Invitae RCV000045442 SCV000073455 likely pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2024-01-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2726 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Tyr2726Cys). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome or prostate cancer (PMID: 25452441, 27495310, 28888541, 32875559). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52520). Advanced modeling performed at Invitae incorporating data from internal and/or published experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 23108138, 29394989, 35736817). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000130671 SCV000185557 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-06-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.Y2726C variant (also known as c.8177A>G), located in coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 8177. The tyrosine at codon 2726 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical histories suggestive of HBOC (Couch FJ et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33(4):304-11; Jarhelle E et al. Fam. Cancer. 2017 Jan;16(1):1-16; Heramb C et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2018 Jan;16:3). In one study, this variant was analyzed using protein likelihood ratio, a probabilistic likelihood ratio predictive of whether a missense variant impairs protein function, and was predicted to have a deleterious effect (Karchin R et al. Cancer Inform. 2008 Apr;6:203-16). This variant was non-functional in a homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay (Guidugli L et al. Cancer Res. 2013 Jan;73:265-75; Guidugli L et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2018 Jan; Hart SN et al. Genet. Med., 2019 01;21:71-80). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 8405A>G in published literature. Based on internal structural analysis, this variant is anticipated to result in a significant decrease in structural stability (Yang H et al. Science 2002 Sep;297:1837-48; Ambry Internal Data). As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000130671 SCV002053651 likely pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-09-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This missense variant replaces tyrosine with cysteine at codon 2726 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have reported that this variant impact BRCA2 function in homology-mediated repair assay (PMID: 23108138, 29394989, 33609447, 35736817) and stable expression in and rescue of Brca2-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells (PMID: 33293522). This variant has been reported in at least two individuals affected with breast cancer (PMID: 25452441, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_000294) and suspected hereditary breast and ovarian cancer families (PMID: 27495310, 29339979) and an individual affected with prostate cancer (PMID: 33293522). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000045442 SCV004039112 likely pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-08-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8177A>G (p.Tyr2726Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB1 (IPR015187) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250998 control chromosomes. c.8177A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (Examples: Couch_2015, Jarhelle_2016, Nurmi_2022, Cunningham_2014) and a patient with Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (O'Reily_2018). One publication reports experimental evidence demonstrating it's inability to rescue cell lethality in a null cell line (Biswas_2020) and several report damaging impact on homology-mediated repair assay (Examples: Guidugli_2018, Richardson_2021). The HDR assay qualifies as a standardized gold-standard assay on the basis of the updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) Working Group (Brnich_2019). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 20215541, 19043619, 33293522, 25452441, 24504028, 23108138, 24323938, 29394989, 27495310, 36551643, 29338080, 33609447). Seven submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classify as VUS (n=1), likely pathogenic (n=5) and pathogenic (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000212271 SCV004220591 likely pathogenic not provided 2023-02-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000087 (1/114620 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is consistent with pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with prostate cancer (PMID: 32875559 (2020)), and hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 25452441 (2015), 27495310 (2016), 28888541 (2017), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). Functional studies have demonstrated this variant to be non-functional due to deficient homology-directed repair (HDR) (PMIDs: 23108138 (2013), 29394989 (2018), 35736817 (2022)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic.
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000212271 SCV004565188 pathogenic not provided 2023-01-04 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The BRCA2 c.8177A>G; p.Tyr2726Cys variant (rs80359064) is reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA2-associated cancers (Couch 2015, Heramb 2018, Lilyquist 2017, Wokolorczyk 2020), and reported to have impaired homology-directed repair activity (Guidugli 2018, Hu 2022). This variant is also reported by multiple laboratories in ClinVar (Variation ID: 52520). It is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. Computational analyses predict that this variant is deleterious (REVEL: 0.928). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic. References: Couch FJ et al.
