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 variant is denoted BRCA2 c.7992T>A at the DNA level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 8220T>A. Although the variant is silent at the coding level, preserving an Isoleucine at codon 2664, it has been demonstrated to cause abnormal splicing. However, the splicing error has been characterized as having a partial, or leaky, effect, with some full length transcript also being produced (Th?ry 2011, Houdayer 2012). BRCA2 c.7992T>A has been reported in a patient with bilateral breast cancer and a family history of early onset breast cancer (Th?ry 2011). BRCA2 c.7992T>A was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). The nucleotide which is altered, a thymine (T) at base 7992, is conserved among mammals. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA2 c.7992T>A is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7992T>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 5/5 computational tools via ALAMUT predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Another in-silico tool for assessing the pathogenicity of synonymous variants, namely TraP (Transcript-inferred Pathogenicity, Gelfman_2017) predicts that this variant is Benign. However, splicing functional assays demonstrated the variant increases skipping of exon 18 (Thery_2011, Houdayer_2012, Fraile-Bethencourt_2017), however It is complex to interpret the role of variants with partial splicing anomalies in HBOC under the clinical perspective. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.2e-05 in 250460 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.7992T>A, has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with breast cancer (Thery_BRCA2_EJHG_2011). The data does not allow any conclusion about variant significance. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation (VUS, n=2, likely benign, n=2) and one expert panel (ENIGMA) classified this variant as likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign -

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

The p.Ile2664Ile has been identified in UMD (6X) and the BIC (1X) databases. It is listed in dbSNP database coming from a “clinical source” (ID#: rs80359800) with a “global minor allele frequency of less than 0.001 (1000 genomes). This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not alter an amino acid residue, however it has been suggested to induce incomplete skipping of exon 18 of BRCA2 detected by minigene and in vivo assays (Thery 2011); yet in–silico or computational prediction software (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predicts no change in the splice site prediction score. In summary, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. Therefore this variant is a variant of unknown significance (VUS). -
