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

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a hotspot region, there are 3 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 3 benign, 14 uncertain in NM_000059.4
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.8979_8982delATCAinsTGAT variant (also known as 9207del4insTGAT and p.S2994D), located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of ATCA and insertion of TGAT between nucleotide positions 8979 and 8982. The serine at codon 2994 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6498 samples (12996 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.001% (greater than 150000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of c.8979_8982delATCAinsTGAT remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is a 4-basepair substitution that results in a single amino acid change replacing serine with aspartic acid at codon 2994 of the BRCA2 protein. This 4-basepair substitution is also known as an inversion, chr13.GRCh37:g.32953912_32953915inv and c.8979_8982inv. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has not been identified 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

This sequence change replaces serine with aspartic acid at codon 2994 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ser2994Asp). The serine residue is moderately conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between serine and aspartic acid. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA2-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231569). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
