Variant summary
The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.1813delA (p.Ile605TyrfsTer9) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The gene BRCA2 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 139 TSG, 7 oncogene, 19 driver citations). The gene BRCA2 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 139 TSG, 7 oncogene, 19 driver citations). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000066 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 151,588 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000193. Note: a gnomAD entry for this variant shows a statistical allele-bias signature, consistent with mosaic/somatic contamination (e.g. age-related clonal hematopoiesis) rather than true inherited population frequency — this frequency should not be read as evidence of a common, benign germline variant. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). The variant has been observed in cBioPortal in 77 samples across 26 studies and 18 cancer types; somatic enrichment level: MODERATE (Observed in many cases across multiple studies/cancer contexts.).

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025
Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 14 points.
| Apply | Criterion Code & Title / Strength | Rationale / Clinical Context | |
|---|---|---|---|
| O1Established oncogenic variant | TSG gene: ClinVar germline P/LP ★★+ — Moderate (O1); O1 contributing sources (2.0 pts): ClinVar germline P/LP in TSG (★★★) | ||
| O2Null variant in tumour suppressor gene | Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF oncogenic mechanism — O2 very strong (+8); Use caution in the presence of multiple transcripts; Gene confirmed as TSG in CancerMine (TSG: 139 citations, oncogene: 7 citations, driver: 19 citations).; Frameshift/stop-gained. NMD predicted: true. LoF mechanism: true. Downstream pathogenic count: 4632. | ||
| O3Absent or very rare in population | Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = 0.000193, AC = 1 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2]) | ||
