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]

Found in at least one patient with expected phenotype for this gene, and found in general population data at a frequency that is consistent with pathogenicity. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Oct 11, 2022	This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with pancreatic cancer (PMID: 26546047, 31469826) and prostate cancer (PMID: 27433846). This variant has been identified in 1/251062 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Jul 13, 2021	The c.4691dupC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of C at nucleotide position 4691, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T1566Dfs*9). This alteration was identified in an individuals with prostate and pancreatic cancer (Pritchard CC et al. N Engl J Med, 2016 Aug;375:443-53; Smith AL et al. Cancer Lett. 2016 Jan;370(2):302-12). This alteration was also identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Mar 22, 2019	The p.Thr1566AspfsX9 variant in BRCA2 has been reported in 2 individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (1 individual with prostate cancer and 1 individual with pancreatic cancer; Pritchard 2016, Smith 2016). It has also been identified in 1/113,456 European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved NAME expert panel (Variation ID 188309). It is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1566 and leads to a premature termination codon 9 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4_Supporting. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jun 05, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 188309). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer (PMID: 26546047, 27433846). This variant is present in population databases (rs786204209, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr1566Aspfs*9) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). -
