RCV001032519 | SCV001195826 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome | 2023-07-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in a copy number gain of the genomic region encompassing exon(s) 20 of the BRCA2 gene. While the exact position of this variant cannot be determined from the data, sub-genic copy number gains are generally in tandem (PMID: 25640679). This variant is predicted to be out-of-frame, and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in BRCA2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 20104584). A similar copy number variant has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 17063271, 29339979). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. |
