not provided Benign:6
In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21990134, 24055113, 22848303, 15744044, 24323938, 25637381, 26689913, 17924331, 28814288, 32926152)
The BRCA2 p.Leu1904Val variant was identified in 3 of 638 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.005) from individuals or families with breast cancer and was not identified in 148 control chromosomes from healthy individuals (Fackenthal 2005, Zhou 2005, Diez 2011). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs55875643) as "With Uncertain significance, other allele", ClinVar (classified as benign by ENIGMA, Counsyl, Invitae, Ambry Genetics, SCRP and one other clinical laboratory; as likely benign by GeneDx and four other clinical laboratories; and as uncertain significance by BIC), GeneInsight-COGR, MutDB, LOVD 3.0 (4x predicted neutral), UMD-LSDB (10x as likely neutral), BIC Database (8x with unknown significance), and ARUP Laboratories Database (not pathogenic or of no clinical significance). The variant was identified with the following co-occurring pathogenic variants: BRCA2 c.1813dup, p.Ile605Asnfs*11 (UMD database), BRCA1 c.1949_1950delTA, p.Ile650Lysfs*22 (Diez 2011), and BRCA2 c.7806-?_8632+?dup, p.Glu2878Glyfs*46 (our laboratory), increasing the likelihood that the p.Leu1904Val variant does not have clinical significance. The variant was not identified in Cosmic or the Zhejiang University database. The variant was identified in control databases in 14 of 276606 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00005 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 10 of 23996 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), Other in 1 of 6450 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 1 of 34388 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), and European in 2 of 126282 chromosomes (freq: 0.00002), while the variant was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish, or South Asian populations. The p.Leu1904 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 3 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. The information in the literature is conflicting and limited to in silico models (Easton 2007, Lindor 2012, Guidugli 2014, Zhou 2005). In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign.
Variant summary: The BRCA2 c.5710C>G (p.Leu1904Val) variant causes a missense change involving a non-conserved nucleotide with 4/4 in silico tools (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index) predict a benign outcome, although these predictions have yet to be functionally assessed. The variant of interest was observed in the large, broad control population, ExAC, with an allele frequency of 5/120788 (1/24160), which does not exceed the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic BRCA2 variant of 1/1333. Multiple publications and databases cite the variant in affected individuals, in which multiple individuals carried another pathogenic BRCA2 variant (c.3922G>T (p.Glu1308X), c.1813dup (p.Ile605AsnfsX11)) and BRCA1 (c.5324T>G (p.Met1775Arg - classified as pathogenic by LCA) and c.1949_1950delTA (p.Ile650LysfsX22)). In addition, multiple reputable clinical laboratories classify the variant as "likely benign/benign." Therefore, the variant of interest has been classified as Benign.
not specified Benign:2
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2
This alteration is classified as 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.
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Benign:2
The missense variant NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.5710C>G (p.Leu1904Val) has been reported to ClinVar as Benign with a status of (3 stars) reviewed by expert panel (Variation ID 37990 as of 2025-03-07). The p.Leu1904Val variant is not predicted to introduce a novel splice site by any splice site algorithm. The p.Leu1904Val missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by both SIFT or PolyPhen2. The nucleotide c.5710 in BRCA2 is not conserved according to a GERP++ and PhyloP analysis of 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Benign
