Description

This sequence change replaces tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2626 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Trp2626Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359013, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer and Fanconi anemia (PMID: 11802209, 15070707, 16115142, 20104584, 21138478, 21203900, 22666503, 25085752). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38125). Based on a multifactorial likelihood algorithm using genetic, in silico, and/or statistical data, this variant has been determined to have a high probability of being pathogenic (PMID: 17924331, 21990134). Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 17924331, 21719596, 21990134, 23108138, 25146914). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

BRCA2 c.7878G>C (p.Trp2626Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the helical domain (IPR015252). Five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect. Observed at a frequency of 7.9e-06 in 251676 control chromosomes. Reported in individuals with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (PMID's listed) and in trans with another BRCA2 variant (2041insA) in individuals with Fanconi Anemia (PMID's listed and BIC database). Several publications report experimental evidence demonstrating an inability to complement the cell lethal phenotype induced by loss of endogenous mouse BRCA2 (PMID's listed). One expert panel (ENIGMA) and ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic (n=6)/likely pathogenic (n=5). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was re-classified as pathogenic.

Description

The p.Trp2626Cys variant in BRCA2 has been reported in >16 individuals with BRCA 2-associated cancers (Han 2006, Petersen 2016, Breast Cancer Information Core). This variant has been identified in 2/66726 of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs80359013) . However, this frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of h ereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in the general population. In vitro f unctional studies provide some evidence that the p.Trp2626Cys may impact protein function (Hendriks 2014). Computational prediction tools and conservation analy sis suggest that the p.Trp2626Cys variant may impact the protein, though this in formation is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In addition, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Aug 10, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved EN IGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000244475.1). In summary, although additional stud ies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Trp2626Cys variant is likely pathogenic.
