Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_001407853.1(BRCA1):c.2+2T>G variant causes a splice donor, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 1/1 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★).
BRCA1 (HGNC:1100): (BRCA1 DNA repair associated) This gene encodes a 190 kD nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The BRCA1 gene contains 22 exons spanning about 110 kb of DNA. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 7.8, offset of 22, new splice context is: aagGTatat. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant disrupts the p.Cys64 amino acid residue in BRCA1. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15131401, 22034289, 23397983, 18489799, 19949876, 25085752, 19287957, 24516540, 23867111, 23161852, 12915465, 23161852, 23867111, 7894491, 21042765). This suggests that this residue is clinically-significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. This variant affects the highly conserved Cys64 residue within the N-terminal RING domain of the BRCA1 protein (PMID: 22843421). This variant has been reported to affect BRCA1 protein function (PMID: 30209399). This variant has been observed in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 27257965), and in a family with breast cancer (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224427). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces cysteine with tryptophan at codon 64 of the BRCA1 protein (p.Cys64Trp). The cysteine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between cysteine and tryptophan. -
