Genes affected
BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and this gene, BRCA2, confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair. The largest exon in both genes is exon 11, which harbors the most important and frequent mutations in breast cancer patients. The BRCA2 gene was found on chromosome 13q12.3 in human. The BRCA2 protein contains several copies of a 70 aa motif called the BRC motif, and these motifs mediate binding to the RAD51 recombinase which functions in DNA repair. BRCA2 is considered a tumor suppressor gene, as tumors with BRCA2 mutations generally exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the wild-type allele. [provided by RefSeq, May 2020]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.015209125 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 5.6, offset of 14, new splice context is: gtcccgatttctgctaacAGtac. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 13-32370400-A-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr13-32370400-A-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 531215.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.8332-2A>C intronic variant results from an A to C substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 18 in the BRCA2 gene. This alteration was identified in a cohort of 4215 high-risk breast cancer patients tested for the BRCA1/2 genes (Bang YJ et al. Cancer Res Treat, 2022 Jul;54:827-833). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as likely pathogenic. -

Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 18 of the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with BRCA2-related disease. -
