Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 15 ACMG points: 15P and 0B. PS3 PM2 PP3 PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):​c.8487+3A>G variant causes a splice region, intron change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,457,264 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000592200: Functional analysis of the variant was performed by lymphocyte RT-PCR and hybrid minigene assays in study by Acedo (2012); the result of the c.8487+3A>G variant was found to be exon 19 skipping.; SCV000668580: RNA analyses have found that this alteration causes aberrant splicing leading to skipping of coding exon 18 (Ambry internal data; Acedo A et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012 May 25;14(3):R87).; SCV001133937: A splicing functional assay, however, showed that this variant results in exon 19 skipping and a significant reduction of the canonical transcript. PMID:22632462 (2012); SCV005361042: RT-PCR studies suggest this variant impacts mRNA splicing and results in in-frame skipping of exon 19 (Acedo et al. 2012. PubMed ID: 22632462).".

Genes affected

BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and this gene, BRCA2, confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair. The largest exon in both genes is exon 11, which harbors the most important and frequent mutations in breast cancer patients. The BRCA2 gene was found on chromosome 13q12.3 in human. The BRCA2 protein contains several copies of a 70 aa motif called the BRC motif, and these motifs mediate binding to the RAD51 recombinase which functions in DNA repair. BRCA2 is considered a tumor suppressor gene, as tumors with BRCA2 mutations generally exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the wild-type allele. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]
