The c.-40+1G>A variant is an intronic variant within the native donor 1,2 splice site occurring in intron 1 of the BRCA2 gene. This variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (read depth ≥25) (PM2_Supporting met). Intronic variant, functional data considered only from assays that measure effect via mRNA and protein. Reported by one calibrated study incorporating mRNA splicing effects to exhibit protein function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMID:24395671) (PS3 met). This variant has been detected in one individual with phenotype consistent with BRCA2-Fanconi Anemia (FA). At least one clinical feature of FA (physical features, pathology findings and cancer diagnosis ≤5yr) and confirmed chromosome breakage are seen in this individual. They were compound heterozygous for the variant and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant confirmed to be in trans. Total points equated to 2 (PM3 met; PMIDs: 12065746, 12750298, 24395671, 26183081). This variant is reported to result in aberrant mRNA splicing. RT-PCR demonstrated that the variant impacts splicing by partial exon skipping (PMID: 24395671). The percent reference (full-length) and aberrant transcripts produced from the variant allele assessed using gel electrophoresis was not stated. Final code strength determined by the rubric: PVS1_N/A (RNA). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as a Likely pathogenic variant for BRCA2-related cancer predisposition based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP (PM2_Supporting, PS3, PM3).
