Description

The p.L2936F variant (also known as c.8808G>C), located in coding exon 21 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 8808. The leucine at codon 2936 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In a study of 333 patients with breast cancer diagnosed under age 45, this alteration was detected in one patient of African American ancestry (Haffty BG et al. Ann. Oncol. 2009 Oct;20:1653-9). Using a computational method that produces a probabilistic likelihood ratio predictive of whether a missense variant impairs protein function, this alteration is predicted to be neutral (Karchin R et al. Cancer Inform, 2008 Apr;6:203-16). This amino acid position is 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 leucine with phenylalanine at codon 2936 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). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 19491284). This variant has been identified in 1/250818 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.
