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 breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:3

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 03, 2024	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8535_8538delAGAG (p.Glu2846LysfsX16) 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. The variant was absent in 251142 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.8535_8538delAGAG has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And/or Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example: Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52615). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jun 09, 2023	This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of BRCA2-related conditions (PMID: 21520333). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52615). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu2846Lysfs*16) 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). -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Jan 15, 2020	This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 20 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 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 08, 2024	The c.8535_8538delAGAG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 19 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 8535 to 8538, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E2846Kfs*16). This mutation was identified in four individuals as part of a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (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. -
