The NM_000059.4(BRCA2):c.4383_4384delCT (p.Leu1462LysfsTer3) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant is predicted to lead to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The gene BRCA2 is a tumor suppressor gene (CancerMine: 139 TSG, 7 oncogene, 19 driver citations). The gene BRCA2 is a cancer driver gene (CancerMine: 139 TSG, 7 oncogene, 19 driver citations). 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 (★★★).

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 ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 points.

O1Established oncogenic variant
TSG gene: ClinVar germline P/LP ★★+ — Moderate (O1); O1 contributing sources (2.0 pts): ClinVar germline P/LP in TSG (★★★)
O2Null variant in tumour suppressor gene
Frameshift/stop-gained, NMD predicted, LoF oncogenic mechanism — O2 very strong (+8); Use caution in the presence of multiple transcripts; Gene confirmed as TSG in CancerMine (TSG: 139 citations, oncogene: 7 citations, driver: 19 citations).; Frameshift/stop-gained. NMD predicted: true. LoF mechanism: true. Downstream pathogenic count: 3338.
O3Absent or very rare in population
Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = absent, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
