The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.2524G>C (p.Val842Leu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000559 (AC=9) in the gnomAD database across 1,610,388 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.00009. In-silico predictor (REVEL) 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 (no review stars). Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.V842A: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 1918672); p.V842= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 236841, 3 stars); p.V842= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 185410, 3 stars)

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 ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

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

PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases
Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.00009 — borderline rare for AD+AR gene (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000139 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000139) — PM2 supporting.
BP4Computational evidence suggests no impact
Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Moderate).
BP6Reputable source reports benign
ClinVar 0-star benign — supporting (BP6); ClinVar germline classification: Benign/Likely Benign, 0 star(s).
