Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points: 0P and 3B. BP4_ModerateBP6
The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.6541G>C(p.Gly2181Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000747 in 1,607,092 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely benign in ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G2181G) has been classified as Likely benign.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:1Benign:2 
The p.G2181R variant (also known as c.6541G>C), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 6541. The glycine at codon 2181 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

not specified    Uncertain:1Benign:1 
Variant summary: BRCA2 c.6541G>C (p.Gly2181Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.1e-06 in 244056 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.6541G>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six ClinVar submissions (evaluation after 2014) cites the variant twice as likely benign and four times as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2    Uncertain:1Benign:1 
The BRCA2 c.6541G>C (p.Gly2181Arg) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.012% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. This variant is absent in a database of women older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (FLOSSIES database, https://whi.color.com/). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer or Fanconi anemia. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

BRCA2-related disorder    Uncertain:1 
The BRCA2 c.6541G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly2181Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in association with disease in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.012% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar, ranging from likely benign to uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/38051/). This variant occurs within a region of the BRCA2 gene that is predicted to be tolerant to missense variation (Table 2, Dines et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 31911673). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
not provided    Uncertain:1 
The BRCA2 c.6541G>C (p.Gly2181Arg) variant has not been reported in individuals with BRCA2-related conditions in the published literature. However, the variant has been described to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/24512 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
