Ambry Genetics	RCV000130851	SCV000185749	uncertain significance	Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome	2023-09-07	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	The p.N1279D variant (also known as c.3835A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the BRCA2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3835. The asparagine at codon 1279 is replaced by aspartic acid, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was detected in a cohort of 1663 Brazilian breast cancer patients who underwent hereditary multigene panel testing (Guindalini RSC et al. Sci Rep, 2022 Mar;12:4190). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.

Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	RCV000657036	SCV000600565	uncertain significance	not provided	2023-07-13	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596 (2022)). This variant is also reported to be located in a region of the BRCA2 gene that tolerant to missense sequence changes (PMID: 31911673 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000026 (3/116358 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	RCV000221261	SCV001748799	uncertain significance	not specified	2021-07-01	criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3835A>G (p.Asn1279Asp) results in a 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 1.4e-05 in 215842 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.3835A>G in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported in the literature. The variant has been reported in one individual in the Breast Cancer Information Core (BIC) database and in one individual diagnosed with brain cancer (Jones_2015). Nine ClinVar submitters (evaluation after 2014) have cited the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System	RCV001353872	SCV000591877	uncertain significance	Malignant tumor of breast		no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	The p.Asn1279Asp was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80358626) “With Uncertain significance allele”, and in the ClinVar database where it was classified with “uncertain” clinical significance by three submitters (Sharing Clinical Reports Project, derived from Myriad reports; BIC; Ambry Genetics). The variant was identified the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) database in 2 of 52506 European (Non-Finnish) individuals; this low number of observations is not is not substantive enough to determine the frequency of the variant in the general population and its relationship to disease. The variant was not identified in the literature, nor was it identified in any of the other databases searched. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. The p.Asn1279 residue is not conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of unknown significance.
