Invitae RCV000220501 SCV000073547 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2023-12-03 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 19 of the BRCA2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and likely results in a shortened 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 and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 12606139, 16619214, 17591842, 24156927). This variant is also known as IVS19+1G>A. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 52602). Based on a multifactorial likelihood algorithm using genetic, in silico, and/or statistical data, this variant has been determined to have a high probability of being pathogenic (PMID: 17924331, 21990134, 25085752). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in skipping of exon 19, but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame (PMID: 12606139, 16619214, 22632462; Invitae). This variant disrupts a region of the BRCA2 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Gly2793Arg) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 12442275, 15889636, 16030099, 23108138, 23233716, 25085752, 25777348). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Ambry Genetics RCV000131086 SCV000186016 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-03-11 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.8487+1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide after coding exon 18 of the BRCA2 gene. This mutation has been reported in multiple individuals with personal and/or family histories consistent with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome (Agata S et al. Cancer Genet. Cytogenet. 2003 Mar;141:175-6; Chen X et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 May;27:427-35; Susswein LR et al. Genet. Med. 2016 Aug;18:823-32). Multiple splicing assays have shown that this alteration leads to complete skipping of coding exon 18, resulting in a predicted in-frame deletion of 52 amino acid residues in a functionally important region of the BRCA2 protein (Ambry internal data; Mesman RLS et al. Genet Med 2020 08;22(8):1355-1365; Chen X et al. Hum. Mutat. 2006 May;27:427-35; Acedo A et al. Breast Cancer Res. 2012 May 25;14:R87; Agata S et al. Cancer Genet. Cytogenet. 2003 Mar;141:175-6). 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.
GeneDx RCV000212276 SCV000210473 pathogenic not provided 2022-02-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Canonical splice site variant demonstrated to result in an in-frame deletion of the critical DSS1 contacting residues of the DNA binding domain (Yang 2002, Agata 2003, Chen 2006, Acedo 2012); Observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer (Agata 2003, Chen 2006, Veschi 2007, Tea 2014, Lang 2017); Multifactorial studies suggest this variant is associated with breast and ovarian cancer (Lindor 2012); Truncating variants in this gene are considered pathogenic by a well-established clinical consortium and/or database; Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Also known as 8715+1G>A; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 17591842, 26681312, 24728327, 21990134, 12606139, 22632462, 17924331, 16619214, 27060066, 24156927, 25085752, 29446198, 29061375, 31209999, 25525159, 32398771, 30787465, 31825140, 30702160, 28294317, 12228710)
Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine RCV000220501 SCV000271334 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2016-02-08 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The c.8487+1G>A variant in BRCA2 has been reported in at least 9 individuals wit h BRCA2-associated cancers (Chen 2006, Veschi 2007,Breast Cancer Information Cor e (BIC) database), and was absent from large population studies. This variant oc curs in the invariant region (+/- 1,2) of the splice consensus sequence and is p redicted to cause altered splicing leading to an abnormal or absent protein. In vitro functional studies provide evidence that the c.8487+1G>A variant impacts s plicing (Agata 2003, Acedo 2012, Chen 2006). Heterozygous loss of BRCA2 function is an established disease mechanism in hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HB OC). Furthermore, this variant was classified as Pathogenic on August 10, 2015 b y the ClinGen-approved ENIGMA expert panel (ClinVar SCV000244485.1). In summary, this variant meets our criteria to be classified as pathogenic for HBOC in an a utosomal dominant manner based upon absence from controls, functional evidence, and predicted impact to the protein.

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health RCV000131086 SCV000689129 pathogenic Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome 2021-11-22 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant causes a G to A nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 19 of the BRCA2 gene. It is also known as IVS19+1G>A in the literature. Functional RNA studies have shown that this variant results in the skipping of exon 19, causing an in-frame deletion of 52 amino acids within the essential DNA binding domain of BRCA2 protein (PMID: 12606139, 16619214, 22632462). This variant has been reported in individuals affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 16619214, 24156927, 28423363; Color internal data). Multifactorial likelihood analyses based on genetic data using personal/family history, co-segregation, and co-occurrence predict that this variant has a high probability of being deleterious (PMID: 17924331, 21990134, 25085752). This variant has not been identified in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Loss of BRCA2 function is a known mechanism of disease (clinicalgenome.org). Based on the available evidence, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

In addition, this variant has been shown to result in BRCA2 exon 19 skipping and the deletion of 52 amino acids from the BRCA2 protein ((PMID: 32398771 (2020), 22632462 (2012), 16619214 (2006)). This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as pathogenic.
Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000220501 SCV000918865 pathogenic Hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome 2018-06-05 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.8487+1G>A is located in a canonical splice-site and is predicted to affect mRNA splicing resulting in a significantly altered protein due to either exon skipping, shortening, or inclusion of intronic material. Several computational tools predict a significant impact on normal splicing: Four predict the variant abolishes a 5' splicing donor site. At least two publications report experimental evidence supporting these predictions, which causes skipping of exon 19 leading to an abnormal protein product (p.Ille2778_Gln2829del)(Chen_2006, Agata_2003). The variant was absent in 276832 control chromosomes. c.8487+1G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer, indicating the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as pathogenic. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
ARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP Laboratories RCV000212276 SCV002049292 pathogenic not provided 2021-09-27 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The BRCA2 c.8487+1G>A variant (rs81002798), also known as IVS19+1, is reported in the literature in several individuals and families affected with breast and/or ovarian cancer (Agata 2003, Chen 2006, Gao 2020, Veschi 2007). This variant is also reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 52602), and is classified as pathogenic by the evidence-based network for the interpretation of germline mutant alleles (ENIGMA) expert panel (see link to ENIGMA consortium classification criteria). This variant is absent from the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. This variant disrupts the canonical splice donor site of intron 19, and functional assays demonstrate skipping of exon 19 (Agata 2003, Chen 2006). Based on available information, this variant is considered to be pathogenic.
