Description

The c.6408_6414delAAATGTT pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of 7 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 6408 to 6414, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.N2137Kfs*29). This mutations has been reported in an Estonian family affected with breast, ovarian, prostate and gastric cancers, a Danish family with multiple cases of prostate cancer and an individual with both male breast cancer and prostate cancer, and in a cohort of 8085 consecutive unselected Chinese breast cancer patients who underwent multi-gene panel testing (Tamboom K et al. Hered Cancer Clin Pract. 2010 Apr 9;8(1):4; Roed Nielsen H et al. Acta Oncol. 2016 Sep;55:38-44; Sun J et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2017 Oct;23:6113-6119). Of note, this alteration is also designated as c.6631delTTAAATG and c.6406_6412del 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.

Description

This variant deletes 7 nucleotides in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is also known as 6636delAAATGTT, c.6406_6412del, and c.6631delTTAAATG in the literature. 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, and prostate cancer (PMID: 20380699, 24549055, 25066507, 26360800, 28724667, 32772980, 34680878), and has been identified in 8 families among the CIMBA participants (PMID: 29446198) (https://cimba.ccge.medschl.cam.ac.uk/). 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.
