Description

This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.8708A>G at the cDNA level, p.Glu2903Gly (E2903G) at the protein level, and results in the change of a Glutamic Acid to a Glycine (GAG>GGG). Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 8936A>G. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 Glu2903Gly was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Since Glutamic Acid and Glycine differ in polarity, charge, size or other properties, this is considered a non-conservative amino acid substitution. BRCA2 Glu2903Gly occurs at a position where amino acids with properties similar to Glutamic Acid are tolerated across species and is located in the DNA binding domain (Borg 2010). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA2 Glu2903Gly is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Description

In the published literature, this variant has been reported to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that is tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). This variant has not been reported in individuals with BRCA2-related disorders. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000065 (1/15274 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.
