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.5585_5588del (p.Val1862Glufs*11) 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 with breast cancer (PMID: 25186627 (2015)) and prostate cancer (PMID: 27433846 (2016)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.5585_5588del; p.Val1862fs variant (rs80359523) has been described in individuals affected with breast and prostate cancer (Pritchard 2016, Tung 2015). It is reported as pathogenic by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 51885) and is absent from general population databases (1000 Genomes Project, Exome Variant Server, and Genome Aggregation Database), indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting 4 nucleotides, so is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered pathogenic. REFERENCES Pritchard C et al. Inherited DNA-Repair Gene Mutations in Men with Metastatic Prostate Cancer.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val1862Glufs*11) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 25186627, 27433846). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51885). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5585_5588delTGAA (p.Val1862GlufsX11) 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. The variant was absent in 245466 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.5585_5588delTGAA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example: Tung_2014, Rebbeck_2018) and also in an individual with prostate cancer (Pritchard_2016). In addition, BIC database reports 5 individuals with this variant (NHGRI BIC). These data indicate that the variant may be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014), including an expert panel (ENIGMA) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.5585_5588delTGAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5585 to 5588, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V1862Efs*11). This alteration has been reported in an individual diagnosed with breast cancer (Tung N et al. Cancer 2015 Jan;121:25-33) and was also identified in 1/692 men with metastatic prostate cancer who were unselected for family history of cancer or age at diagnosis (Pritchard CC et al. N. Engl. J. Med. 2016 Aug;375:443-53). 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. -
