Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points: 2P and 2B. PM2 BP4_Moderate

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.6894A>T(p.Glu2298Asp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000657 in 152,172 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. E2298K) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 0 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.21822482).

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.6894A>T at the cDNA level, p.Glu2298Asp (E2298D) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to an Aspartic Acid (GAA>GAT). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 7122A>T. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Glu2298Asp 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 Glutamic Acid and Aspartic Acid share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Glu2298Asp occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain (Borg 2010, UniProt). 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 Glu2298Asp is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

The p.E2298D variant (also known as c.6894A>T), located in coding exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 6894. The glutamic acid at codon 2298 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

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: 234753). 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 replaces glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, with aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 2298 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Glu2298Asp). -
