Description
This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.2810A>C at the cDNA level, p.Gln937Pro (Q937P) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamine to a Proline (CAA>CCA). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 3038A>C. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Gln937Pro was not observed in large population cohorts (NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, The 1000 Genomes Consortium 2015, Lek 2016). Since Glutamine and Proline differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Gln937Pro occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Gln937Pro is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.
