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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 28, 2018This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA2 is denoted c.1029delA at the cDNA level and p.Lys343AsnfsX6 (K343NfsX6) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is GAAAA[delA]TCTA. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Lysine to an Asparagine at codon 343, and creates a premature stop codon at position 6 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 c.1029delA, also known as 1257delA by alternate nomenclature, has been identified in individuals with ovarian cancer and breast cancer (Risch 2001, Meyer 2012, Song 2014, Schrader 2015). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesOct 13, 2023The BRCA2 c.1029del; p.Lys343AsnfsTer6 variant (rs80359260), also known as 1257delA, is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Cunningham 2014, Meyer 2012, Risch 2001, Schrader 2016, Song 2014). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 37724), and is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Cunningham JM et al. Clinical characteristics of ovarian cancer classified by BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51C status.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpApr 18, 2016Variant summary: The variant of interest causes a frameshift mutation resulting in a premature termination codon, a known mechanism for disease, as these types of variants are predicted to cause transcript degradation through nonsense mediated decay or produce a truncated protein. The variant of interest was not observed in controls (1000 Gs, ExAC or ESP) and has been reported in multiple affected individuals via publications. In addition, multiple reputable databases/clinical laboratories cite the variant with a classification of "pathogenic." Therefore, taking all available lines of evidence into consideration, the variant of interest is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 16, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys343Asnfs*6) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 11179017, 21990299, 22666503, 24728189, 26556299). This variant is also known as 1257delA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37724). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 30, 2023The c.1029delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1029, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K343Nfs*6). This mutation has been described in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer patients (Risch HA et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2001 Mar;68:700-10; Meyer P et al. PLoS ONE. 2012;7:e38361; Cunningham JM et al. Sci Rep. 2014 Feb;4:4026). In one case control study, this alteration was detected in 2/2222 individuals with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/1528 matched controls (Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Sep;23:4703-9). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
