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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys585Asnfs*3) 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 present in population databases (rs80359302, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer and breast, pancreatic, and fallopian tube cancer (PMID: 15131399, 16284991, 19620486, 20616022, 25186627, 26681312). This variant is also known as 1983del5. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37754). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.1755_1759delGAAAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1755 to 1759, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K585Nfs*3). This mutation has been reported in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer families to date (Lubinski J et al. Fam. Cancer. 2004;3:1-10; Watson P et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2009 Aug;27:3894-900; Tung N et al. Cancer. 2015 Jan;121:25-33). This alteration has also been reported in one high risk pancreatic cancer family (Couch FJ et al. Cancer Epidemiol. Biomarkers Prev. 2007 Feb;16:342-6). Of note, this mutation is also designated as 1983del5 in published literature. 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. -

The BRCA2 c.1755_1759delGAAAA (p.Lys585AsnfsTer3) variant, also known as 1983del5 results in a frameshift and is predicted to result in premature termination of the protein. The p.Lys585AsnfsTer3 variant has been reported in at least three studies in which it is found in a heterozygous state in a total of eight patients diagnosed with breast, ovarian/fallopian tube, pancreatic, or other cancers (Lubinski et al. 2004; Pal et al. 2005; Susswein et al. 2016). The p.Lys585AsnfsTer3 variant is reported at a frequency of 0.000009 in the European (non-Finnish) population of the Genome Aggregation Database though this is based on one allele in a region of good sequence coverage so the variant is presumed to be rare. Hall et al. (2016) developed a mouse model of pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma and determined that it was homozygous for the BRCA2 p.Lys585AsnfsTer3 variant. Immunohistochemical staining of tissues from this mouse model revealed that the mutated BRCA2 protein was not localized to the nucleus, but was instead only expressed in the cytoplasm, as compared to normal tissues where BRCA2 was localized to both the nucleus and cytoplasm. This variant has not been reported in the literature in association with Fanconi anemia, and this variant could not be ruled out of causing this disease based on based on the variant frequency, disease prevalence, disease penetrance, and inheritance mode. Due to the potential impact of frameshift variants, the p.Lys585AsnfsTer3 variant is classified as pathogenic for BRCA2-related disorders. -

The c.1755_1759del variant in the BRCA2 gene is located on exon 10 and is predicted to cause shift of reading frame which introduces a premature translation termination codon (p.Lys585Asnfs*3), resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 25186627, 31853058, 26681312). Other protein termination codon variants located in the same exon (p.Gln548*, p.Thr630Asnfs*14) have been interpreted as pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 91754, 51221). Loss-of-function variants in the BRCA2 gene are known to cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 8988179, 11897832, 29446198). This variant has been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic by the expert panel (ID: 37754). The variant is rare (2/1613118 chromosomes) in general population according to gnomAD (v4.1). Therefore, the c.1755_1759del (p.Lys585Asnfs*3) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been classified as pathogenic. -
