Description
This sequence change replaces alanine with threonine at codon 2786 of the BRCA2 protein (p.Ala2786Thr). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and threonine. This variant is present in population databases (rs80359077, ExAC 0.08%). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 18627636, 14973102, 27376475, 26221963, 26689913, 28222693, Invitae). However, in one of these individuals a pathogenic allele was also identified in BRCA1, which suggests that this c.8356G>A variant was not the primary cause of disease. This variant is also known as 8584G>A in the literature. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52560). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
