The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.1211A>C (p.Asn404Thr) 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 is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.N404I: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 51082); p.N404= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 2766627, 1 star); p.N404S: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 224455)

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 1 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 = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
	B3Computational evidence does not support deleterious effect		Computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect; Missense variant — primary computational scorer does not support an oncogenic/deleterious effect; supports B3
