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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Phe1866Tyrfs*6) 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 variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This variant is also known as 5823delAT. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37977). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5595_5596delAT (p.Phe1866TyrfsX6) 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 246000 control chromosomes. c.5595_5596delAT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example: Rebbeck_2018). 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. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37977). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.5595_5596delAT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5595 and 5596, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F1866Yfs*6). This deletion was first reported in an HBOC family in the Netherlands (Ligtenberg MJ et al. Br. J. Cancer. 1999 Mar;79:1475-8). It has also been reported in one individual with pancreatic cancer who had no history of tobacco use (Lucas AL et al. Cancer. 2014 Jul;120:1960-7). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5823delAT in the 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. -
