Description

The c.426-12_426-8delGTTTT intronic variant, results from a deletion of 5 intronic nucleotides upstream of coding exon 4 in the BRCA2 gene. This alteration, designated as IVS4-12del5, was identified in a family with melanoma, breast and pancreatic cancer and segregated with disease in this family. Furthermore, a breast tumor from this family showed loss of heterozygosity for BRCA2 (Zhang L et al. Mutat. Res. 2009 Apr;663:84-9). This variant has been shown to cause incomplete exon skipping, leading to a frameshift and creation of a premature alternative stop codon (Zhang L et al. Mutat. Res. 2009 Apr;663:84-9; Sanz DJ et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2010 Mar;16:1957-67; Whiley PJ et al. Hum. Mutat. 2011 Jun;32:678-87; Whiley PJ et al. Clin. Chem. 2014 Feb;60:341-52). In addition, internal, quantitative RNA studies have demonstrated this alteration results in a substantial amount of abnormal splicing. However, this alteration has also been reported in trans with other pathogenic BRCA2 variants in patients of unknown age and phenotype who do not have overt symptoms of Fanconi Anemia (Ambry internal data; Nix, P et al. JCO Prec. Onc. 2020 June;4:790-35). Since supporting evidence is conflicting at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Description

This variant causes a deletion of 5 nucleotides in intron 4 of the BRCA2 gene. The variant is also known as IVS4-12del5, c.654-12_654-8delGTTTT, and c.426-12_8del5 in the literature. Experimental RNA studies of this variant have demonstrated a partial impact on splicing, increasing the skipping of exon 5 and producing a truncated protein in mutant cells (PMID: 19070627, 20215541, 21394826, 24212087, 30883759, 32133419). However, significant baseline expression of the exon 5 skipped transcript in normal cells may limit the variant's causal impact on disease (PMID: 27060066, 29774201, 32133419). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast cancer in the literature, but also in unaffected individuals (PMID: 10923033, 18446624, 19070627, 30675319, 16162645). This variant has also been observed to co-occur with pathogenic variants in BRCA1 (PMID: 18446624, Color Internal data). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Although there is a suspicion for a pathogenic role, 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.
