To study the role of BRCA2 mis-splicing in hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (HBOC), we performed a comprehensive analysis of variants from BRCA2 exons 2-9, as well as the initial characterization of the regulatory mechanisms of such exons. A pSAD-based minigene with exons 2-9 was constructed and validated in MCF-7 cells, producing the expected transcript (1016-nt/V1-BRCA2_exons_2-9-V2). DNA variants from mutational databases were analyzed by NNSplice and Human Splicing Finder softwares. To refine ESE-variant prediction, we mapped the regulatory regions through a functional strategy whereby 26 exonic microdeletions were introduced into the minigene and tested in MCF-7 cells. Thus, we identified nine spliceogenic ESE-rich intervals where ESE-variants may be located. Combining bioinformatics and microdeletion assays, 83 variants were selected and genetically engineered in the minigene. Fifty-three changes impaired splicing: 28 variants disrupted the canonical sites, four created new ones, 10 abrogated enhancers, eight created silencers and three caused a double-effect. Notably, nine spliceogenic-ESE variants were located within ESE-containing intervals. Capillary electrophoresis and sequencing revealed more than 23 aberrant transcripts, where exon skipping was the most common event. Interestingly, variant c.67G>A triggered the usage of a noncanonical GC-donor 4-nt upstream. Thirty-six variants that induced severe anomalies (>60% aberrant transcripts) were analyzed according to the ACMG guidelines. Thus, 28 variants were classified as pathogenic, five as likely pathogenic and three as variants of uncertain significance. Interestingly, 13 VUS were reclassified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants. In conclusion, a large fraction of BRCA2 variants (∼64%) provoked splicing anomalies lending further support to the high prevalence of this disease-mechanism. The low accuracy of ESE-prediction algorithms may be circumvented by functional ESE-mapping that represents an optimal strategy to identify spliceogenic ESE-variants. Finally, systematic functional assays by minigenes depict a valuable tool for the initial characterization of splicing anomalies and the clinical interpretation of variants. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1002/path.5268 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/196484 | DOI: | 10.1002/path.5268 | ISSN: | 0022-3417 | E-ISSN: | 1096-9896 |
