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 has been previously described in an individual with prostate cancer and epithelial ovarian cancer (PMID: 27433846, 24504028). Therefore, we consider this variant to be pathogenic.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 06, 2017This deletion of four nucleotides in BRCA2 is denoted c.4472_4475delTGAA at the cDNA level and p.Leu1491GlnfsX12 (L1491QfsX12) at the protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 4700delTGAA or 4700del4. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is ATAC[delTGAA]AGAA. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Leucine to a Glutamine at codon 1491, and creates a premature stop codon at position 12 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 4472_4475delTGAA has been observed in association with ovarian and prostate cancer (Song 2014, Pritchard 2016). We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoOct 16, 2020This frameshift variant causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. In addition, it has been reported in individuals affected with ovarian and prostate cancer in the published literature (PMIDs: 24504028 (2014), 24728189 (2014), and 27433846 (2016)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. Therefore, the variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 14, 2022The c.4472_4475delTGAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 4472 to 4475, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L1491Qfs*12). This alteration has been reported in multiple cohorts of individuals diagnosed with breast, ovarian and prostate cancer (Cunningham JM et al. Sci Rep. 2014 Feb;4:4026; Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Sep;23(17):4703-9; Pritchard CC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2016 Aug;375:443-53; Yadav S et al. J Clin Oncol, 2020 05;38:1409-1418). 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). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 1491_1492del in published literature. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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 submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthJan 15, 2020This 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 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 submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpFeb 07, 2021Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4472_4475delTGAA (p.Leu1491GlnfsX12) 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 was absent in 253484 control chromosomes. c.4472_4475delTGAA has been 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), LabcorpJan 31, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1491Glnfs*12) 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 ovarian cancer (PMID: 24504028, 24728189). This variant is also known as 4700del4. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37906). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
