Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9898C>T (p.Pro3300Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.3e-06 in 273704 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.9898C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and breast cancer (Hu_2002, Ko_2020, Li_2017). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
