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.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Sep 17, 2020	The c.7815_7816delTG pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 7815 to 7816, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C2605*). This mutation was identified in a Spanish individual that was part of a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). Another BRCA2 alteration, c.7815T>A, that leads to the same premature stop codon (p.C2605*), was identified in 2/2991 Chinese breast cancer patients and was not detected in 1043 healthy controls (Lang GT et al. Int. J. Cancer, 2017 07;141:129-142). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, 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. -

The p.Cys2605X variant has not been reported in the literature. The variant leads to a premature stop codon at position 2605 which is predicted to cause premature truncation of the protein product and loss of function. Loss of function variants in the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. -

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant has been reported in individuals in the Leiden Open-source Variation Database (PMID: 21520333). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267037). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys2605*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
