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]

This variant deletes 4 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 is also known as 6872del4 in the literature. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast, ovarian cancer, or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 9150172, 11179017, 11179017, 11597388, 16683254, 18284688, 21324516, 29084914, 29446198, 29625052, 29922827). This variant has been identified in 1/249524 chromosomes 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 BRCA2 c.6644_6647delACTC; p.Tyr2215fs variant (rs80359616), also known as c.6872del4, is reported in the literature in several individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Caputo 2012, Serova-Sinilnikova 1997, Zhang 2011). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 38060). It is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting four nucleotides, so it is predicted to result in a truncated protein or mRNA subject to nonsense-mediated decay. Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. REFERENCES Caputo S et al.

Variant summary: The variant, BRCA2 c.6644_6647delACTC (p.Tyr2215SerfsX13) 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 (eg. c.6682dupG(p.Val2228fsX5), c.6757_6758delCT(p.Leu2253fsX7)). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 244534 control chromosomes (gnomAD) and has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer (Caputo_2012, Lee_2008, Hu_2018, Zhang_2011). 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. Ten ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr2215Serfs*13) 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 (rs80359616, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 9150172, 16683254, 21120943, 21324516, 22144684). This variant is also known as 6872del4 or 6872delACTC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38060). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Tyr2215fs variant in BRCA2 has been reported in >25 individuals with BRCA2 -associated cancers and segregated with disease in 5 relatives from 2 families ( Serova-Sinilnikova 1997, Caputo 2012, Zhang 2011, Risch 2001, Verhoog 2001, and Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database). It was also absent from large po pulation studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino acid sequence beginning at position 2215 and leads to a prem ature termination codon 13 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predi cted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovar ian cancer (HBOC). In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Sep tember 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000301085 .2). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner. -

The c.6644_6647delACTC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 6644 to 6647, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Y2215Sfs*13). This mutation has been reported in numerous individuals diagnosed with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Serova-Sinilnikova OM et al. Am. J. Hum.

Breast Cancer Res, 2012 Jul;14:R99; Labidi-Galy SI et al. Clin Cancer Res, 2018 01;24:326-333). This mutation has also been reported in multiple individuals with pancreatic cancer (Huang KL et al. Cell, 2018 04;173:355-370.e14; Hu C et al. JAMA, 2018 06;319:2401-2409). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 6872del4 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. -
