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, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthNov 17, 2023This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 5 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in 2 individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer, 1 individual affected with recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer (PMID: 11802209, 15024741, 18489799, 29368341) and has been identified in 13 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). 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:3
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpMay 22, 2023For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51684). This variant is also known as c.462_463del2 or 690delAA. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 10188893, 15024741, 18489799). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp156*) 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). -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpOct 29, 2018Variant summary: BRCA2 c.462_463delAA (p.Asp156X) 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 (e.g. c.470_474delAGTCA (p.Lys157fsX24), c.518delG (p.Gly173fsX12), c.574_575delAT (p.Met192fsX13)). The variant was absent in 246034 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.462_463delAA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (e.g. Lightenberg 1999, Meindl 2002, Machackova 2008). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 13, 2023The c.462_463delAA pathogenic mutation (also known as p.D156*), located in coding exon 4 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 462 to 463. This changes the amino acid from an aspartic acid to a stop codon within coding exon 4. This mutation has been previously reported in multiple individuals with personal or family history of breast/ovarian cancer (Ligtenberg MJ et al. Br. J. Cancer 1999 Mar;79:1475-8); Foretova L et al. Hum. Mutat. 2004 Apr;23:397-8). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 690delAA 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 testingGeneDxDec 15, 2016This deletion of two nucleotides is denoted BRCA2 c.462_463delAA at the cDNA level and p.Asp156Ter (D156X) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is CACA[delAA]GAGA. The deletion creates a nonsense variant, which changes an Aspartic Acid to a premature stop codon. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 c.462_463delAA, previously reported as 690delAA using alternate nomenclature, has been observed in several families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Lightenberg 1999, Meindl 2002, Rebbeck 2016).
