The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.9285C>G (p.Asp3095Glu) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.00000137 (AC=2) in the gnomAD database across 1,461,362 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000003. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000073792: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID:18451181, 22678057, 23108138)." 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.D3095G: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 409512) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.D3095A: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1330142, 1 star); p.D3095= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 184910, 3 stars) This exact variant is established as oncogenic in: CGI (Cancer Genome Interpreter). This exact variant is curated in the UniProt human variants database as Uncertain Significance; it is also listed as a COSMIC curated somatic variant.

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 21 points.

PS1Same amino acid change as known pathogenic
Same AA change, ≥2-star ClinVar pathogenic — very strong (PS1); ClinVar contains 1 P/LP entry with the same amino acid change (highest review level: 2 stars).
PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV000073792: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID: 18451181, 22678057, 23108138).; SCV000695233: In these functional studies the variant was shown to cause significantly reduced HDR activity, increased aberrant centriole amplification, and reduced cell viability in null-rescue survival assays (example: Farrugia_2008, Biswas_2012, Guidugli_2012, Hart_2018, Mesman_2018, Ikegami_2020).; SCV001478279: The variant has a probability of pathogenicity of 1.0 (PS3_strong).; SCV006311323: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects BRCA2 function (PMID:18451181, 22678057, 23108138).; SCV000276898: A homology-directed DNA repair (HDR) assay has demonstrated this variant to be non-functional (Guidugli L et al. Am J Hum Genet 2018 02;102(2):233-248; Hart SN et al. Genet Med, 2019 01;21:71-80; Richardson ME et al. Am J Hum Genet 2021 03;108(3):458-468).; SCV000684048: Functional studies have shown that this variant disrupts homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 18451181, 23108138, 29884841, 33609447) and fails to complement cell lethality phenotype induced by loss of BRCA2 in mouse embryonic stem cell-based assays (PMID: 24323938, 29988080, 37922907).; SCV000292530: Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: reduced homology-directed repair (HDR) activity, aberrant centriole amplification, failure to rescue lethality of Brca2 null ES cells (Farruguia et al., 2008; Biswas et al., 2012; Guidugli et al., 2013; Ikegami et al., 2020; Richardson et al., 2021); SCV000600853: Published functional studies have shown that this variant results in a deleterious effect on BRCA2 protein function (PMID: 22678057 (2012), 29394989 (2018), 29988080 (2018)).; SCV005425843: Functional studies have shown that this variant disrupts homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 18451181, 23108138, 29884841) and fails to complement cell lethality phenotype induced by loss of BRCA2 in mouse embryonic stem cell-based assays (PMID: 24323938, 29988080).
PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases
Very rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF < threshold/10) — PM2; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000003 — very rare for AD+AR gene (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.D3095G: Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity (ClinVar VariationId 409512); Other variants at the same amino acid residue (not pathogenic): p.D3095A: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1330142, 1 star); p.D3095= (synonymous): Likely_benign (ClinVar VariationId 184910, 3 stars)
PP3Computational evidence supports damaging effect
Germline meta computational scorer (REVEL/MetaRNN/BayesDel) predicts damaging effect — supporting evidence (PP3); Splicing verdict: not pathogenic.; Germline computational verdict: pathogenic (Supporting).
PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic
ClinVar 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (14/15 total P/LP).
