Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Asn257Lysfs*17) 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 present in population databases (rs80359671, gnomAD 0.009%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with breast and ovarian cancer (PMID: 8589730, 8673089, 9150155, 24549055, 25863477). It is commonly reported in individuals of Icelandic ancestry (PMID: 8673089, 9150155). This variant is also known as 999del5. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 9326). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.771_775delTCAAA (p.Asn257LysfsX17) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Variants downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 8e-06 in 250748 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.771_775delTCAAA has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (examples: Johannesdottir_1996 and Ingvarsson_1998). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and demonstrated variant affects normal protein expression (example: Mikaelsdottir_2004). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 9766673, 8706004, 15217494). Eighteen submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
