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]

It has also been identified in 0.0029% (2/68040) of European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID 126202).

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesJul 30, 2021The BRCA2 c.714_716dupAAG; p.Glu238_Ser239insArg variant (rs80359640) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with ovarian or colorectal cancer (Alsop 2012, Hansen 2017). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 126202), and is only observed on two alleles in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant inserts a single arginine residue leaving the rest of the protein in-frame. Given the lack of clinical and functional data, the significance of the p.Glu238_Ser239insArg variant is uncertain at this time. References: Alsop K et al.

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJul 02, 2020Variant summary: BRCA2 c.714_716dupAAG (p.Glu238_Ser239insArg) results in an in-frame insertion that is predicted to insert one amino acids into the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250512 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.714_716dupAAG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with ovarian cancer and colorectal cancer (Alsop_2012, Hansen_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAll of Us Research Program, National Institutes of HealthOct 02, 2023This variant causes an in-frame insertion of one amino acid at exon 9 of the BRCA2 protein. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 28195393). This variant has also been identified in 2/250512 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 01, 2022The c.714_716dupAAG variant (also known as p.E238_S239insR), located in coding exon 8 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of AAG at nucleotide positions 714 to 716. This results in the insertion of an extra arginine residue between codons 238 and 239. This alteration was detected in 1/681 healthy individuals from an ancestrally diverse cohort (Bodian DL et al. PLoS One. 2014 Apr 11;9(4):e94554). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with colorectal cancer (Hansen MF et al, Clin. Genet. 2017 Oct;92:405-414). Of note, this alteration is also designated as designated as c.713_714insAAG in published literature. This amino acid region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be inconclusive by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 14, 2024This variant, c.714_716dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the BRCA2 protein (p.Glu238_Ser239insArg), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs587778130, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with colon cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 22711857, 28195393). This variant is also known as c.716_717het insAAG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 126202). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
