Is BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A) pathogenic?

BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in BRCA2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2023-05-04). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1085); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome.

What condition is associated with BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A)?

BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A) is associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome, breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A) in the general population?

BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.

What do computational predictors say about BRCA2 p.Arg212Lys (c.635G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1085) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
