Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000044094 SCV000072107 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2025-01-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn986Lysfs*2) 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 not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16683254, 24156927, 26219728). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51378). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Ambry Genetics RCV000213454 SCV000274222 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-07-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.2957dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 2957, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon. This alteration has been detected in multiple individuals/families with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome (van der Hout AH et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 Jul;27:654-66; Tea MK et al. Maturitas 2014 Jan;77:68-72; Finch A et al. Clin. Genet. 2016 Mar;89:304-11). This alteration was identified in a large, worldwide study of BRCA1/2 mutation positive families (Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39:593-620). 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.

In addition, it has been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of breast and ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMID: 29446198 (2018), 26219728 (2016) and 16683254 (2006)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000213454 SCV000683515 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-05-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals with a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer (PMID: 16683254, 24156927, 26219728, 29446198, 32918181) and in an unaffected individual (PMID: 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001395). 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.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000044094 SCV002074357 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2022-01-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.2957dupA (p.Asn986LysfsX2) 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 was absent in 248532 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2957dupA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals with personal and/or family history of tumors that belong to the Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome spectrum (e.g. van der Hout_2006, Tea_2014, Rebbeck_2018, Power_2021). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine ClinVar submitters, including one expert panel (ENIGMA), have assessed the variant since 2014, and all of them classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001353682 SCV000591839 pathogenic Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Asn986LysfsX2 duplication variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in the BIC database 2x as clinically important. It is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 986 and leads to a premature stop codon 2 codons downstream. This alteration is then predicted to result in a truncated or absent protein and loss of function. Loss of function variants of the BRCA2 gene are an established mechanism of disease for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and is the type of variant expected to cause the disorder. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
