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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome

Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Nov 04, 2023	The p.A2557T variant (also known as c.7669G>A), located in coding exon 15 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7669. The alanine at codon 2557 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in 2/250 high-risk Lebanese women with breast cancer (El Saghir NS et al. Oncologist, 2015 Apr;20:357-64). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Dec 13, 2022	This missense variant replaces alanine with threonine at codon 2557 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 reported in two related individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25777348). This variant has been identified in 1/251226 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. -

The BRCA2 p.Ala2557Thr was not identified in the literature, nor was it identified in the dbSNP, NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (Exome Variant Server), Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC), Fanconi Anemia Mutation Database (LOVD), COSMIC, ClinVar, Clinvitae, ARUP Laboratories BRCA Mutations Database, GeneInsight COGR, BIC or BRCA Share. Although the p.Ala2557 residue is not conserved in mammals, computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) suggest that the p.Ala2557Thr variant may impact the protein. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2557 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ala2557Thr). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25777348, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 230545). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on BRCA2 protein function. 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. -
