Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4_StrongBP6
The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.8687G>A(p.Arg2896His) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000105 in 1,613,966 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/19 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R2896R) has been classified as Likely benign.

The BRCA2 c.8687G>A (p.Arg2896His) missense change has a maximum frequency of 0.006152% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/13-32950861-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r2_1). Seven of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. This variant has been reported in 1 woman older than 70 years of age who have never had cancer (https://whi.color.com/variant/13-32950861-G-A). This variant was reported in an individual with prostate cancer (PMID: 34242281). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1Benign:2
This alteration is classified as likely 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. -

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8687G>A (p.Arg2896His) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the tower domain within the OB2 fold (Karchin_2008) in the DNA binding region of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 252456 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.8687G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (e.g. Lu_2012, Farra_2019, Salmi_2021), but was found also in healthy controls (e.g. Johnston_2012, and in the FLOSSIES database). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. At least one publication reported experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function, and demonstrated that the variant protein had a similar activity to the wild type in a homology-directed repair assay (Karchin_2008). The HDR assay qualifies as a standardized gold-standard assay on the basis of the updated guidance provided by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation (SVI) Working Group (Brnich_2019). ClinGen SVI now recognizes benign functional evidence as sufficient for likely benign (Tavtigian_2018). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22703879, 19043619, 22476429, 25348012, 31131967, 30675319, 34242281). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 41568). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

The p.Arg2896His variant is listed 3 times in the BIC database. It is listed in dbSNP database as coming from a "clinical source" (ID#: rs80359128) but no frequency information was provided, and so the frequency in the general population is not known. The p.Arg289 residue is not highly conserved in mammals and the variant amino acid histidine (His) is present in rat, mouse and chicken, increasing the likelihood this variant does not have important functional or clinical signficance. In addition, computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen2, and AlignGVGD) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein, but this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In addition, one in-silico study reported this variant as neutral (Karchin 2008). In summary, based on the current information presented above, this variant is predicted benign. -
