Description

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Description

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 2981 of the BRCA2 protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). Functional studies have shown that this variant does not impact homology-directed DNA repair activity (PMID: 29884841, 35736817). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast or ovarian cancer (PMID: 21318380, 28480178, 35535289), and prostate cancer (PMID: 25111659). One of the individuals affected with ovarian cancer also carried a pathogenic variant in the BRCA1 gene, which could explain the observed phenotype (PMID: 35535289). This variant has been identified in 1/242750 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.
