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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32340419-TCAGAC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32340419-TCAGAC-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 51999.Status of the report is reviewed_by_expert_panel, 3 stars. Variant chr13-32340419-TCAGAC-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of five nucleotides is denoted BRCA2 c.6068_6072delACCAG at the cDNA level and p.Asp2023AlafsX24 (D2023AfsX24) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in brackets, is TCAG[delACCAG]CTCA. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes an Aspartic Acid to an Alanine at codon 2023, and creates a premature stop codon at position 24 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 c.6068_6072delACCAG has been observed in individuals with breast cancer (female and male)(Susswein 2016, Pritzlaff 2017). We consider it to be pathogenic. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 5 nucleotides in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The c.6068_6072delACCAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 6068 to 6072, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This alteration has been identified in a male breast cancer patient (Pritzlaff M et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2017 02;161:575-586). 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: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asp2023Alafs*24) 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 breast cancer (PMID: 26681312, 28008555). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51999). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
