Is BRCA2 c.-7G>A pathogenic?

BRCA2 c.-7G>A is classified Uncertain significance in BRCA2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-04-03). Very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe); Associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome.

What condition is associated with BRCA2 c.-7G>A?

BRCA2 c.-7G>A is associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA2 c.-7G>A in the general population?

BRCA2 c.-7G>A is very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Hereditary breast and/or ovarian cancer syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
