The variant received 22 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PVS1PS3PM2PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.610delC (p.Ser205ValfsTer6) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The variant is absent from the gnomAD population database at sites with sufficient sequencing coverage. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV003934809: Experimental evidence from one publication has shown that alternative splicing of BRCA2 can restore the ORF, specifically when the variant of interest is found on a transcript missing exon 5, which typically results in a frameshift (Stauffer_2020).".

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]

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 22 points.

PVS1Null variant in LOF gene
Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF disease mechanism — very strong (PVS1); Frameshift (exon 7 of 27) at amino acid 204 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 ~209 amino acids (3209 amino acids lost).
PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV003934809: Experimental evidence from one publication has shown that alternative splicing of BRCA2 can restore the ORF, specifically when the variant of interest is found on a transcript missing exon 5, which typically results in a frameshift (Stauffer_2020).
PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases
Absent from gnomAD (AD/XL gene) — PM2; Absent from gnomAD at well-covered site (MOI: AD+AR) (base 0.0001, raised to 0.000139 by highest known P/LP ClinVar AF 0.000139) — PM2 moderate.
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 (10/10 total P/LP).
