Description

The c.632-3C>G intronic variant results from a C to G substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 7 in the BRCA2 gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. This alteration results in use of this novel cryptic acceptor site two nucleotides upstream of the native site resulting in a frameshifting transcript (Ambry internal data; Houdayer C et al. Hum. Mutat. 2012 Aug;33(8):1228-38; Fraile-Bethencourt E et al. J. Pathol., 2019 08;248:409-420). In addition, this alteration has been shown to express an in-frame transcript, known as 6q39_8 in the literature (Ambry internal data). This transcript has been shown to be able to perform homology directed repair in protein functional studies at a near wild-type level (Mesman, RLS et al. Genet Med 2020 08;22(8):1355-1365). This alteration was identified as homozygous in a fetus with features consistent with Fanconi anemia (Malric, A et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2015 Mar;62(3):463-70). Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Description

This variant causes a C to G nucleotide substitution at the -3 position of intron 7 of the BRCA2 gene. Splice site prediction tools suggest that this variant may have a significant impact on RNA splicing. Functional RNA studies have shown that this variant causes the use of an alternative splice acceptor site 2-nucleotide upstream of the reference acceptor site, creating premature translation stop signal in the RNA transcripts (PMID: 22505045, 30883759). The aberrant transcripts are expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 22505045, Color internal data). In addition, a multifactorial likelihood model using health history and tumor pathology data has suggested this variant have a high probability of being pathogenic (PMID: 31131967). This variant has been identified in 1/243142 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Likely Pathogenic.
