Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg8Alafs*5) 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 personal or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 15131399, 22762150, 25330149, 25556971). This variant is also known as c.18_19delAG and 250delAG. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51267). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

The p.Arg8fs variant in BRCA2 has been reported in 1 individual with a BRCA2-ass ociated cancer (Lubinski 2004) and was absent from large population studies, tho ugh the ability of these studies to accurately detect indels may be limited. Thi s variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein?s amino a cid sequence beginning at position 8 and leads to a premature termination codon 5 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncat ed or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the BRCA2 gene is an esta blished disease mechanism in individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian canc er (HBOC). Furthermore, the p.Arg8fs variant was classified as Pathogenic on Sep tember 8, 2016 by the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000300284 .2). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an autosomal dominant manner based on predicted impact to the protei n and absence from controls.
