Description

The c.7913_7917delTTCCT pathogenic mutation (also known as p.F2638*), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of five nucleotides between positions 7913 and 7917. This changes the amino acid from a phenylalanine to a stop codon within coding exon 16. This mutation has been identified in numerous families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Gayther SA et al. Nat. Genet., 1997 Jan;15:103-5; Frank TS et al. J Clin Oncol, 1998 Jul;16:2417-25; Balabas A et al. Fam Cancer, 2010 Sep;9:267-74; Becker AA et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2012 Aug;135:167-75; Wojcik P et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract, 2016 Feb;14:5; Cybulski C et al. Int J Cancer, 2019 12;145:3311-3320; ukomska A et al. Cancers (Basel), 2021 Feb;13; Dorling et al. N Engl J Med. 2021 02;384:428-439). This alteration was identified multiple times in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat, 2018 05;39:593-620). A Czech founder effect was recognized in one study (Machackova E et al. BMC Cancer 2008 May;8:140). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 8141del5 and 8138del5 in published literature. 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.

Description

This variant deletes 5 nucleotides in exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant is also known as 8141del5 in the literature. This variant has been reported in more than 10 individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 20383589, 22729890, 24528374, 26843898, 31173646, 33471991, 33670479) and has been identified in 37 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
