Likely Pathogenic for BRCA2-related cancer predisposition. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM2_Supporting PS3 PP3
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The c.8375T>G variant in BRCA2 is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of leucine by arginine at amino acid 2792 (p.Leu2792Arg). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes only, non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25) and gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer subset, read depth ≥25). This BRCA2 missense variant is within a key functional domain and the computational predictor BayesDel (noAF) gives a score of 0.53, above the recommended threshold of 0.30 for prediction of impact on BRCA2 function via protein change. A SpliceAI score of 0.01 predicts no impact on splicing (score threshold ≤0.1). Reported by three calibrated studies to exhibit protein function similar to pathogenic control variants (PMIDs:38417439, 39779857, 39779848) (PS3 met). Multifactorial likelihood ratio analysis using clinically calibrated data produced a combined LR for this variant of 1.3 (based on Family History LR=1.3), which is above the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP threshold for BP5 (>0.48) and below PP4 (<2.08) (BP5 and PP4 not met; PMID: 31853058). 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, PP3, PS3).

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
Population frequency
Absent from gnomAD v4.1. Not observed in any sequenced alleles — a rarity signal (ACMG PM2-supporting), not evidence of pathogenicity on its own.
