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.
The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome). In gnomAD v4.1, it is observed as a single allele (AF=6.27e-07, 1/1,595,636) in the European (non-Finnish) population. Per ENIGMA guidance, a single observation in a gnomAD outbred population is not informative and does not preclude PM2_Supporting. The variant is also absent from gnomAD-Canada.
ENIGMA BP1_Strong applies to missense variants outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain with no predicted splicing impact (SpliceAI ≤ 0.1). This missense variant (p.Ile501Val) is at amino acid position 501, which is outside both BRCA2 clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding: aa 10-40; DNA binding: aa 2481-3186). SpliceAI max delta is 0.0, indicating no splicing impact. BRCA2 exons 10 and 11 (codons 266-2281) contain 0 P/LP missense variants among 2,177 submitted to ClinVar, consistent with this region being a validated coldspot.
ENIGMA BRCA2 VCEP v1.2.0 conflicting-evidence point system: PM2_Supporting (+1 pathogenic point) and BP1_Strong (-4 benign point) = -3 total points, which falls in the Likely Benign range (-6 to -2). Both pathogenic and benign criteria are met, triggering the ENIGMA Table 3 point-based conflicting evidence rule.

BP1_Strong is met: c.1501A>G (p.Ile501Val) is a missense variant located at amino acid 501, outside both BRCA2 clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding aa 10-40; DNA binding aa 2481-3186), with no predicted splicing impact (SpliceAI max delta 0.0).
PM2_Supporting is met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome) and observed as a single allele in gnomAD v4.1 (AF=6.27e-07), which ENIGMA deems not informative for an outbred population.
No pathogenic criteria beyond PM2_Supporting were met. PVS1, PS1, PS3, PS4, PP1, PP3, and PP4 are all not met or not applicable for this missense variant.
In silico predictions are consistent with a benign interpretation: BayesDel no-AF score -0.472575 and REVEL 0.228 are below pathogenic thresholds. The variant is not in a functional domain, not at a hotspot, and was not identified in any calibrated functional assay (ENIGMA Table 9).
ClinVar reports this variant as Uncertain Significance (4 submitters) and Likely Benign (1 submitter), with no expert panel classification (ClinVar VariationID: 433760).
