Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln2859Lysfs*4) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs80359718, gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with prostate cancer and breast cancer (PMID: 11304778, 20104584, 23704984, 26360800, 27083775, 27433846). This variant is also known as 8803delC. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38169). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8575delC (p.Gln2859LysfsX4) 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. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251220 control chromosomes. c.8575delC 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.

Description

The p.Gln2859LysfsX4 variant in BRCA2 has been reported in >20 individuals with BRCA2-related cancers (Martin 2001, Pritchard 2016, Roed Nielsen 2016, BIC database). It was absent from large population databases. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 2859 and leads to a premature termination codon 4 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on Apr 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID: 38169). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2, PS4.
