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 Benign:1

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	University of Washington Department of Laboratory Medicine, University of Washington	Mar 23, 2023	Missense variant in a coldspot region where missense variants are very unlikely to be pathogenic (PMID:31911673). -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Oct 18, 2023	This missense variant replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 1413 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of breast cancer (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_008178, 37415649). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Feb 10, 2023	The p.K1413E variant (also known as c.4237A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4237. The lysine at codon 1413 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

The BRCA2 c.4237A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys1413Glu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant is interpreted as variant of uncertain significance and likely benign in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/234751/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.4237A>G at the cDNA level, p.Lys1413Glu (K1413E) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Lysine to a Glutamic Acid (AAA>GAA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 4465A>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Lys1413Glu was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Lysine and Glutamic Acid differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Lys1413Glu occurs at a position that is not conserved and is located in the RAD51 binding domain and the region of interaction with POLH (Roy 2012). In silico analyses predict that this variant is unlikely to alter protein structure or function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Lys1413Glu is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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. 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 234751). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 1413 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Lys1413Glu). -
