Breast cancer 2, early onset (BRCA2) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions in maintaining genomic stability and as a tumor suppressor. Missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, whole gene deletions, frameshift deletions and insertions, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and stomach cancer.

BRCA2 is altered in 5.02% of all cancers with colon adenocarcinoma, lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, prostate adenocarcinoma, and endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

BRCA2 GENIE Cases - Top Diseases

The most common alterations in BRCA2 are BRCA2 Mutation (3.77%), BRCA2 Nonsense (0.48%), BRCA2 Loss (0.26%), BRCA2 Amplification (0.25%), and BRCA2 Fusion (0.08%) [3].
