What condition is associated with BRCA2 p.Arg2964Thr (c.8891G>C)?

BRCA2 p.Arg2964Thr (c.8891G>C) is associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA2 p.Arg2964Thr (c.8891G>C) in the general population?

BRCA2 p.Arg2964Thr (c.8891G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (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.Arg2964Thr (c.8891G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9397) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
