RCV001354369 | SCV001548970 | pathogenic | Malignant tumor of breast | no assertion criteria provided | clinical testing | The c.517-?_631+?del variant has not been previously reported in the literature. The precise breakpoint of this deletion was not determined and so the consequence of this alteration cannot be predicted. Skipping or deletion of Exon 7 is possible or the creation of an alternatively spliced product that leads to a premature stop codon, an in-frame or out of frame deletion, a truncated or absent protein product and loss of function, are possibilities. The c.517-?_631+?del deletion in the BRCA2 gene is of the type that is expected to cause the disorder and is an established mechanism of mutation in hereditary breast cancer patients. In summary, based on the above information, this variant is classified as pathogenic. |
