The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.9477C>T (p.Phe3159Phe) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. 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 is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign/Likely Benign (★).

Genes affected

BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and this gene, BRCA2, confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair. The largest exon in both genes is exon 11, which harbors the most important and frequent mutations in breast cancer patients. The BRCA2 gene was found on chromosome 13q12.3 in human. The BRCA2 protein contains several copies of a 70 aa motif called the BRC motif, and these motifs mediate binding to the RAD51 recombinase which functions in DNA repair. BRCA2 is considered a tumor suppressor gene, as tumors with BRCA2 mutations generally exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the wild-type allele. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Specifications for BRCA2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -2 points.

• O3: Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
• B4: Synonymous/intronic variant with confirmed no splicing impact (B4 strong); Synonymous variant — splicing algorithms confirm no impact on splicing (B4 strong [-4])
