AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1157); Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome.

What condition is associated with BRCA2 p.Ser786Cys (c.2357C>G)?

BRCA2 p.Ser786Cys (c.2357C>G) is associated with hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome, breast cancer, breast-ovarian cancer, familial, susceptibility to, 2 (ClinVar).

How common is BRCA2 p.Ser786Cys (c.2357C>G) in the general population?

BRCA2 p.Ser786Cys (c.2357C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, 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.

What do computational predictors say about BRCA2 p.Ser786Cys (c.2357C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1157) — 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.
