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 sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser2988Phefs*12) 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 breast cancer (PMID: 10923033, 12872265). This variant is also known as 9189del4. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52714). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8961_8964delGAGT (p.Ser2988PhefsX12) 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 250792 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.8961_8964delGAGT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Stuppia_2003, Tutt_2010, Rebbeck_2018). 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. Seven ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014), including one expert panel (ENIGMA), cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

The c.8961_8964delGAGT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 8961 to 8964, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S2988Ffs*12). This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (Stuppia L et al. Hum. Mutat. 2003;22(2):178-9; Yang et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2017 Oct;165(3):687-697; Rebbeck et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39(5):593-620; Wang et al. BMC Cancer 2018 03;18:315; Ow et al. PLoS ONE 2019 Mar;14:e0213746). In one functional study using minigene assays, this mutation was predicted to disrupt the SF2/ASF and SRp55 protein complexes and create an exonic splicing silencer (Acedo A et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012;14(3):R87). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 9189del4 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. -

This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 23 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, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast/ovarian cancer (PMID: 12872265, 20609467, 27153395, 28664506, 29566657). 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).
