Is BRCA2 p.Leu1368= (c.4102T>C) pathogenic?

BRCA2 p.Leu1368= (c.4102T>C) is classified Likely benign in BRCA2 (ClinVar, Expert panel, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2017-06-29). Very rare (popmax 0.00222%, sas); Associated with breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2.

What condition is associated with BRCA2 p.Leu1368= (c.4102T>C)?

BRCA2 p.Leu1368= (c.4102T>C) is associated with breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA2 p.Leu1368= (c.4102T>C) in the general population?

BRCA2 p.Leu1368= (c.4102T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00222%, sas) (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.
