Evidence summary

Decision support

Accumulated evidence now favours a more benign reading of BRCA2 c.9538C>T than the uncertain significance interpretation issued in 2023; the current consensus is benign. Where the original result drove additional testing or surveillance, that basis may have weakened. 2 records on file carry this variant and have not yet been reassessed.
