Ambry Genetics RCV000569057 SCV000673102 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-03-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.3751dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 3751, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T1251Nfs*14). This alteration was identified in a Turkish patient with ovarian cancer as well as an Iranian patient with early onset breast cancer (Yazici H et al. Hum. Mutat., 2002 Jul;20:28-34; Kwong A et al. J. Med. Genet., 2016 Jan;53:15-23). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 3976insA and 3979insA 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.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000779989 SCV000916971 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2022-12-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3751dupA (p.Thr1251AsnfsX14) 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 4.1e-06 in 245816 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The variant, c.3751dupA, has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (examples: Heramb_2018, Yassaee_2002, Yazici_2002). 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. Twelve ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Rady Children's Institute for Genomic Medicine, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego RCV000569057 SCV000996187 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2018-08-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This frameshifting variant in exon 11 of 28 introduces a premature stop codon and is predicted to result in loss of normal protein function. This variant has been previously reported as a disease-causing variant in the literature (PMID: 29339979 , 26187060, 12112655, 27165220). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.0004% (1/240830) and thus is presumed to be rare. Based on the available evidence, the c.3751dupA (p.Thr1251AsnfsTer14) is classified as pathogenic.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000569057 SCV001353292 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-09-16 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 also known as 3976insA or 3979insA in the nomenclature. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12100744, 12112655, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_001195) and a suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer family (PMID: 29339979). This variant has been identified in 1/245816 chromosomes 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.

Invitae RCV000779989 SCV001591274 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-11-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr1251Asnfs*14) 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 (rs397507683, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 12112655, 17826769, 27165220). This variant is also known as c.3976insA and c.3979insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51516). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

This variant was classified as Pathogenic on September 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved Evidence-based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) (Variation ID 51516) and was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1251 and leads to a premature termination codon 14 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 (HBOC) syndrome. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2_Supporting, PVS1, PS4_Supporting.
