Ambry Genetics RCV000223168 SCV000275441 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-06-28 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The p.L657* pathogenic mutation (also known as c.1970T>A), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 1970. This changes the amino acid from a leucine to a stop codon within coding exon 10. This alteration was identified in a cohort of African American early-onset prostate cancer patients (Beebe-Dimmer JL et al. Prostate. 2018 04;78:321-326). 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.
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV000558782 SCV000635194 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2022-05-30 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 37771). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with BRCA2-related conditions. This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu657*) 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 (rs397507279, gnomAD 0.01%).
GeneDx RCV000657697 SCV000779446 pathogenic not provided 2016-10-01 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.1970T>A at the cDNA level and p.Leu657Ter (L657X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes a Leucine to a premature stop codon (TTG>TAG), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is considered pathogenic.
