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

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32363178-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32363178-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 267690.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-32363178-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 22, 2022	The c.7977-1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). This variant was also identified in an individual from Trinidad and Tobago who was diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer under age 40 (George SHL et al. JAMA Netw Open, 2021 03;4:e210307). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Aug 09, 2021	This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the -1 position of intron 17 of the BRCA2 gene. Splice site prediction tools predict that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with breast and ovarian (PMID: 24916970, 27469594, 28477318, 30515680; Color internal data). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different variant occurring at the same position BRCA2:c.7977-1G>C is a well documented Pathogenic variant (ClinVar variationID: 38132), indicating the functional and clinical importance of this position. Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancers (PMID: 29446198). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 17 of the BRCA2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267690). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 16211554, 22006311, 28339459, 32398771; Invitae). -
