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, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	-	The c.5217_5223del (p.Tyr1739X) deletion variant has been previously reported in the literature in one of 386 probands with breast carcinoma (Malone 2000). The variant was also reported 14 times in BIC database as having "clinical importance". Several databases including LOVD and UMD also report different variants at the same codon with the same amino acid consequence. This deletion is predicted to cause a frameshift, which leads to a premature stop codon at position 1739. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories	Apr 01, 2020	The BRCA2 c.5217_5223del; p.Tyr1739Ter variant (rs80359496), also known as 5445del7, is reported in the literature in multiple families affected with breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Malone 2000, Scottish/Northern Irish BRCAI/BRCA2 Consortium 2003). This variant is found on only a single chromosome in the Genome Aggregation Database (1/248722 alleles), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant deletes seven nucleotides and induces an early termination codon, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on the above information, this variant is considered pathogenic. References: Malone KE et al. Frequency of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations in a population-based sample of young breast carcinoma cases.

This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 10717622, 26350514). This variant is also known as 5445del7. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51822). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

BRCA2-related disorder Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego	-	This frameshifting variant in exon 11 of 28 introduces a premature stop codon and is therefore predicted to result in loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in patients with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 10717622, 28888541, 29339979, 30787465, 30720243, 31447099). Loss-of-function variation at the same amino acid residue (p.Tyr1739) has been previously reported in individuals with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer (PMID: 12872265, 26681312, 32341426, 9150154, 11802209). Loss-of-function variation in BRCA2 is an established mechanism of disease (PMID: 20104584, 20301425). The c.5217_5223del (p.Tyr1739Ter) variant is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0004% (1/248722) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.5217_5223del (p.Tyr1739Ter) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences	Feb 01, 2024	The BRCA2 c.5217_5223del7 variant is predicted to result in premature protein termination (p.Tyr1739*).

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jun 13, 2023	This variant deletes 7 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 been observed in at least six individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer and 2 unaffected individuals, and in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 10717622, 11710890, 12698193, 21702907, 22776961, 26350514, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_003626). This variant has been identified in 1/248722 chromosomes 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 15, 2023	The c.5217_5223delTTTAAGT (p.Y1739*) alteration, located in exon 11 (coding exon 10) of the BRCA2 gene, consists of a deletion of 7 nucleotides from position 5217 to 5223. This changes the amino acid from a tyrosine (Y) to a stop codon at amino acid position 1739. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on data from gnomAD, this allele has an overall frequency of <0.001% (1/248722) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.001% (1/112616) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This mutation was reported in a woman affected with breast carcinoma (Malone, 2000) and in another family with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (Lubinski, 2004). In a large, clinic-based BRCA1/2 testing cohort in Norway, this variant was detected in 61 families (Heramb, 2018). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5445del7 in older published literature. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. -
