Description
This variant has been previously associated with increased risk for prostate cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, and leukemia (PMID: 22236224, 22853031, 23541221, 26108461, 26108461). Large prostate cancer case-control meta-analysis studies of this variant have reported odds ratios of 3.25-4.51 for prostate cancer (PMID: 22841674, 23518396, 24026887). Higher odds ratios were observed for early-onset, familial, and highly aggressive prostate cancer (PMID: 24026887). This variant has been reported to segregate with prostate cancer in multiple families (PMID: 22236224). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.19% (528/280842) across all populations and at a frequency of 0.76% (191/25072) in the European Finnish population, suggesting that this variant is a founder mutation in this population. The c.251G>A (p.Gly84Glu) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.251G>A (p.Gly84Glu) variant is classified as Pathogenic.
