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.5621_5624delTTAA (p.Ile1874ArgfsX34) 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 247614 control chromosomes.The variant, c.5621_5624delTTAA, has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Serova_1997, Santarosa_1999, Tai_2007, Watson_2009, Litton_2011, Alemar_2017, Palmer_2020, Wang_2018 etc.). 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. Nine 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. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.5621_5624delTTAA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5621 to 5624, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.I1874Rfs*34). This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Serova OM et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 1997 Mar;60:486-95; Santarosa M et al. Int. J. Cancer. 1999 Sep;83:5-9; Bonadona V et al. Genes Chromosomes Cancer 2005 Aug;43:404-13; Litton JK et al. Cancer. 2012 Jan;118:321-5). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 5849del4-ter1907 and 5849del4 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. -

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Ile1874ArgfsX34 deletion variant has been reported in the literature 1 of 62 proband chromosomes in a family with hereditary breast cancer (Serova_1997_9042907). This variant was also identified 3 times in the UMD database as a causal variant and 16 times in the BIC database as having clinical importance. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1874 and leads to a premature stop codon 34 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 families and is the type of variant that is expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
