Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000044404 SCV000072417 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-12-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1466Phefs*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 present in population databases (rs755956766, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer (PMID: 17700570, 24504028, 24728189, 26681312, 27406733, 27831900). This variant is also known as 4625_4629delACATT and 1465_1467del. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51640). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000131078 SCV000186008 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-06-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.4398_4402delACATT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 5 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 4398 to 4402, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L1466Ffs*2). This mutation (designated as 4625_4629delACATT) was reported in a Caucasian individual with prostate cancer diagnosed at age 51, who had a family history of prostate cancer in first-degree relatives, but no family history of breast or ovarian cancer (Agalliu I et al. Br. J. Cancer 2007 Sep;97(6):826-31). This mutation has also been reported in individuals with a personal history of breast, ovarian, and/or pancreatic cancer (Cunningham JM et al. Sci. Rep. 2014 Feb;4:4026; Natarajan P et al. Sci. Transl. Med. 2016 Nov;8(364):364ra151; Walker EJ et al. Fam. Cancer. 2019 Apr;18:241-251). 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.

This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with ovarian/breast cancer (PMID: 22711857, 24504028, 24728189, 26681312, 27406733) and prostate cancer (PMID: 17700570). This variant has been identified in 1/246640 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.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000044404 SCV000694767 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2019-07-02 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4398_4402delACATT (p.Leu1466PhefsX2) 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 4e-06 in 249696 control chromosomes. c.4398_4402delACATT has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Alsop_2012, Song_2014, George_2016, Susswein_2016, Rebbeck_2018) and prostate cancer (Agalliu_2007). One publication, George_2016). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine ClinVar submissions including one expert panel, ENIGMA, (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000044404 SCV001365791 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2021-07-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Leu1466PhefsX2 variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 7 individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (Agalliu 2007 PMID:17700570, Cunningham 2014 PMID:24504028, Susswein 2016 PMID:26681312, and Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database: https://research.nhgri.nih.gov/bic/). This variant has been identified in 0.003% (2/68012) European chromosomes by gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org, v3.1). This frequency is low enough to be consistent with the frequency of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) in the general population. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1466 and leads to a premature termination codon 2 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Additionally, this variant was classified as pathogenic on April 22, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (Variation ID 51640). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner. ACMG/AMP criteria applied: PS4_Moderate, PM2_Supporting, PVS1.

All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health RCV004803178 SCV004845677 pathogenic BRCA2-related cancer predisposition 2024-05-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.4398_4402del variant in the BRCA2 gene is located on the exon 11 and is predicted to shift the reading frame such that it introduces a premature translation termination codon (p.Leu1466Phefs*2), resulting in an absent or disrupted protein product. The variant has been reported in multiple individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198, 29446198, 26681312). Other protein termination codon variants located in the same exon (p.Ser1404*, p.Gln2160*, p.Cys2256*) have been classified as pathogenic (ClinVar ID: 91815, 266950, 52180). Loss-of-function variants in the BRCA2 gene are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 8988179, 11897832, 29446198). The variant is reported in ClinVar and interpreted as pathogenic by the expert panel (ID: 51640). The variant is rare in general population according to gnomAD (1/246640 chromosomes). Therefore, the c.4398_4402del (p.Leu1466Phefs*2) variant in the BRCA2 gene has been classified as pathogenic.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001353793 SCV000591902 pathogenic Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The p.Leu1466PhefsX2 variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in dbSNP as a pathogenic allele (ID: rs80359444), in the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database (released Jan 13, 2015) in 1 of 119188 chromosomes (frequency: 8.39E-06) (or 1 individual from a population of 32803 European (Non-Finnish) individuals and none from East Asian, African, Latino, South Asian, European (Finnish) or Other individuals. It was also identified in the Clinvitae database (4X), the ClinVar database (classified as a pathogenic variant by the Sharing Clinical Reports Project, derived from Myriad reports, Invitae, BIC, Ambry Genetics and GeneDX), the BIC database (3X with pathogenic clinical importance), and UMD (4X as a causal variant). The p.Leu1466PhefsX2 deletion variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 1466 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 in 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 laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
