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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 26, 2024	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys2750Aspfs*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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast/ovarian cancer (PMID: 15340362, 22762150). This variant is also known as 8475delGA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52536). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 24, 2022	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8247_8248delGA (p.Lys2750AspfsX13) 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. The variant was absent in 249060 control chromosomes. c.8247_8248delGA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 07, 2022	This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 18 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 has been reported in at least 5 individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer, including 1 male individual and 1 individual affected with both breast and ovarian cancer, (PMID: 11879560, 17257844, 22776961, 27163896, 34072659) and has been identified in 36 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). 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	Jan 25, 2022	The c.8247_8248delGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 8247 to 8248, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.K2750Dfs*13). This alteration has been identified in multiple high-risk breast/ovarian cancer families (Marroni, F et al. Eur J Hum Genet. 2004 Nov;12(11):899-906; Musolino, A et al. Breast. 2007 Jun;16(3):280-92; Maxwell KN et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2016 May;98:801-817). This variant has also been report in 2/81 male breast cancer patients who had multi-gene panel testing (Scarpitta R et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat, 2019 Dec;178:557-564). Of note, this mutation is also designated as 8475delGA. 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. -
