Ambry Genetics RCV000131857 SCV000186912 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2022-09-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.517-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation (also known as 745-1G>A or IVS6-1G>A) results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide before coding exon 6 of the BRCA2 gene. This mutation has been reported in an Arab individual diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33 who had no family history of cancer (Tazzite A et al. Gynecol Oncol. 2012 Jun;125(3):687-92). This mutation was shown to cause the skipping of coding exon 6 (described as exon 7) by RT-PCR analysis (Menendez M et al. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 2012 Apr;132(3):979-92). This alteration is also shown to result in the loss of a single nucleotide at the 5' end of coding exon 6 in the mRNA (Ambry internal data; Fraile-Bethencourt E et al. J Pathol, 2019 08;248:409-420). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation.

Invitae RCV000709290 SCV001578220 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-11-09 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 6 of the BRCA2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 22425665). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 51800). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site alters mRNA splicing and is expected to lead to the loss of protein expression (PMID: 21735045, 30883759; Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
