The variant received 3 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_ModerateO6_Supporting

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.7464A>C (p.Arg2488Ser) variant causes a missense 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 allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.000000684 (AC=1) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,704 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000000899. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain Significance (no review stars). Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.R2488G: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 462440); p.R2488K: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 52336); p.R2488= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 4215296, 1 star); p.R2488= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 3669829, 1 star); p.R2488T: Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 1759029, 1 star)

Genes affected

BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) The product of this gene in involved in maintenance of genome stability. It is involved in double-strand break repair pathways during mitotic and meiotic homologous recombination and functions in protecting DNA replication forks. The encoded protein contains sites for interactions with PALB2 and EMSY and an N-terminal DNA binding domain. It also contains a RAD51 binding domain with multiple components. It has multiple BRC repeats, an alpha helix domain, oligonucleotide binding folds, and a tower-like domain. It has a nuclear localization signal and a phosphorylation site for cyclin-dependent kinase. The C-terminus of the protein can bind single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The product of this gene interacts with multiple proteins, including RAD51. It is involved in recruiting RAD51 filaments to DNA double-strand break sites and also in cytoplasmic division. It also acts as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene or decreased expression have been implicated in multiple tumor types, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate and other cancers.

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.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	O3Absent or very rare in population		Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = 0.000001, AC = 1 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	O6Computational evidence supports deleterious effect		Computational evidence supports a deleterious/oncogenic effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer supports an oncogenic/deleterious effect
