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 BRCA2 c.4876_4877del (p.Asn1626Serfs*12) variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals affected with ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 11179017 (2001), 36169650 (2022)), breast cancer (PMIDs: 28503720 (2017), 33302456 (2020), 33113089 (2021)), prostate cancer (PMIDs: 27989354 (2017), 29915322 (2018), 30340782 (2019), 32853339 (2021)), renal cell carcinoma (PMID: 35441217 (2022)), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (PMID: 29489754 (2018)), and colorectal cancer (PMID: 34761457 (2022)). It has been reported in individuals with breast cancer as well as in unaffected controls in a breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/249578 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.4876_4877delAA (p.Asn1626Serfs) variant (alternatively also known as 5102delAA) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncated or absent BRCA2 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. p.Val1814X, p.Lys1872X, p.Cys1885X, etc.). This variant is absent in 122720 control chromosomes (including ExAC). This variant has been reported in several HBOC patients in literature and clinical databases. It has also been reported in patients with prostate cancer (Kote-Jarai_2011). In addition, several clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases have classified this variant as pathogenic. Taken together, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn1626Serfs*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 present in population databases (rs80359470, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer (PMID: 11179017, 21952622, 23524863, 24556621, 26787237, 28008555). This variant is also known as c.4874_4875delAA, 4877delAA, 5102delAA, and 5104delAA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37929). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Asn1626SerfsX12 variant in BRCA2 has been reported in >20 individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (Risch 2001 PMID:11179017, Kote-Jarai 2011 PMID:21952622, Gonzalez-Garay 2013 PMID:24082139, Leongamornlert 2014 PMID:24556621, Meric-Bernstam 2016 PMID:26787237, Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database: https://research.nhgri.nih.gov/bic/). This variant has also been identified in 0.003% (2/67992) European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v3.1). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in the general population. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1626 and leads to a premature termination codon 12 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 in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as pathogenic on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variant ID 37929). In summary, the p.Asn1626fs variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PS4, PM2_Supporting, PVS1. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.4876_4877delAA (p.N1626Sfs*12) alteration, located in exon 11 (coding exon 10) of the BRCA2 gene, consists of a deletion of 2 nucleotides from position 4876 to 4877, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon after 12 amino acids. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Alteration conclusion: Based on the available evidence, the BRCA2 c.4876_4877delAA (p.N1626Sfs*12) variant is classified as pathogenic; however, because this variant is identified in one or more patients with Fanconi Anemia it may be hypomorphic and thus, carriers of this variant and their families may present with reduced risks, and not with the typical clinical characteristics of a high-risk pathogenic BRCA2 alteration. As risk estimates are unknown at this time, clinical correlation is advised. Based on data from gnomAD, the c.4876_4877delAA allele has an overall frequency of 0.001% (2/249578) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.002% (2/112998) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This variant has been described in multiple families with breast, ovarian, melanoma, and/or prostate cancer (Lubinski, 2004; Audeh, 2010; Zhang, 2011; Sandhu, 2013; Leongamornlert, 2014; Meric-Bernstam, 2016; Rummel, 2017; Na, 2017; Afghahi, 2017; Pritzlaff, 2017; Mijuskovic, 2018; Gr&ouml;bner, 2018; Zafeiriou, 2019; Lovejoy, 2020; Breast Cancer Association, 2021; Lattimore, 2021). This alteration was identified in at least one individual with features consistent of Fanconi Anemia and a second BRCA2 pathogenic variant (Ambry internal data). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5102delAA, 5104delAA, 4877delAA, c.4876_4877del, and c.4874_4875delAA in published literature. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
