Notes
Third of three Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations (combined carrier frequency ~2.5% in AJ; ~1.5% for this BRCA2 variant alone in some cohorts). Single-T deletion in exon 11 causing frameshift and premature termination in the DNA-binding domain region — abolishes RAD51-mediated homologous-recombination repair. Modern HGVS notation c.5946delT; legacy notation 6174delT (older mRNA-numbering convention). Lifetime cancer risks consistent with BRCA2 average: breast ~50-60%, ovarian ~15-20%, male breast ~6-8%, pancreas ~5-7%, prostate ~20-25%. Higher pancreas risk than BRCA1 — CAPS-Consortium pancreatic surveillance (annual MRI/MRCP or EUS from age 50 or 10 years before youngest PDAC in family) applies to BRCA2 carriers with PDAC family history. Same breast/ovarian surveillance and risk-reduction protocols as other BRCA2 pathogenic variants (annual MRI from 25-30, RRSO 40-45). NCCN 2025 endorses population-wide AJ founder-panel testing. STUB pending two-Co-Lead signoff.
