Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:3
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu1952*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is present in population databases (rs375064902, gnomAD 0.007%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with increased risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 38002). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Leu1952X variant in BRCA2 has been reported in 1 individual with increased risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer (HBOC; Rebbeck 2018 PMID:29446198) and has also been reported by other clinical laboratories in ClinVar (Variant ID 38002). It was absent from large population studies (gnomAD, v.3.1.2). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1952, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in individuals with HBOC. Additionally, this variant was classified as pathogenic on Sept. 08, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar: SCV000300942.2). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant HBOC.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
The p.L1952* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.5855T>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 5855. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration was identified in two different cohorts unselected for cancer history in unaffected individuals and in one individual with a personal history of breast and ovarian cancers at age 29 (Dorschner MO et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2013 Oct;93:631-40; Natarajan P et al. Sci Transl Med, 2016 Nov;8:364ra151). An alteration resulting in the same stop codon, p.L1952* (6083insAGTT), has also been reported in 1/294 women diagnosed with breast cancer and 0/346 female controls from the Philippines (De Leon Matsuda ML et al, Int. J. Cancer 2002 Apr; 98(4):596-603 ). In addition to the information presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
