Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000044456 SCV000072469 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2025-01-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn1544Lysfs*4) 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 (rs771851449, gnomAD 0.002%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast/ovarian cancer, and an individual undergoing testing for Lynch syndrome (PMID: 17688236, 23683081, 24728189, 25980754). This variant is also known as 4859insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37912). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000132322 SCV000187408 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2024-07-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.4631dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 4631, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N1544Kfs*4). This mutation has been identified in multiple European breast and/or ovarian cancer families (Al-Mulla F et al. J. Clin. Pathol. 2009 Apr;62(4):350-6; Ramus SJ et al. Hum Mutat, 2007 Dec;28:1207-15; Blay P et al. BMC Cancer. 2013 May 17;13:243; Song H et al. Hum Mol Genet, 2014 Sep;23:4703-9). This mutation was also detected in a cohort of 29,906 healthy individuals who underwent multigene panel testing (Grzymski JJ et al. Nat Med, 2020 08;26:1235-1239). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 4859insA 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.
Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000388617 SCV000296705 pathogenic not provided 2019-08-23 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This frameshift variant causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. In addition, it has been reported in affected individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer in the published literature (PMIDs: 17688236 (2007), 23683081 (2013) and 25980754 (2015)). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000132322 SCV000911166 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-12-11 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 5 individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 17688236, 22711857, 23683081, 24728189, 28525389), 1 individual suspected to be affected with Lynch Syndrome and (PMID: 25980754), and has been identified in 9 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198). This variant has been identified in 2/276320 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 RCV000044456 SCV000916854 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-02-19 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.4631dupA (p.Asn1544LysfsX4) 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. The variant was absent in 245418 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The c.4631dupA variant has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. 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. Multiple ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) classify the variant as "pathogenic," in addition, multiple reliable databases also classify the variant as "pathogenic." Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
