Ratios of $B(E2)$ to $B(IS2)$, that is, of the reduced quadrupole transition probabilities related, respectively, to charge and mass were extracted through Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) for the excitation of the ${2}_{1}^{+}$ states in $^{70,72,74}\mathrm{Ge}$, with a relative accuracy of less than 4%. For this purpose, the CNI angular distributions associated with the inelastic scattering of 28-MeV incident $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ ions accelerated by the S\~ao Paulo Pelletron, and momentum analyzed by the Enge magnetic spectrograph were interpreted within the DWBA-DOMP approach (distorted wave approximation for the scattering process and deformed optical model for the structure representation) with global $^{6}\mathrm{Li}$ optical parameters. The present CNI results demonstrate an abrupt change in the $B(E2)/B(IS2)$ ratio for $^{74}\mathrm{Ge}$: although for $^{70,72}\mathrm{Ge}$, values of the order of 1.0 or slightly higher were obtained, this ratio is 0.66 (7) for $^{74}\mathrm{Ge}$. The heavier Ge isotope is thus one of the few nuclei that, so far, have been shown to present clear mixed symmetry components in their ground-state band.
