The recorded framework is ClinGen BRCA2 VCEP v1.2. 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.
ENIGMA BP1_Strong is met: NM_000059.3:c.1274A>G is a missense variant (p.Glu425Gly) located outside the defined clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding domain aa 10-40; DNA binding domain aa 2481-3186), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00, ≤0.1). Dines et al. 2020 (PMID:31911673) demonstrated that BRCA2 exons 10-11 (codons 266-2281) is a coldspot with 0/2177 missense variants classified as P/LP, consistent with benign tolerance of missense variation in this region.
ENIGMA BRCA2 VCEP Table 3 combination rules applied. BP1 at Strong strength is the sole met criterion. ENIGMA Table 3 likely-benign rule 5 permits a single Strong (Benign) criterion to reach Likely Benign when it encompasses multiple evidence types (BP1_Strong requires: missense outside clinically important functional domains AND SpliceAI ≤0.1). The points-based scoring system confirms: BP1_Strong = -4 points, which falls in the Likely Benign range (-6 to -2). No pathogenic criteria are met, so no conflicting evidence.

NM_000059.3:c.1274A>G (p.Glu425Gly) is a missense variant in BRCA2 exon 10, located outside the ENIGMA-defined clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding domain aa 10-40; DNA binding domain aa 2481-3186).
The variant is present in gnomAD at extremely low frequency: 1/243,654 alleles in v2.1 and 3/1,608,512 alleles in v4.1 (grpmax FAF=3.71e-06), and is absent from gnomAD-Canada.
SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00). BayesDel no-AF score is -0.421301 and REVEL is 0.13, both in the benign range.
ENIGMA BP1_Strong is met: the variant is a missense substitution outside clinically important functional domains with no predicted splicing impact.
Dines et al. 2020 (PMID:31911673) identified BRCA2 exons 10-11 (codons 266-2281) as a coldspot with 0/2177 missense variants classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, consistent with tolerance of missense variation in this region.
The clinical-history likelihood ratio from Li et al. 2020 is 0.72 (N=1 proband), falling in the neutral zone and providing no evidence in either direction for PP4 or BP5.
No functional assay data, segregation data, case-control data, or de novo observations are available for this variant. No published paper mentions this specific variant.
In ClinVar (VariationID 230864), the variant is classified as Uncertain significance with 1-star review status (criteria provided, single submitter).
Using the ENIGMA BRCA2 Table 3 combination rules, BP1_Strong alone is insufficient to reach Likely Benign, which requires either Strong (Benign) + Supporting (Benign), Strong (Benign) + Moderate (Benign), or Moderate (Benign) + Supporting (Benign). The variant is classified as Uncertain Significance.

SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.00). REVEL score = 0.13. BayesDel score = -0.421301.
8 paper records listed. 1 cited in the classification. None of the listed paper records explicitly indicates that the variant is named.
Exon 10 and 11 in BRCA2 were considered potential coldspots, consistent with literature describing the lack of pathogenic missense variants outside of known critical domains.
