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, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The BRCA2 p.Cys1200X variant was identified by De Leon Matsuda (2002) in one individual with breast cancer and in one control subject with a “suspicious breast mass” which was interpreted as fibrocystic disease, though a biopsy was not taken from the control subject. The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80359391), HGMD, and UMD (3X as a causal variant). The p.Cys1200X variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 1200, which is predicted to lead to 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys1200*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and Fanconi anemia (PMID: 24504028, 16683254, 25863477, 15645491, 24728189). This variant is also known as 3827delGT in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51493) with 16 submissions, all pathogenic, 3 stars, no conflict, and reviewed by an expert panel. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). Therefore, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 07, 2021Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3599_3600delGT (p.Cys1200X) 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 1.6e-05 in 254218 control chromosomes. c.3599_3600delGT has been widely reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). 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. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 22, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys1200*) 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 (rs80359391, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and Fanconi anemia (PMID: 15645491, 16683254, 24504028, 24728189, 25863477). This variant is also known as 3827delGT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51493). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineOct 14, 2019The p.Cys1200X variant in BRCA2 (resulting from c.3599_3600delGT) has been reported in at least 13 individuals with BRCA2-related cancers (De Leon Matsuda 2002, Cunningham 2014, Susswein 2016, Hirasawa 2017, Momozawa 2018, BIC database). It has also been identified in 1/18394 East Asian chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org); however, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in the general population. This frameshift variant is predicted to lead to a premature termination codon at position 1200. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Apr 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID: 51493). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Moderate. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 19, 2022The c.3599_3600delGT pathogenic mutation (also known as p.C1200*), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at positions 3599 to 3600. This changes the amino acid from a cysteine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer (De Leon Matsuda ML et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2002 Apr;98:596-603; Hamann U et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2003 Jun;11:464-7; Cunningham JM et al. Sci. Rep. 2014 Feb;4:4026; Kang E et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2015 May;151:157-68; Hirasawa A et al. Oncotarget. 2017 Dec;8:112258-112267; Kwon BS et al. Cancer Res Treat. 2018 Oct; Lovejoy LA et al. Austin J Cancer Clin Res. 2018 Jun; 5(1):1082; Bhaskaran SP et al. Int J Cancer. 2019 Jan). This mutation has also been reported in a child with biallelic BRCA2 related Fanconi Anemia who was diagnosed with leukemia by the age of 2 years (Meyer S et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer. 2005 Apr;42:404-15). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 3827delGT 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. -
