The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.3847_3848delGT (p.Val1283LysfsTer2) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000407 (AC=63) in the gnomAD database across 1,549,192 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000681. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★).

Genes affected

BRCA2 (HGNC:1101): (BRCA2 DNA repair associated) The product of this gene in involved in maintenance of genome stability. It is involved in double-strand break repair pathways during mitotic and meiotic homologous recombination and functions in protecting DNA replication forks. The encoded protein contains sites for interactions with PALB2 and EMSY and an N-terminal DNA binding domain. It also contains a RAD51 binding domain with multiple components. It has multiple BRC repeats, an alpha helix domain, oligonucleotide binding folds, and a tower-like domain. It has a nuclear localization signal and a phosphorylation site for cyclin-dependent kinase. The C-terminus of the protein can bind single-stranded and double-stranded DNA. The product of this gene interacts with multiple proteins, including RAD51. It is involved in recruiting RAD51 filaments to DNA double-strand break sites and also in cytoplasmic division. It also acts as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in this gene or decreased expression have been implicated in multiple tumor types, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate and other cancers.

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Specifications for BRCA2 are available in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry and recommended for reference when assigning criteria.

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 17 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PVS1Null variant in LOF gene		Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF disease mechanism — very strong (PVS1); Frameshift (exon 11 of 27) at amino acid 1283 of 3418, predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss of function is a known disease mechanism for this gene. A new stop codon is introduced in the shifted frame, truncating the protein to ~1283 amino acids (2135 amino acids lost).
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000681 — borderline rare for AD+AR gene (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000139 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000139) — PM2 supporting.
	PP5Reputable source reports pathogenic		ClinVar ≥3 stars pathogenic — very strong (PP5); ClinVar submissions overwhelmingly pathogenic (≥10 total, ≥80% P/LP, <10% B/LB) — strong (PP5, count-based); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 3 star(s). ClinVar submissions strongly and reliably favor pathogenicity (61/61 total P/LP).
