Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Tyr2977*) in the BRCA2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 29446198). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 267117). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

The p.Tyr2977X variant in BRCA2 has been identified in the literature in 1 individual with BRCA2-related cancer (Rebbeck 2018 PubMed: 29446198) and was absent from large population studies. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 2977, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal dominant HBOC. In addition, this variant was classified as pathogenic on October 18, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000324712.1). In summary, although additional studies are required to fully establish its clinical significance, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for autosomal dominant hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. ACMG/AMP codes applied: PVS1, PM2.
