Description
Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8350C>T (p.Arg2784Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB1 domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 251430 control chromosomes. c.8350C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer (e.g. van der Hout_2006, Farrugia_2008, Garcia_2009, Vail_2015, Kraus_2017, daCosta_2019, Machackova_2019, Shao_2020, Wu_2021), Fanconi anemia (e.g. Radulovic_2023), or other cancers (e.g. Donner_2018, Sirak_2021, Xia_2022). Several publications report experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g. Farrugia_2008, Guidugli_2013, Guidugli_2018, Mesman_2019, Richardson_2021, Hu_2022) including significantly impaired homology directed repair activity meaured by HDR assays. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30032850, 18451181, 19200354, 29394989, 23108138, 24323938, 29884841, 35736817, 19043619, 27616075, 25447315, 31409081, 29988080, 36721989, 33609447, 31742824, 34970085, 25782689, 34350294, 35762214, 31060523, 30447919, 16683254). 19 submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014, classifying the variant as pathogenic (n=3), likely pathogenic (n=13), or uncertain significance (n=3). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic.
