Four submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=3) and likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Also known as 9329A>G; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30606148, 28726806, 22632462, 12618335, 19043619, 19818148, 18546620, 25569433, 15254695, 29884841, 32377563, 31853058, 31131967, 12228710, 36775216) -

Malignant tumor of breast Uncertain:1

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Gln3034Arg variant has been previously reported in the literature in one individual with Fallopian tube cancer and absent from 100 population controls (Baudi 2003). Two records of this variant were identified in the BIC database with a classification of "unknown clinical significance". In addition, it has also been identified once by our laboratory in an individual with breast or ovarian cancer, increasing the likelihood that this variant may have clinical significance. The variant is reported from a "Clinical Source" in the dbSNP database with no frequency information (ID#:rs80359164), and so the frequency in the general population is not known. The p.Gln3034 variant is conserved in mammals but not in lower vertebrates. In fact, chicken has the variant amino acid Arginine (Arg) at this position, increasing the likelihood that this variant does not have clinical significance. In addition, computational analyses (SIFT, AlignGVGD) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein. One study, developed a likelihood ratio model based on protein sequence, conservation and structure and determined the variant to be neutral, however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity (Karchin 2008). In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance. -
