Variant summary: BRCA2 c.3073A>G (p.Lys1025Glu) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the BRCA2 repeat (IPR002093) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 250060 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 9.7e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in BRCA2 causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (4.8e-05 vs 0.00075), allowing no conclusion about variant significance. Multiple publications (Cunningham_2014, Lu_2012, Maier _2014, dosSantosVidal_2016) have cited c.3073A>G variant in affected individuals. In particular, one study, Yacoub_2007, cites the variant to occur in a man diagnosed with prostate cancer, whose daughter was diagnosed with breast cancer but did not carry the variant of interest, therefore, indicating the variant does not segregate with disease. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (BRCA1 c.1360_1361del, (p.Glu453_Ser454insTer), providing supporting evidence for a benign role (internal data). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24504028, 22476429, 25111659, 25348012, 17679929, 26941049, 34178674, 32599251). Ten submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and classified the variant as VUS (n=4) or benign/likely benign (n=6). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign.
