7141_7147dup
unknown

BRCA2 encodes a DNA repair protein that maintains genome stability by repairing double-strand breaks through homologous recombination and by protecting DNA replication forks. It acts as a tumor suppressor, and inherited loss-of-function changes cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, with elevated lifetime risks of breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers; biallelic changes cause Fanconi anemia complementation group D1. Reduced or altered BRCA2 activity is implicated in multiple tumor types, and PARP inhibitors are an approved treatment for BRCA2-associated ovarian and breast cancers.

This variant

This loss-of-function BRCA2 change disrupts a tumor-suppressor protein required for homologous-recombination DNA repair and is relevant to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility.

Pathogenic: PVS1 (very strong) plus PM5 (strong) satisfy the ENIGMA BRCA2 VCEP Table 3 combination rule.
Classification rationale
PVS1PM5 Pathogenic
BRCA2 7141_7147dup unknown

Pathogenic: PVS1 (very strong) is met for the exon 15 frameshift premature-termination codon expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Pathogenic: PM5 (strong) is met under ENIGMA Table 4 for a premature-termination codon in exon 14.

PVS1 + PM5 Pathogenic
LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
PVS1 very strong Pathogenic
Met, very strong: exon-15 frameshift p.(Tyr2383SerfsTer11) truncates the predicted product at residue 2393 of 3419 and is expected to undergo NMD.
The normalized consequence is NM_000059.4:c.7141_7147dup, a duplication producing NM_000059.4(NP_000050.3):p.(Tyr2383SerfsTer11); the predicted protein ends at residue 2393 while the original ends at residue 3419.ENIGMA BRCA2 specification v1.2 states that null variants including nonsense and frameshift variants receive PVS1 according to the exon-organized PVS1 flowchart and Table 4.ENIGMA Table 4 lists BRCA2 exon 15 PTC variants as PVS1 and lists the exon-15 coding duplication category as PVS1; the variant lies within the exon-15 coding interval c.6938-c.7435.
PM5 strong Pathogenic
Met, Strong: ENIGMA Table 4 assigns PM5_Strong (PTC) to BRCA2 exon 14, where c.7141_7147dup creates p.(Tyr2383SerfsTer11).
Mutalyzer normalization gives NM_000059.4:c.7141_7147dup and predicts p.(Tyr2383SerfsTer11), a premature termination after a frameshift.Specifications_Table4_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx.txt places BRCA2 c.7008-c.7435 in exon 14 and assigns the exon 14 PTC row PM5_Strong (PTC).The ENIGMA specification repurposes PM5 for PTC variants and directs use of exon-specific Table 4 weights; this is not classic same-residue missense PM5.
