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 22 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing 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
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 13-32326615-T-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32326615-T-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 267653.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-32326615-T-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.631+2T>A or IVS7+2T>A and consists of a T>A nucleotide substitution at the +2 position of intron 7 of the BRCA2 gene. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 859+2T>A. This variant destroys a canonical splice donor site and is predicted to cause abnormal gene splicing, leading to either an abnormal message that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay or to an abnormal protein product. While BRCA2 c.631+2T>A has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, another variant at the same position, BRCA2 c.631+2T>G, has been observed in individuals with hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer syndrome, with functional studies revealing impacts on splicing and protein expression (Pyne 2000, Biswas 2011, Wong-Brown 2015). Based on the current evidence, we consider BRCA2 c.631+2T>A to be pathogenic. -
