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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant causes a duplication of 6 basepairs and the in-frame insertion of 2 amino acids in the BRCA2 protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been performed for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25777348, CanVaS database (http://ithaka.rrp.demokritos.gr/CanVaS/individuals/00016341), Color internal data) and an individual affected with Lynch syndrome (PMID: 31942411). This variant has been identified in 1/249934 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.4446_4451dupAACAGA variant (also known as p.E1482_T1483dup), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of AACAGA at nucleotide positions 4446 to 4451. This results in the duplication of 2 extra residues (ET) between codons 1482 and 1483. This variant was identified in 1/250 high-risk Lebanese women with breast cancer. (El Saghir NS et al. Oncologist, 2015 Apr;20:357-64) and in an individual with MSS rectal cancer (Staninova-Stojovska M et al. Balkan J Med Genet, 2019 Dec;22:5-16). This amino acid region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4446_4451dupAACAGA (p.Glu1482_Thr1483dup) results in an in-frame duplication that is predicted to duplicate two amino acids into the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249934 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.4446_4451dupAACAGA has been reported in the literature in at-least one individual with triple negative ductal carcinoma (example, El Saghir_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This variant, c.4446_4451dup, results in the insertion of 2 amino acid(s) of the BRCA2 protein (p.Glu1482_Thr1483dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer or hereditary non polyposis syndromes (PMID: 25777348, 31942411). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216854). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
