Ambry Genetics RCV000132018 SCV000187077 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-07-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.6079dupA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a duplication of A at nucleotide position 6079, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.R2027Kfs*22). This alteration has been described in numerous breast and ovarian cancer cohorts (Evans DG et al. Fam. Cancer. 2008 Jul;7(2):113-117; Song H et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Sep;23(17):4703-4709; Copson ER et al. Lancet Oncol. 2018 02;19(2):169-180; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39(5):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.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000496519 SCV000694935 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-08-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6079dupA (p.Arg2027LysfsX22) 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 allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 250972 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.6079dupA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And/or Ovarian Cancer (examples: Spearman_2008, Evans_2008, Song_2014, Castera_2014). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 18824701, 17636422, 24728189, 24549055). Eight submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000132018 SCV000911765 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2020-12-07 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. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 17636422, 21120943, 24549055, 24728189, 27153395). This variant has been identified in 1/250972 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.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000496519 SCV001591686 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-10-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg2027Lysfs*22) 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 (rs749927339, gnomAD 0.0009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 14574168, 21120943, 24728189). This variant is also known as 6308insA. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52005). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
