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 variant is reported as pathogenic by numerous sources in ClinVar (Variation ID: 9322) and is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting four nucleotides, 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 pathogenic. References: Caputo S et al.

This variant has also been identified in one male with prostate cancer and 5 males with breast cancer (Edwards 2010 PMID: 20736950, de Juan 2015 PMID: 26026974). Furthermore, this variant was identified in 2/113374 of European chromosomes by tby gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant was classified as Pathogenic on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved Evidence-based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) expert panel (Variation ID 9322). The p.Ala938ProfsX21 variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 938 and leads to a premature termination codon 21 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism for HBOC. In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS4, PM2. - |

This mutation has been identified in multiple families with breast, ovarian, prostate, and other cancers (Diez O et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003 Oct;22:301-12; Edwards SM et al. Br. J. Cancer. 2010 Sep;103:918-24; Zhang S et al. Gynecol. Oncol. 2011 May;121:353-7; Torres D et al. Sci. Rep. 2017 Jul;7:4713; Alemar B et al. PLoS One, 2017 Nov;12:e0187630; Isaacsson Velho P et al. Prostate. 2018 Apr;78:401-407; Bertelsen B et al. NPJ Genom Med, 2019 Jun;4:13; Moradian MM et al. Hum Genome Var, 2021 Feb;8:9; Solano AR et al. Cancers (Basel), 2021 May;13) and has been reported as a Norwegian founder mutation (Heramb C et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2018 Jan;16:3). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 3036del4 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. - |

| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health | Dec 11, 2023 | 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. This variant is also known as c.2806_2809del, 3034del4 and 3036del4 in the literature. This variant has been reported as a recurrent mutation worldwide in over 100 individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 8665505, 11030418, 11158174, 12955716, 15024741, 21324516, 22006311, 21598239, 22970155, 23469205, 25476495, 26026974, 27257965, 28680148, 28692638, 29339979, 30287823) and a breast cancer case-control meta-analysis has reported this variant in 29/60437 cases and 6/53455 unaffected individuals (OR=4.275, 95%CI 1.775 to 10.298) (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001211). This variant also has been reported in individuals affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 20736950, 29368341). This variant has been identified in 2/250852 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. - |

BRCA2-related disorder Pathogenic:2
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Feb 16, 2024 | The BRCA2 c.2808_2811delACAA variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Ala938Profs*21). This variant has been repeatedly reported in patients and families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (see for example, Wooster et al. 1995. PubMed ID: 8524414; de Juan et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26026974; Alemar et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29161300; Heramb et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29339979) as well as patients with prostate cancer (Edwards et al. 2010. PubMed ID: 20736950; Kote-Jarai et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21952622). In ClinVar, it is reported as pathogenic by several laboratories, including the ENIGMA expert panel (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/9322). This variant is reported in 0.0018% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. Frameshift variants in BRCA2 are expected to be pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is interpreted as pathogenic. - |
| Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | DASA | Mar 05, 2022 | The c.2808_2811del;p.(Ala938Profs*21) is a null frameshift variant (NMD) in the BRCA2 gene and predicts alteration of the nonsense-mediate decay - NMD is present in a relevant exon to the transcript - PVS1. The variant was observed to have arisen de novo (paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history (PMID:11158174) - PS2. This sequence change has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (ClinVar ID: 9322; PMID: 21324516; 28680148; 26026974; 20104584) - PS4. This variant is not present in population databases (rs80359351- gnomAD; ABraOM no frequency - http://abraom.ib.usp.br/) - PM2. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. - |

Malignant tumor of breast Pathogenic:1
| Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System | - | The BRCA2 p.Ala938Profs*21 variant was identified in 14 of 7122 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with breast, ovarian and prostate cancers, although it was not investigated in controls (Edwards 2010, Caux-Moncoutier 2011, Zhang 2011, van der Hout 2006). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80359351) "With Pathogenic allele", ClinVar (classified pathogenic and reviewed by an expert panel 2016, submitters: Invitae, Counsyl, Ambry Genetics, GeneDx and 29 other submitters), and UMD-LSDB (123X, classified as 5-causal). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.2808_2811del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 938 and leads to a premature stop codon 21 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. - |
