GeneDx RCV000657631 SCV000779374 pathogenic not provided 2016-10-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.4859T>G at the cDNA level and p.Leu1620Ter (L1620X) at the protein level. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant has been published as BRCA2 c.5087T>G. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Leucine to a premature stop codon (TTA>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. This variant has been reported in individuals with ovarian cancer and is considered pathogenic (Risch 2006, Zhang 2011).
Invitae RCV000496625 SCV001586069 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-07-16 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1620*) 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 (rs80358710, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 11179017). This variant is also known as T5087G. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51730). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV001525083 SCV001735098 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-01-04 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21324516). This variant has been identified in 1/249834 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.
Ambry Genetics RCV001525083 SCV002634888 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2020-12-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.L1620* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.4859T>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 4859. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration was identified in a Canadian individual diagnosed with ovarian cancer (Risch HA et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2001 Mar;68:700-10). This alteration was also 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 T5087G. 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.
