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.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, No cryptic splice site detected. Exon removal results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 13-32330917-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32330917-A-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 267659.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr13-32330917-A-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published RNA studies demonstrate abnormal splicing resulting in transcripts lacking all or part of exon 9 (Santos 2014); Identified in individuals with personal or family history of breast/ovarian cancer (Santos 2014, Peixoto 2015); Also known as 910-2A>C; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29446198, 33159495, 24916970, 24607278) -

The c.682-2A>C intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to C substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 8 in the BRCA2 gene. This alteration was identified in a woman with early onset breast cancer and segregated with disease in her family. In addition, this alteration was shown to result in abnormal splicing that includes two out-of-frame transcripts: one lacking exon 9 (coding exon 8), and another lacking 73 nucleotides of exon 9 (coding exon 8) (Santos C et al. J Mol Diagn, 2014 May;16:324-34). Furthermore, BRCA2 c.682-2A>G is a close-match pathogenic alteration that has been identified in 1/312 male breast cancer patients with a family history of HBOC and demonstrates a very similar aberrant splicing pattern (de Juan I et al. Fam. Cancer, 2015 Dec;14:505-13; de Garibay GR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2014 Jan;35:53-7). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 30883759). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267659). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 24607278). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 8 of the BRCA2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
