Description

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

The c.3860delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 3860, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N1287Ifs*6). This alteration has been reported in multiple breast and/or ovarian cancer families to date (Kanaan Y et al. Hum. Genet. 2003 Oct;113(5):452-60; Papi L et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2009 Oct;117:497-504; Tea MK et al. Maturitas. 2014 Jan;77:68-72; Zhang J et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2016 Aug;158(3):455-62; Heramb C et al. Hered. Cancer Clin. Pract. 2018 Jan;16:3). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 4088delA 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 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is also known as 4088delA in the literature. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in at least 16 individuals affected with breast cancer, including 2 male individuals and 1 individual affected with both breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 12673801, 12942367, 12955716, 27393621, 32438681, 33471991, 34645131, doi: 10.51505/ijmshr.2021.5213). This variant has been identified in many families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer and has been reported in 29 families among CIMBA participants (PMID: 18821011, 24156927, 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.
