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]

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of 4 nucleotides in BRCA2 is denoted c.9513_9516delACTT at the cDNA level and p.Leu3172AlafsX44 (L3172AfsX44) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in braces, is ACAT[ACTT]TGCA. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes a Leucine to an Alanine at codon 3172, and creates a premature stop codon at position 44 of the new reading frame. Even though this frameshift occurs in the second to last exon of the gene, and nonsense-mediated decay is not expected to occur, it is significant since the last 247 amino acids are no longer translated correctly and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through protein truncation. BRCA2 c.9513_9516delACTT has been observed in at least one individual with prostate cancer (Hart 2016). Based on the currently available information, we consider this deletion to be a likely pathogenic variant. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 4 nucleotides in exon 26 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.9513_9516delACTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 25 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 9513 to 9516, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L3172Afs*44). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of theBRCA2 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts the last 204 amino acids of the protein. However, premature stop codons are typically deleterious in nature and the impacted region is critical for protein function and a significant portion of the protein is affected (Ambry internal data). This pathogenic mutation has been reported in one individual diagnosed with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (Hart SN et al. BMJ Open. 2016 Apr;6(4):e010332). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu3172Alafs*44) in the BRCA2 gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 247 amino acid(s) of the BRCA2 protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer (PMID: 27084275). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52862). This variant disrupts a region of the BRCA2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Tyr3308*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 17026620, 22711857). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9513_9516delACTT (p.Leu3172AlafsX44) 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 251308 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.9513_9516delACTT has been reported in the literature in individual(s) affected with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (Hart_2016). Four ClinVar submitters including an expert panel (ENIGMA) (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic/likely pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
