Invitae RCV000044373 SCV000072386 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1408*) 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 breast cancer (PMID: 19818148, 22009639). This variant is also known as 4450C>T. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37889). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000215029 SCV000274248 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-07-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Q1408* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4222C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4222. This changes the amino acid from a glutamine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration has been identified in multiple individuals diagnosed with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Miolo G et al. BMC Cancer, 2009 Oct;9:360; Bayraktar S et al. Cancer 2012 Mar; 118(6):1515-22; Cardoso FC et al. Hum Genomics, 2018 08;12:39). Additionally, 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). Of note this alteration is also described in the literature as 4450C>T. 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.

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000480509 SCV000600581 pathogenic not provided 2022-08-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 30103829 (2018), 29907814 (2018), 28888541 (2017), 22009639 (2012), 20104584 (2010), 19818148 (2009)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000044373 SCV000694754 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2020-08-31 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4222C>T (p.Gln1408X) 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 240092 control chromosomes. c.4222C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Bayraktar_2012, Miolo_2009, Rebbeck_2018). 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. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories and one expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000215029 SCV000903057 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-11-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 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 reported in individuals affected with breast cancer and ovarian cancer (PMID: 19818148, 22009639, 34072659). 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.

This variant has been reported in an individual with ductal carcinoma in situ (Bayraktar et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22009639), in an individual with ovarian cancer (Cardoso et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 30103829, Additional File 1), in an individual undergoing hereditary cancer testing (Palmero et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29907814, Table 2), and is reported in multiple families from a BRCA1/2 consortium (Rebbeck et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29446198, Table S1). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. It is interpreted as pathogenic in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/37889). Nonsense variants in BRCA2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic.
