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.Asn615*) 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51212). This variant is also known as 2070dupT. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20033483). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.1842dupT (p.Asn615X) variant results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA2 protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. This variant is absent in 117182 control chromosomes (ExAC). Multiple publications have cited the variant in affected individuals (e.g., Jimenez_Familial Cancer_2013; Hondow_BMC Cancer_2011). In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Asn615X (c.1842dupT) variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 3 individuals with BRCA2-related cancers (Esteban Cardeñosa 2010, BIC database). Additionally, it was classified as Pathogenic on Apr 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar Variation ID: 51212). This variant was absent from large population studies. The p.Asn615X (c.1842dupT) variant is an insertion of a single nucleotide, creating a premature termination codon at position 57, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting. -

This duplication of one nucleotide is denoted BRCA2 c.1842dupT at the cDNA level and p.Asn615Ter (N615X) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is duplicated in braces, is TAAT[T]AACT. The duplication creates a nonsense variant, which changes an Asparagine to a premature stop codon. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 1842dupT, also denoted BRCA2 2070dupT and 2070insT using alternate nomenclature, has been observed in at least one breast/ovarian cancer family (Esteban Cardeñosa 2010). Based on currently available evidence, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
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 and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20033483, 23479189, 29446198, 30240327, 31090900, 33403015, 33573335). 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.1842dupT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of T at nucleotide position 1842, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N615*). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with personal and/or family history of hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (Esteban Carde&ntilde;osa E et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2010 May;121:257-60; Ruiz A et al. Biomed Res Int 2014 Jun;2014:542541). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 2070dupT 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. -
