Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
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. -
Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome Pathogenic:1
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. -
