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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20609468, 21203900, 27062684, 29446198, 31409081). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1408dupG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of G at nucleotide position 1408, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E470Gfs*6). This alteration has been detected in numerous hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer families (Konecny M et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2011; 126 (1):119-30; Azzollini J et al. Eur. J. Intern. Med., 2016 Jul;32:65-71; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620; Machackova E et al. Klin Onkol, 2019;32:51-71). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This frameshifting variant in exon 10 of 28 introduces a premature stop codon and is therefore predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This is a known Pathogenic variant that has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in individuals with BRCA2-related cancers in large cohort studies (PMID: 27062684, 29446198, 31209999, 31409081). Loss-of-function variation in BRCA2 is an established mechanism of disease (PMID: 20104584). The c.1408dup (p.Glu470GlyfsTer6) variant is absent from the gnomAD population database and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.1408dup (p.Glu470GlyfsTer6) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu470Glyfs*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 a personal and/or family history of breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 21203900, 27062684, 29446198). This variant is also known as c.1408insG and c.1408dup. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125945). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
