Description

The c.5946delT pathogenic mutation is located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene and is one of the well-described Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations. This mutation results from a deletion of one nucleotide at position 5946, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S1982Rfs*22). This mutation has been reported in numerous families affected with breast, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, and other HBOC-related cancers (Agalliu I et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2009 Feb;15:1112-20; Walsh T et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2011 Nov;108:18032-7; Johnston JJ et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2012 Jul;91:97-108; Bayraktar S et al. Cancer. 2012 Mar;118:1515-22; George J et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2013 Jul;19:3474-84; Lucas AL et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2013 Jul;19:3396-403; Salo-Mullen EE et al. Cancer. 2015 Dec;121:4382-8; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). Another study indicated that carriers of the c.5946delT mutation may have a lower relative risk for breast cancer when compared to carriers of other non-Ashkenazi Jewish BRCA2 mutations (Finkelman BS et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2012 Apr;30:1321-8). This mutation is also designated as 6174delT 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 (also known as 6174delT) deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 11 of the BRCA2 gene, causing a frameshift and a premature translational stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant is a well-known founder mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and occurs at 0.6-1.52% minor allele frequency (PMID: 30152102). This variant has been reported in numerous individuals affected with breast and ovarian cancer in Ashkenazi Jewish population (PMID: 8673092, 9042909, 9150153, 15994883, 22430266, 30152102), as well as in non-Ashkenazi Jewish population. The risk of female breast cancer among carriers of this mutation is 43-55% by age 70, and the risk of ovarian cancer is 18-37% by age 70 (PMID: 9145676, 15994883, 22430266). This variant has been identified in 78/282088 chromosomes in the general population (61/10364 Ashkenazi Jewish chromosomes) by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

Description

This variant is also known as c.6174delT using alternate nomenclature. This variant is known as a founder mutation in the Ashkenazi Jewish population (PMID: 20301425) and has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in multiple individuals with a personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer, among other types of cancer (PMID: 20301425, 29084914, 29433453, 2644092, 29321669, 28767289). Based on the available evidence, the c.5946delT (p.Ser1982ArgfsTer22) variant is classified as pathogenic.
