Description

The p.L2647V variant (also known as c.7939C>G), located in coding exon 16 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 7939. The leucine at codon 2647 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in a woman with a personal history of early onset breast cancer (Byers H et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet., 2016 11;24:1591-1597). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Description

This missense variant replaces leucine with valine at codon 2647 in the DNA binding domain 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). This variant has been reported to be functional in a haploidized cell proliferation assay (PMID: 35190686). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer and in an unaffected individual (PMID: 27273131, 33471991; Leiden Open Variation Database DB-ID BRCA2_003789). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). A different missense variant at the same amino acid position, p.Leu2647Pro, is considered to be disease-causing (ClinVar variation ID: 52443), suggesting that leucine at this position is important for BRCA2 function. 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.
