Description

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu1493Valfs*10) 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 (rs776022857, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with female breast and ovarian cancer, male breast cancer, and prostate cancer (PMID: 8589730, 11179017, 15131399, 20927582, 21324516, 21952622, 22798144). This variant is also known as 4706del4. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51653). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Variant summary: The BRCA2 variant, c.4478_4481delAAAG (p.Glu1493Valfs), causes a frameshift resulting in a premature stop codon, a known mechanism for disease, as these types of variants are predicted to cause transcript degradation through nonsense mediated decay or produce a truncated protein. The variant of interest was not observed in controls (ExAC, 1000 Gs, or ESP) and has been reported in multiple affected individuals via publications. In addition, multiple reputable clinical laboratories/databases cite the variant with a classification of "pathogenic." Therefore, the variant of interest is classified as Pathogenic.
