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 submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Sep 30, 2019	The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Apr 18, 2018	This deletion of four nucleotides in BRCA2 is denoted c.2653_2656delGACA at the cDNA level and p.Asp885MetfsX9 (D885MfsX9) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is CTCA[delGACA]ATGA. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 2881_2884delGACA. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes an Aspartic Acid to a Methionine at codon 885, and creates a premature stop codon at position 9 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.2653_2656delGACA has been observed in at least two individuals referred for hereditary cancer testing (Lecarpentier 2012). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Sep 29, 2020	This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 11 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. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/228720 chromosomes 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	May 16, 2023	The c.2653_2656delGACA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides between positions 2653 and 2656, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D885Mfs*9). This alteration was observed in two families from a French cohort; however, no information is available regarding cancer history (Lecarpentier J et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012 Jul;14(4):R99). 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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome

Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Oct 12, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp885Metfs*9) 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 (rs760792406, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast cancer (PMID: 22762150). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51322). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Asp885MetfsX9 deletion has been previously reported in the UMD (2X) and BIC databases as clinically important. It is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 885 and leads to a premature stop codon 9 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism and is the type of variant expected to cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this deletion is classified as pathogenic. -
