The recorded framework is ClinGen BRCA2 VCEP v1.2.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
No pathogenic criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
BS1_Supporting is met. ENIGMA BS1_Supporting requires FAF > 0.002% (FAF > 0.00002) and ≤ 0.01% (FAF ≤ 0.0001) in gnomAD non-cancer populations. gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF = 3.34e-05 (0.0033%) exceeds the 0.002% threshold and is ≤ 0.01%. The gnomAD v2.1 FAF (1.69e-05, 0.0017%) does not meet the threshold, but v4.1 serves as a more comprehensive non-cancer population dataset. Note: ENIGMA specification references gnomAD v3.1; v4.1 (the successor) is used here as the current best available non-cancer population frequency resource.
BP1_Strong is met. ENIGMA BP1_Strong applies to silent substitutions outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain with no splicing predicted (SpliceAI ≤0.1). c.4494T>A is a synonymous variant (p.Gly1498=) at amino acid position 1498, which lies outside both BRCA2 clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding: aa 10-40; DNA binding: aa 2481-3186). SpliceAI max delta = 0.00. All conditions for BP1_Strong are satisfied.
Expert panel Evidence-based Network for the Interpretation of Germline Mutant Alleles (ENIGMA) classified as Likely benign.
ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Specification v1.2.0 Table 3 classification framework applied. One Strong (Benign) criterion (BP1_Strong) and one Supporting (Benign) criterion (BS1_Supporting) are met, satisfying the ENIGMA Likely Benign combination rule. ENIGMA point system yields -5 points (BP1_Strong = -4, BS1_Supporting = -1), falling in the Likely Benign range (-6 to -2). No pathogenic criteria are met, so no conflicting-evidence point calculation is required.

NM_000059.4:c.4494T>A (p.Gly1498=) is a synonymous variant in BRCA2 exon 11.
BP1_Strong is met: the variant is a silent substitution outside the clinically important functional domains (aa 10-40 and 2481-3186) with no predicted splicing impact (SpliceAI max delta=0.00).
BS1_Supporting is met: gnomAD v4.1 filter allele frequency is 3.34e-05 (0.0033%), exceeding the 0.002% threshold for BS1_Supporting under ENIGMA rules.
PVS1, PS3, PM2, PM5, PP3, PP4, BA1, BS3, BS4, and BP5 are not met or not applicable. The variant is present in gnomAD, lacks functional evidence of pathogenicity, and has no segregation or case-control data.
ClinVar expert panel (ENIGMA) classifies this variant as Likely Benign (ClinVar ID: 184407), consistent with the criteria assessment.
Applying ENIGMA Table 3 point system: BP1_Strong = -4 points, BS1_Supporting = -1 point, total = -5 points, which falls in the Likely Benign range (-6 to -2). The combination of one Strong (Benign) and one Supporting (Benign) criterion satisfies the ENIGMA Likely Benign classification rule.
Exploratory evidence suggests c.4494T>A exhibits normal splicing in a minigene assay (PMID:28608497), which, if verified, would add BP7_Strong (RNA), further strengthening the benign classification.
