| Ambry Genetics | RCV002433532 | SCV002677153 | likely pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2021-03-03 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.8331+1G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 17 of the BRCA2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Palomba G et al. BMC Cancer, 2009 Jul;9:245; Krivokuca A et al. J Hum Genet, 2019 Apr;64:281-290; Hata C et al. J Hum Genet, 2020 Jul;65:577-587). In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. This variant demonstrated abnormal splicing in a minigene assay (Fraile-Bethencourt E et al. PLoS Genet, 2017 Mar;13:e1006691). However; two alterations at this donor site, BRCA2 c.8331+2T>C and BRCA2 c.8331+1G>A, resulted in substantial, but incomplete splice defects as ascertained by quantitative RTPCR and allele-specific SNP analyses from patient-derived material (Gelli E et al. Cancers (Basel), 2019 Mar;11; Nix P et al. Fam Cancer, 2021 Jan;). Furthermore, the close match alteration BRCA2 c.8331+2T>C was observed in individuals who collectively do not present with a clinical history seen in typical high-risk hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) variant carriers (Nix P et al. Fam Cancer, 2021 Jan;). However, these data cannot rule out the possibility of a hypomorphic variant with atypical risks. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. However, carriers of this variant and their families may present with reduced risks, and not with the typical clinical characteristics of a high-risk pathogenic BRCA2 alteration. As risk estimates are unknown at this time, clinical correlation is advised. |
