RCV000487311 | SCV000570802 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2016-06-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is denoted BRCA2 c.9502-7T>A or IVS25-7T>A and consists of a T>A nucleotide substitution at the -7 position of intron 25 of the BRCA2 gene. Using alternate nomenclature, this variant would be defined as BRCA2 9730-7T>A. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to weaken the nearby natural acceptor site and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing; however, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. BRCA2 c.9502-7T>A was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The thymine (T) nucleotide that is altered is not conserved across species. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether BRCA2 c.9502-7T>A is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. |
