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 Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This deletion of two nucleotides in BRCA2 is denoted c.9014_9015delGA at the cDNA level and p.Arg3005IlefsX12 (R3005IfsX12) at the protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 9242_9243delGA. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in braces, is AAGA[GA]TACA. The deletion causes a frameshift, which changes an Arginine to an Isoleucine at codon 3005, and creates a premature stop codon at position 12 of the new reading frame. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. We consider this variant to be pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The BRCA2 c.9014_9015del (p.Arg3005Ilefs*12) variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual with breast cancer and lung cancer (PMID: 37461096 (2023)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.9014_9015delGA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 22 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 9014 to 9015, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R3005Ifs*12). 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. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant deletes 2 nucleotides in exon 23 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 not been identified 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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234445). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg3005Ilefs*12) 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). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
