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]

The c.3170_3174del (p.Lys1057Thrfs*8) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been detected in one family from a cohort of cancer patients [PMID 15131399, reported as 3398delAAAAG] and a cohort of patients with prostate cancer [PMID 27433846]. The variant was also reported in 11 patients in the Breast Cancer Information Core database. This 5 bp deletion in exon 11 results in a frameshift and the creation of a premature stop codon. This variant is thus predicted to result in a loss of function of the protein. This variant has been detected in three individuals in the ExAC database (http://exac.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-32911658-CAAAAG-C). This variant thus classified as pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.3170_3174delAGAAA; p.Lys1057ThrfsTer8 variant (rs80359373), also known as 3398del5 in traditional nomenclature, has been reported in several individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (Ellingson 2015, Labidi-Galy 2018, Lubinski 2004, Kang 2015, Sun 2017). The variant is reported as pathogenic by several sources in the ClinVar database (Variation ID: 37826) and is reported in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.001% (3/246888 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting five 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 to be pathogenic. References: Ellingson MS et al.

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3170_3174delAGAAA (p.Lys1057ThrfsX8) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 246888 control chromosomes. c.3170_3174delAGAAA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (eg. Lubinski_2004, Oros_2004, de Juan Jimenez_2013, Ghadirian_2013). 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. 14 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The p.Lys1057ThrfsX8 variant in BRCA2 is considered to be a founder variant in the French Canadian individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (Oros 2006 PMID:16539696, Cavallone 2010 PMID:20694749, Ghadirian 2014 23621881) and has also been reported in affected individuals from other populations (Kang 2015 PMID:25863477, Sun 2017 PMID:28724667). This variant was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1057 and leads to a premature termination codon 8 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 hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as pathogenic on Sep 08, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 37826). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PVS1, PS4, PM2_supporting. -

The c.3170_3174delAGAAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides between positions 3170 and 3174, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K1057Tfs*8). This alteration is a known French Canadian founder mutation (Oros KK et al. BMC Med. Genet. 2006 Mar;7:23; Janavicius R. EPMA J. 2010 Sep;1:397-412) but has also been reported in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer cohorts from various ethnicities (Lubinski J et al. Fam. Cancer. 2004;3:1-10; Ghadirian P et al. Clin. Genet. 2009 Nov;76:421-6; Kang E et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 May;151:157-68; Labidi-Galy SI et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2018 01;24(2):326-333). This alteration was also identified in 1/692 men with metastatic prostate cancer who were unselected for family history of cancer or age at diagnosis (Pritchard CC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2016 Aug;375:443-53) and in a 47-year-old man diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (Andrei AZ et al. Cancer Lett. 2015 Aug;364:8-16). 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. -

The BRCA2 p.Lys1057ThrfsX8 variant was identified in 26 of 11800 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with breast, ovarian, and metastatic prostate cancer (Lubinski 2004 PMID:15131399, Oros 2006 PMID:16539696, Oros 2004 PMID:15382066, Ghadirian 2009 PMID:19863560, Claus 2005 PMID:15728167, Pritchard 2016 PMID:27433846, Kang 2015 PMID:25863477, Belanger 2015 PMID:25884701). The variant was also identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs781096360) as “With Pathogenic allele”, ClinVar (14x as pathogenic by ENIGMA, CIMBA, Counsyl, COGR, Invitae, Ambry, GeneDx, Quest Diagnostics, Color Genomics, SCRP, BIC), Clinvitae (4x as pathogenic by ClinVar, Invitae), LOVD 3.0 (1x, with a pathogenicity prediction as "affects function"), UMD-LSDB (5 x as a causal variant), BIC Database (11x with clinical importance) and ARUP Laboratories (1x, as "5-definitely pathogenic"). The variant was not identified in Cosmic, MutDB and Zhejiang Colon Cancer Databases. The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 8 individuals with breast or ovarian cancer. The p.Lys1057ThrfsX8 variant is described in the literature as a recurrent mutation in French Canadian cohorts, with haplotype analyses suggesting that this may be a founder mutation in this population (Oros 2004 PMID:15382066, Oros 2006 PMID:16539696, Ghadirian 2009 PMID:19863560, Janavicius 2010 PMID:23199084, Belanger 2015 PMID:25884701). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The c.3170_3174del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1057 and leads to a premature stop codon, 8 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 BRCA2 related cancers 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. -
