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]

ACMG classification

Specifications for BRCA2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.014331676 fraction of the gene. No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal is inframe change.
• PS3: PS3 evidence extracted from ClinVar submissions: SCV000185979: RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data; Acedo A et al. Hum Mutat, 2015 Feb;36:210-21). Two saturation genome editing-based studies, including a haploid cell-survival assay and a humanized mouse embryonic stem cell line assay of drug response and survival, demonstrate that this nucleotide substitution is non-functional (Huang H et al. Nature. 2025 Feb;638(8050):528-537; Sahu S et al. Nature. 2025 Feb;638(8050):538-545).; SCV004362822: An RNA study utilizing a mini-gene assay have shown that this variant results in multiple aberrant transcripts causing both in-frame skipping of exon 26 and protein frameshift mutations via the use of cryptic acceptor sites (PMID: 25382762).; SCV000600864: This variant was shown to cause exon 26 skipping and produces aberrant transcripts which may have consequences with BRCA2 binding to TP53 (PMID: 25382762 (2015)).; SCV001588440: Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and/or leukemia (PMID: 29446198, 34308104, 36169650).
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32396896-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32396896-A-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 52858.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
