Description

The p.S2984* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.8951C>A), located in coding exon 21 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a C to A substitution at nucleotide position 8951. This changes the amino acid from a serine to a stop codon within coding exon 21. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Description

This variant causes a C to A nucleotide substitution resulting in a nonsense mutation at codon 2984 in the BRCA2 protein. The variant creates a premature translational stop signal and is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. However, a nonsense mutation at this codon caused by a different single-nucleotide substitution has been reported in multiple individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 8988179, 12649099, 16644204, 22798144, 28205045, 31837001, 32019277). This variant has not been identified 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 Pathogenic.
