Description

The BRCA2 c.3717del (p.Lys1239Asnfs*20) variant, also published as 3945delA, has been reported in several individuals and families affected with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Breast Cancer Association Consortium, PMID: 33471991; Lubinski J et al., PMID: 15131399; Rebbeck TR et al., PMID: 29446198; Tai YC et al., PMID: 18042939; Tchou J et al., PMID: 17592676). This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic variant by several submitters and is absent from the general population (gnomAD v.2.1.1), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant causes a frameshift by deleting a single nucleotide, leading to a premature termination codon, which is predicted to lead to nonsense mediated decay. Based on available information and the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Richards S et al., PMID: 25741868), this variant is classified as pathogenic.
