Submissions by phenotype
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:1
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8737G>C (p.Asp2913His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.1e-05 in 282592 control chromosomes (gnomAD v2.1). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.8737G>C in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome has been reported. A co-occurrence with another pathogenic variant has been reported (BRCA1 c.815_824dupAGCCATGTGG, p.Thr276fsX14; in the UMD BRCA2 database), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Publications reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated a mild impact on BRCA2 function, representing an activity comparable to wild-type, or a somewhat hypomorphic allele (e.g. Hart_2018, Ikegami_2020). Three other clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, and classified the variant as VUS (n=2) or likely benign (n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -
BRCA2-related disorder Uncertain:1
The BRCA2 c.8737G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Asp2913His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.012% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
not provided Uncertain:1
The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.00012 (3/24952 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. This variant has been reported to co-occur with a pathogenic variant in the BRCA1 gene (BRCA Share (http://www.umd.be/)), suggesting it may not be the primary cause of disease. In the published literature, functional studies indicate this variant has neutral to intermediate effects on BRCA2 homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMIDs: 33609447 (2021), 32444794 (2020), 29884841 (2019)). Additional analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Familial cancer of breast Uncertain:1
- -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Uncertain:1
This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 2913 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Asp2913His). This variant is present in population databases (rs144322424, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 231585). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (PMID: 33609447) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt BRCA2 function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect BRCA2 function (PMID: 29884841, 32444794). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
