Description

The p.K1440E variant (also known as c.4318A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4318. The lysine at codon 1440 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Description

This missense variant replaces lysine with glutamic acid at codon 1440 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold <= 0.5, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown this variant decreases affinity of BRCA2 for RAD51 in mammalian two-hybrid assays (PMID: 23071527). This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/242658 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
