Ambry Genetics RCV000216791 SCV000274881 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-10-25 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.W2788* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8364G>A), located in coding exon 18 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 8364. This changes the amino acid from a tryptophan to a stop codon within coding exon 18. This mutation has been detected in multiple individuals with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Thomassen et al. Acta Oncol 2008;47(4):772-7; Lecarpentier J et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012 Jul;14:R99; Sun et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2017 Oct;23(20):6113-6119; Labidi-Galy et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2018 01;24(2):326-333; Rebbeck et al. Hum. Mutat. 2018 05;39(5):593-620; Bhaskaran et al. Int. J. Cancer 2019 Aug;145(4):962-973; Fostira et al. J. Med. Genet. 2019 Jul; Wang et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med 2019 Jun;7(6):e677). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 8592G>A 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 RCV000216791 SCV000906578 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2020-01-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant changes 1 nucleotide in exon 19 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified 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.

Invitae RCV000496647 SCV001588176 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-08-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Trp2788*) 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 has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52566). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Johns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins University RCV000241319 SCV001711931 pathogenic Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 2021-05-20 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This BRCA2 nonsense variant has been reported in multiple individuals affected with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. It results in a premature stop codon in exon 19 likely leading to nonsense-mediated decay and lack of protein production. This variant is absent from a large population database and has an entry in ClinVar. We consider c.8364G>A to be pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000496647 SCV003844377 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-02-06 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8364G>A (p.Trp2788X) 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. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant was absent in 251424 control chromosomes. c.8364G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (example, Rebbeck_2018). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories, an expert panel (ENIGMA) and a consortium (CIMBA) have submitted 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.
