The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.8009C>T (p.Ser2670Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000248 (AC=4) in the gnomAD database across 1,613,428 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.000208. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 7.50). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000073398: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID:19043619, 29394989, 32444794)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.S2670W: Pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 489785, 3 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.S2670P: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1001575, 2 stars); p.S2670= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 183837, 3 stars) This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

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.
