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 testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJun 15, 2023The 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJul 15, 2021The 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 21, 2024This 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 27, 2017Variant 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. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 21, 2021The c.4876_4877delAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 4876 and 4877, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N1626Sfs*12). This mutation has been described in multiple families with breast, ovarian, melanoma, and/or prostate cancer (Lubinski J et al. Fam Cancer, 2004;3:1-10; Audeh MW et al.

Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5102delAA, 5104delAA, 4877delAA, c.4876_4877del, and c.4874_4875delAA 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. -
