The variant received 18 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PS3PM2PM5PP3_ModeratePP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.8009C>G (p.Ser2670Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. 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: "SCV000683934: An RNA study reported that this variant caused leaky out-of-frame skipping of exon 18 in a minigene splicing assay (PMID:28339459)." 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.S2670L: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 52471, 2 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)

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: Pathogenic. The variant received 18 points.

PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV000683934: An RNA study reported that this variant caused leaky out-of-frame skipping of exon 18 in a minigene splicing assay (PMID: 28339459).; SCV005030332: This variant was deleterious in a drug sensitivity protein functional assay (Ikegami M et al. Nat Commun, 2020 May;11:2573).
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.
PM5Novel missense at known pathogenic residue
Different pathogenic missense at same AA residue in ClinVar (PM5); ClinVar contains a germline Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic entry at the same amino acid position with a different amino acid change: p.S2670L: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 52471, 2 stars); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.S2670P: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1001575, 2 stars); p.S2670= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 183837, 3 stars)
PP3Computational evidence supports damaging effect
Germline meta computational scorer (REVEL/MetaRNN/BayesDel) predicts damaging effect — moderate evidence (PP3); Splicing verdict: not pathogenic.; Germline computational verdict: pathogenic (Moderate).
PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic
ClinVar ≥3 stars pathogenic — very strong (PP5); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 3 star(s).
