The variant received 20 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PVS1_ModeratePS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.7806-2A>G variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. This is a canonical splice-site variant (loss-of-function). 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 damaging/oncogenic. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.18). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000073334: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID:10449599, 12461697" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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

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: Pathogenic. The variant received 20 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PVS1Null variant in LOF gene		In-frame splice: disease mechanism, limited domain evidence — moderate (PVS1 downgraded to PM); Splice acceptor variant predicted to cause an in-frame change; loss of function is a known disease mechanism, but domain evidence is limited.
	PS1Same amino acid change as known pathogenic		Splice site has a more-destructive ClinVar pathogenic — strong (PS1); A more pathogenic splice-site variant at the same position has been reported in ClinVar.
	PS3Functional studies show damaging effect		Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV000073334: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 10449599, 12461697; internal data).; SCV006311024: Experimental studies have shown that this splice site change leads to aberrant splicing (PMID:10449599, 12461697).; SCV000592147: mini-gene splicing assays show the variant to have a severe impact on splicing (Houdayer 2012).; SCV000296681: Functional studies have confirmed that this variant leads to aberrant splicing. PMID:28339459 (2017), 10449599 (1999)
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD+AR) (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000139 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000139) — PM2 moderate.
	PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic		ClinVar ≥3 stars pathogenic — very strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 3 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (25/25 total P/LP).
