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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Mar 22, 2021	This variant deletes 2 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. To our knowledge, this variant has been reported in an individual with suspected hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (PMID: 26915939). 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 24, 2021	The c.6761_6762delTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 6761 to 6762, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.F2254Yfs*6). This variant has been reported in several individuals and/or families with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer syndrome (Seymour HJ et al. S Afr Med J, 2016 Feb;106:264-7; Elimam AA et al. BMC Med. Genet., 2017 08;18:85; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620; Santonocito C et al. Cancers (Basel), 2020 May;12:). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). 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. -

Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

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: 28814288). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52178). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The BRCA2 c.6761_6762delTT variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Phe2254Tyrfs*6). This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with breast or ovarian cancer (see for example, Seymour et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 26915939; Elimam et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28814288; Table S1, Rebbeck et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29446198). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating it is rare. This variant has been classified as pathogenic by other institutions in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/52178/). Frameshift variants in BRCA2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
