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]

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5290_5291delTC (p.Ser1764LysfsX3) 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 250306 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.5290_5291delTC has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (e.g. Reedy_2002, Lubinski_2004, Jimenez_2013, Cunningham_2014, Li_2018, Rebbeck_2018, Dorling_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Eight other submitters, including an expert panel (ENIGMA), have provided clinical-significance assessments for this variant in ClinVar after 2014, and all of them classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser1764Lysfs*3) 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 (rs80359503, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancers (PMID: 11972384, 23479189, 24504028). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ser1764LysfsX3 variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 5 individuals with breast or ovarian cancer (Reedy 2002, de Juan Jiménez 2013, Cunningham 2014, Song 2014, BIC database). It has also been identified in 1/113118 European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org); however, 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 1764 and leads to a premature termination codon 3 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 syndrome (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Sept 8 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID: 37956). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Moderate. -

The BRCA2, p.Ser1764LysfsX3 variant was identified in 1 of 52 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.02) from individuals or families with ovarian cancer (Reedy 2002). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80359503) as “With Pathogenic allele”, Clinvitae database (classified as pathogenic by ClinVar), ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database (classified as definitely pathogenic), the BIC database (2X with clinical importance), and UMD (1X with a “causal” classification). The c.5290_5291del variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1764 and leads to a premature stop codon 3 codons downstream. 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 of disease in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000088 (1/113118 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in multiple individuals with hereditary breast (PMID: 15131399 (2004), 23479189 (2013), 33471991 (2021)) or ovarian cancer (PMID: 11972384 (2002), 24504028 (2014), 24728189 (2014), 30078507 (2018)).

The c.5290_5291delTC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5290 to 5291, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S1764Kfs*3). This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Kauff ND et al. Cancer 2003; 97:1601-8; Lubinski J et al. Fam. Cancer 2004; 3:1-10; Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2014 Sep;23:4703-9; Yadav S et al. J Clin Oncol, 2020 05;38:1409-1418). 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). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5518delTC 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. -
