Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1 PM2 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.2812_2815del(p.Ala938ProfsTer21) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q937Q) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32337163-ACAAG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32337163-ACAAG-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 51352.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32337163-ACAAG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr13-32337163-ACAAG-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

The c.2812_2815delGCAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2812 to 2815, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.A938Pfs*21). This mutation has been reported in a woman with early-onset breast cancer and in a man with breast cancer (Purnomosari D et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2007 Dec;106:297-304; Roed Nielsen H et al. Acta Oncol. 2016 Sep;55:38-44). Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.3040_3043delGCAA, c.3040_3043del4 and c.2812delGCAA 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. -
