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 frameshift c.6082_6086del (p.Glu2028LysfsTer19) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been reported previously in heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer (Bergthorsson, J T et al., 2001). This variant is reported with the allele frequency (0.0003%) in the gnomAD Exomes and novel in 1000 Genomes. It is submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic (multiple submissions). This variant causes a frameshift starting at codon 2028 where Glutamic acid changes to Lysine residue, and creates a premature Stop codon at position 19 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Glu2028LysfsTer19. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. Loss of function variants have been previously reported to be disease causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.6082_6086del (p.Glu2028Lysfs*19) 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 affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMIDs: 32380732 (2020), 30720863 (2019), 26541979 (2016), 26681312 (2015), 11389159 (2001)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/250972 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is consistent with pathogenicity. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

The c.6082_6086delGAAGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides between positions 6082 and 6086, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2028Kfs*19). This mutation has been reported in multiple high risk breast or ovarian cancer patients, including a male breast cancer patient (Bergthorsson JT et al. J Med Genet. 2001 Jun;38(6):361-8; Golmard L et al. Oncogene. 2016 Mar 10;35(10):1324-7; Hasmad HN et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2016 May;141(2):318-22; Petersen AH et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2016 Aug;24(8):1104-11; Roed Nielsen H et al. Acta Oncol. 2016;55(1):38-44; Wen WX et al. J. Med. Genet. 2018 Feb;55(2):97-103). Of note, this mutation is also designated as 6310del5 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. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Glu2028LysfsX19 variant was identified in 1 of 238 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.004) from Danish individuals or families with breast cancer, and was not identified in 360 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Bergthorsson 2001); note, this study only looked at the tumours of affected individuals. The variant was also identified in dbSNP “With Pathogenic allele”, HGMD, LOVD, the BIC database (1X with clinical importance), and UMD (4X as a causal variant). The variant was classified as pathogenic by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project (SCRP) (submitted within the ClinVar database and derived from Myriad reports). The Glu2028LysfsX19 deletion variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 2028 and leads to a premature stop codon 19 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 and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -
