Description

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51943). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 8673091, 26577449). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp194*) 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).

Description

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.581G>A (p.Trp194X) 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. At least one publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing, i.e. increasing exon 4-7 and exon 7 skipping compared to WT (Biswas 2011, Di Giacomo 2013) and can generate a protein albeit with decreased ability to rescue the lethality of BRCA2-null embryonic stem cells (Biswas 2011) and with reduced p53 phosphorylation (Loke 2015).The variant was absent in 251402 control chromosomes. c.581G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
