GeneDx RCV000486817 SCV000565684 pathogenic not provided 2018-01-26 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This deletion of one nucleotide in BRCA2 is denoted c.6643delT at the cDNA level and p.Tyr2215ThrfsX14 (Y2215TfsX14) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is deleted in braces, is TACT[T]ACTC. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Tyrosine to a Threonine at codon 2215, and creates a premature stop codon at position 14 of the new reading frame. This variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. BRCA2 c.6643delT, also known as 6871delT and 6870delT using alternate nomenclature, has been identified in at least two Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer families (Lubinski 2004, Holter 2015). We consider this variant to be pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000574731 SCV000668695 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-12-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.6643delT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 6643, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.Y2215Tfs*14). This mutation has been found in multiple families with hereditary breast, ovarian, and/or pancreatic cancer (Lubinski J et al. Fam. Cancer. 2004;3:1-10; Holter S et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Oct;33:3124-9; Copson ER et al. Lancet Oncol., 2018 02;19:169-180). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 6870delT 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.
Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000574731 SCV000683793 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-06-07 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant deletes 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 individuals affected with breast, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 22711857, 25940717, 29337092, Color internal data), and in suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 15131399, 29446198). This variant has been identified in 1/249382 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 RCV000496286 SCV000917024 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-09-17 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6643delT (p.Tyr2215ThrfsX14) 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 4.1e-06 in 244376 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.6643delT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Holter_2015, Lubinski_2004, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000486817 SCV001133868 pathogenic not provided 2019-05-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The variant results in a shift of the reading frame, and is therefore predicted to result in the loss of a functional protein. Found in at least one symptomatic patient, and not found in general population data.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000496286 SCV001578510 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2022-08-21 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52145). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and an individual affected with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PMID: 15131399, 25940717). This variant is present in population databases (rs749364793, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr2215Thrfs*14) 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).

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV000486817 SCV000592067 pathogenic not provided no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The BRCA2 p.Tyr2215ThrfsX14 deletion variant was not identified in the literature but was identified in HGMD and in BIC 2X with clinical importance. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 2215 and leads to a premature stop codon 13 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. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as pathogenic.
