Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2784 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Arg2784Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359075, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast, ovarian, and lung cancer (PMID: 16683254, 27616075, 30032850, 34350294). This variant may be associated with reduced penetrance of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome based on statistical analysis (external communication). In addition, this variant has been observed in individuals with Fanconi anemia (PMID: 21520333, external communication). In at least one individual the data is consistent with the variant being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38155). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 18451181, 23108138, 29884841, 29988080, 33293522). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8350C>T (p.Arg2784Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB1 domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251430 control chromosomes. c.8350C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer (e.g. van der Hout_2006, Farrugia_2008, Garcia_2009, Vail_2015, Kraus_2017, daCosta_2019, Machackova_2019, Shao_2020, Wu_2021), Fanconi anemia (e.g. Radulovic_2023), or other cancers (e.g. Donner_2018, Sirak_2021, Xia_2022). Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g. Farrugia_2008, Guidugli_2013, Guidugli_2018, Mesman_2019, Richardson_2021, Hu_2022) including significantly impaired homology directed repair activity meaured by HDR assays. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30032850, 18451181, 19200354, 29394989, 23108138, 24323938, 29884841, 35736817, 19043619, 27616075, 25447315, 31409081, 29988080, 36721989, 33609447, 31742824, 34970085, 25782689, 34350294, 35762214, 31060523, 30447919, 16683254). 19 submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, classifying the variant as pathogenic (n=3), likely pathogenic (n=13), or uncertain significance (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

Description

Data used in classification: This variant is predicted deleterious on AlignGVGD (class: C65), SIFT (Deleterious), Polyphen2 HumVar (probably damaging) and CADD (20.3) (PP3_sup). The variant is in the DNA-binding domain of BRCA2 (PM1_sup). In the BRCA2 Homology-Directed Repair Activity assay for the DNA Binding Domain (Guidugli et al Cancer Res 2013;73:265-275,Couch Lab), the variant has a probability of pathogenicity of 1.0 (PS3_strong). This variant is classified on ClinVar as likely pathogenic by accredited USA diagnostic laboratory GeneDx, 2017 (PP5_sup). Data not used in classification: The variant was observed in 1 independent UK family undergoing clinical diagnostic BRCA1/BRCA2 testing for HBOC according to diagnostic criteria, the denominator of which dataset of clinical testing was 16,600. Case control comparison against ethnically matched population data (1/16,600 in familial cases against 1/55,836 gnomAD NFE controls) 2-sided Fishers exact: pexact= 0.4. The frequency of this variant is 2/67,272 individuals (remainder of the gnomAD population).
