Description

Variant summary: BRCA2 c.5270A>G (p.Tyr1757Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 250310 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.5270A>G has been reported in the literature in individuals who underwent multigene panel testing for breast/ovarian cancer (Hwang_2017, Gifoni_2022, Guindalini_2022) or Lynch syndrome (Yurgelun_2015). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35957908, 35264596, 28392550, 25980754). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 156170). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.
