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 c.6535_6536insA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an insertion of one nucleotide at position 6535, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V2179Dfs*10). This variant has been identified multiple breast/ovarian cancer families (Palma MD et al. Cancer Res, 2008 Sep;68:7006-14; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). 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. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val2179Aspfs*10) 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 (rs80359601, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer (PMID: 18703817, 27356891, 29371908, 29446198). This variant is also known as 6763insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38050). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This frameshift variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000041 (1/243430 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian cancer (PMID: 34657373 (2022)), bladder cancer (PMID: 29909963 (2018)), and colorectal cancer (PMID: 27356891 (2016)). It has also been reported in world-wide screen of BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers (PMID: 29446198 (2018)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
