Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp RCV000217640 SCV000918983 likely benign not specified 2022-10-10 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing Variant summary: BRCA2 c.9175A>G (p.Lys3059Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2, OB3 domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 251304 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. Although seen in the literature, to our knowledge, no occurrence of c.9175A>G in individuals affected with Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. At-least two co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been ascertained in the BIC database and at our laboratory (BIC database-BRCA2 c.8237_8238delCA, p.Thr2746Serfs; our laboratory-BRCA2 c.8575delC, p.Q2859fsX4), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories and an expert panel (ENIGMA) have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 with a majority consensus as likely benign/benign (n=6, expert panel benign) (VUS, n=1). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences RCV003934986 SCV004756797 uncertain significance BRCA2-related condition 2024-01-13 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing The BRCA2 c.9175A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Lys3059Glu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in affected individuals. This variant is reported in 0.00088% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and has varied interpretations in ClinVar, ranging from uncertain to benign, with the ENIGMA expert panel interpreting it as benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/52767/; Supplemental Table 1, Parsons et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 31131967). While we suspect this variant could be benign, at this time its clinical significance is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System RCV001353881 SCV000592262 uncertain significance Malignant tumor of breast no assertion criteria provided clinical testing The BRCA2 p.Lys3059Glu variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the COGR, Cosmic, MutDB, ARUP Laboratories, and Zhejiang Colon Cancer databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs80359174) as “With other allele”; in ClinVar and Clinvitae as likely benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, Sharing Clinical Reports Project, and with uncertain significance by GeneDx and Counsyl. In addition, the variant was listed in the BIC database 3X with unknown significance; in LOVD 3.0 database 1X with no classification; in the UMD-LSDB database 2X as uncertain significance with no co-occurrence of other pathogenic variants; and in the BIC Database 3X with unknown significance. The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 2 individuals with breast cancer. Furthermore, the variant was identified in control databases in 1 of 246114 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000004 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was identified in the European Non-Finnish population in 1 of 111604 chromosomes (freq: 0.000009), but not in the African, Other, Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European Finnish, and South Asian populations. In silico predicted impact on the protein is uncertain (Karchin_2008). The p.Lys3059 residue is conserved in in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. 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. 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 uncertain significance.
