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 BRCA2 c.9530A>G (p.Glu3177Gly) missense change has a maximum subpopulation allele frequency of 0.006% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a deleterious effect on protein function but this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in a breast cancer family (PMID:15937982). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with glycine at codon 3177 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been detected in an individual affected with breast cancer and in a family suspected of being affected with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 15937982; Color internal data). This variant has been identified in 2/251358 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

In the published literature, the variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer as a variant of uncertain significance (PMID:15937982 (2005)). This variant has also been reported in a large hereditary cancer screening study (PMID: 31853058 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251358 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9530A>G (p.Glu3177Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2 OB3 domain (IPR015188) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8.1e-06 in 246134 control chromosomes (gnomAD). This frequency is not significantly higher than expected for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (8.1e-06 vs 7.50e-04), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. The variant, c.9530A>G, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected or with family history of Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Velasco_2005). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Two clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 3177 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Glu3177Gly). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with cancer (PMID: 15937982, 32522261). This variant is also known as 9758A>G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230066). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
