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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 21, 2020	The c.2899_2900delCT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 2899 to 2900, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L967Rfs*14). This alteration has been reported in an individual with Fanconi anemia, who carried another pathogenic BRCA2 alteration (Myers K et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2012; 58:462-5). In one case control study, this alteration was detected in 1/2222 individuals with invasive epithelial ovarian cancer and 0/1528 matched controls. (Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2014 Sep;23:4703-9) and in an individual diagnosed with breast cancer from Mexico (Millan Catalan O et al. Cancers (Basel), 2019 Aug;11:). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). 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	Jan 15, 2020	This variant deletes 2 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 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. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 30, 2019	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2899_2900delCT (p.Leu967ArgfsX14) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant was absent in 248436 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2899_2900delCT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Caux-Moncoutier_2011, Cunningham_2014, Song_2014, Rebbeck_2018). The variant has also been reported in at least one individual with Fanconi anemia (Myers_2012, Degrolard-Courcet_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four submitters, including one expert panel (ENIGMA) have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014, and all of them classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jul 12, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu967Argfs*14) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer and Fanconi anemia (PMID: 21120943, 21548014, 24504028). This variant is also known as 966_966del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125998). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
