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]

The c.7436-4A>G variant has not been previously identified in the literature but has been identified in one individual with breast cancer in our laboratory. This individual met the ministry of health of ontario categories 7 (two cases of breast cancer, both <50 years, in first or second-degree relatives) and 10 (three or more cases of breast or ovarian cancer at any age). This variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. Computational or in-silico analyses do not demonstrate altered splicing in 4 of the splice prediction programs (SpliceSiteFinder-like, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, HumanSpliceFinder), increasing the possibility that this may be a benign variant. However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. Therefore this variant is a variant of unknown significance. -

This alteration is classified as 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7436-4A>G alters a nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. In addition, at least two publications reported experimental evidence demonstrating that the variant does not impact normal splicing, in either patient derived mRNA (Wangensteen_2019) or in a minigene assay (Fraile-Bethencourt_2019). The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.6e-05 in 251022 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.7436-4A>G has been reported in the literature in at least one individual screened for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Wangensteen_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 31191615, 31143303). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38097). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
