Description

The p.W2626* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.7878G>A) located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 7878. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 16. This alteration has been reported in multiple high-risk breast and/or ovarian cancer patients in the literature (Carney ME et al. Hawaii Med J. 2010 Nov;69:268-71; Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33:304-11; Kwong A et al. PLoS ONE. 2012 Sep;7:e43994; Kwong A et al. J. Med. Genet. 2016 Jan;53:15-23; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum Mutat. 2018 May;39(5):593-620). 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 changes 1 nucleotide 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 has been detected in at least 10 individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21218378, 25452441, 26187060, 33471991; Color internal data; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_005264) and one proband who also had cancer of the brain (PMID: 21218378). 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.
