The variant received 22 classification points (ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019). PVS1PS1PS3PM2PP5_Strong

The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.7977-1G>A variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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. In-silico predictor (BayesDel (noAF)) classifies this variant as likely damaging/oncogenic. The affected nucleotide is highly conserved across species (PhyloP 100-way vertebrate score: 9.52). Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV001589417: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID:16211554, 22006311, 28339459, 32398771" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar.

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
Splice site frameshift, NMD predicted, LoF disease mechanism — very strong (PVS1); Splice acceptor variant predicted to cause a frameshift, triggering NMD. Loss of function is a known disease mechanism for this gene.
PS1Same amino acid change as known pathogenic
Splice site has a more-destructive ClinVar pathogenic — strong (PS1); A more pathogenic splice-site variant at the same position has been reported in ClinVar.
PS3Functional studies show damaging effect
Well-established functional study supports damaging effect (PS3); SCV001589417: Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 16211554, 22006311, 28339459, 32398771; Invitae).
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 2-star pathogenic — strong (PP5); ClinVar germline classification: Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic, 2 star(s).
