Description

The c.994delA pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 9 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 994, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.I332Ffs*17). This alteration has been detected in multiple families with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Turner BC et al, J. Clin. Oncol. 1999 Oct; 17(10):3017-24; Kim H et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2012 Aug;134:1315-26; Park B et al. Breast Cancer Res. Treat., 2017 May;163:139-150; Rebbeck TR et al. Hum. Mutat., 2018 05;39:593-620). Of note, this alteration is also designated as 1222delA in published literature. In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation.

Description

This variant deletes 1 nucleotide in exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, creating a frameshift and premature translation stop signal. This variant is expected to result in an absent or non-functional protein product. This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.
