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 testingInvitaeJan 26, 2024This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys1872Asnfs*2) 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 (rs763069721, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 15533909, 20104584, 24742220, 25428789, 26681312, 28008555). This variant is also known as 5844del5. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51892). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 17, 2021Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5616_5620delAGTAA (p.Lys1872AsnfsX2) 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 247384 control chromosomes. c.5616_5620delAGTAA has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Borg_2010, Caux-Moncoutier_2011, Hernandez_2014, Pal_2004, Pal_2016, etc.). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. 13 clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This variant has also been identified in 0.005% (2/41432) of African/African American chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v3.1.2). 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 1872 and leads to a premature termination codon 2 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism for HBOC. Additionally, this variant was classified as pathogenic on Sep 08, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 51892). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PS4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PVS1. -

This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 36329109 (2022), 32318955 (2020), 32866190 (2020), 30128899 (2018), 28528518 (2017), 28724667 (2017), 26681312 (2015), 25428789 (2015), 24742220 (2014), 20104584 (2010), 15533909 (2004)) and male breast cancer (PMID: 28008555 (2017)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/247384 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity.
