Ambry Genetics RCV000218535 SCV000277017 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2023-12-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.891_899delAACAGTTGTins10 variant, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from the deletion of 9 nucleotides and insertion of 10 nucleotides causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.T298Ifs*7). This alteration was identified in 1/10030 consecutive patients referred for evaluation by an NGS hereditary cancer panel (Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med., 2016 08;18:823-32). 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.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000461715 SCV000549682 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-03-29 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Thr298Ilefs*7) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312), as well as several individuals in the Breast Cancer Information Core database (PMID: 10923033). This variant is also known as c.891_899delAACAGTTGTinsGATACTTCAG in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 125928). A different variant (c.893_899delCAGTTGTinsTACTTCAG) giving rise to the same protein effect observed here (p.Thr298Ilefs*7) has been reported in an individual affected with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 27798748), indicating that this residue may be critical for protein function. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000218535 SCV000905001 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2020-01-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is located in the BRCA2 protein. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may not impact RNA splicing. 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.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000461715 SCV000918927 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-06-15 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.891_899delinsGATACTTCAG (p.Thr298IlefsX7) 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 (eg., p.Asn319fsX8 and p.Lys343fsX6). The variant was absent in 235816 control chromosomes. c.891_899delinsGATACTTCAG has been reported in the literature and reputable databases in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer. 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. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano RCV000160265 SCV001133954 pathogenic not provided 2024-06-12 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The BRCA2 c.891_899delinsGATACTTCAG (p.Thr298Ilefs*7) variant alters the translational reading frame of the BRCA2 mRNA and causes the premature termination of BRCA2 protein synthesis. This variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 26681312 (2015), 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/BRCA2)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
