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: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Jan 30, 2019	This variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. To the best of our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the published literature. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Feb 23, 2018	This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA2 is denoted c.1733delG at the cDNA level and p.Gly578ValfsX2 (G578VfsX2) at the protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 1961delG. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in brackets, is GCAG[delG]TTTA. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Glycine to a Valine at codon 578, and creates a premature stop codon at position 2 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health	Nov 22, 2021	This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 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. To our knowledge, 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). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Apr 25, 2022	The c.1733delG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1733, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G578Vfs*2). 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. -

Familial cancer of breast Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneKor MSA	Jan 01, 2020	This sequence change deletes one base from exon 10 of the BRCA2 mRNA (c.1733delG), It results in a frame-shift creating a new stop codon at amino acid residue 578, thus resulting in a truncated protein. Truncating variants in the BRCA2 gene are known to be pathogenic. The mutation database Clinvar contains entries for this variant (Variation ID:252442). -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	Feb 21, 2024	- -

Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Mar 26, 2021	This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly578Valfs*2) 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). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252442). -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Dec 10, 2018	Variant summary: The variant, BRCA2 c.1733delG (p.Gly578ValfsX2) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (eg. c.1736T>G (p.Leu579X), c.1796_1800delCTTAT (p.Ser599X), c.2254_2257delGACT (p.Asp752fsX19)). The variant was absent in 245778 control chromosomes (gnomAD). To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1733delG in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -
