Ambry Genetics RCV000130453 SCV000185317 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-01-24 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.R2341C variant (also known as c.7021C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 7021. The arginine at codon 2341 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been detected in a suspected HBOC family and in multiple patients diagnosed with breast cancer (Warren CR et al. Exp. Cell Res. 2011 Sep; 317:2099-109; Wong-Brown MW et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat. 2015 Feb; 150(1):71-80; Penkert J et al. Breast Cancer Res, 2018 08;20:87). This alteration has also been detected in a cohort of 727 patients with personal and family history of pancreatic cancer (Zhen DB et al. Genet. Med., 2015 Jul;17:569-77). Additionally, this alteration was observed in with an allele frequency of 0.00014 in 7,051 unselected female breast cancer patients and was observed with an allele frequency of 0 in 11,241 female controls of Japanese ancestry (Momozawa Y et al. Nat Commun, 2018 10;9:4083) and in 1/1358 non-cancer control individuals and in 0/57 cases, in a study looking at cancer predisposition mutations in patients with cutaneous melanoma and a history of at least two additional non-cutaneous melanoma primary cancers (Pritchard AL et al. PLoS One, 2018 Apr;13:e0194098). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000130453 SCV000906543 uncertain significance Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-05-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 2341 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21741379, 25682074, 30086788, 30287823), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25356972), and prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711). This variant has been identified in 6/250562 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000781128 SCV000918977 uncertain significance not specified 2021-09-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.7021C>T (p.Arg2341Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Linker region (Warren_2011) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.2e-05 in 273044 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.7021C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (Warren_ 2011, Wong-Brown_2015, Momozawa_2018) and was also found in one patient with pancreatic cancer (Zhen_2014). These reports however do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. Co-occurrences with pathogenic variants have been reported in UMD database (BRCA1 c.3048_3067del; p.Asn1018HisfsX3 and BRCA2 c.3744_3747delTGAG ; p.Ser1248ArgfsX10), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. The variant was found to have no effect on splicing (Wai_2020). Five other ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) with four citing the variant as uncertain significance and one citing at likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign.

Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function. This variant did not impact function in a high throughput multiplexed NGS-based functional assay in mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 37922907). This variant has been observed in individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 21741379, 25682074, 30086788, 30287823), pancreatic cancer (PMID: 25356972), and prostate cancer (PMID: 31214711).
