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]

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:6
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 17, 2021Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5213_5216delCTTA (p.Thr1738IlefsX2) 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 4e-06 in 251212 control chromosomes. c.5213_5216delCTTA 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. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) 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 testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineJun 19, 2020The p.Thr1738IlefsX2 variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 50 individuals with BRCA2-related cancer (first reported in: van der Hout 2006 PMID: 16683254). It has also been identified in 1/112458 European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant was classified as pathogenic on 09/08/16 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 37951). This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1738 and leads to a premature termination codon 2 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Two other variants, c.5212dup and c.5213del, both resulting in the same amino acid change have been identified in individuals with HBOC and are classified as pathogenic in ClinVar. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS1, PM2, PS4. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 07, 2021The c.5213_5216delCTTA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5213 to 5216, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T1738Ifs*2). This alteration has been identified in individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Novakovi S et al. Int. J. Oncol. 2012 Nov;41:1619-27; Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Sep;23:4703-9; Tea MK et al. Maturitas. 2014 Jan;77:68-72; Francies FZ et al. BMC Cancer. 2015 Nov;15:912; Sun J et al. Clin. Cancer Res., 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119; Wen WX et al. J Med Genet, 2018 02;55:97-103). 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). 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. -
