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.
Parsons et al. 2019 (PMID:31131967) multifactorial likelihood analysis yields a combined LR of 0.177 (posterior probability 0.0036, IARC Class 2 — Likely Benign). This meets the BS4_Moderate threshold (LR ≤0.23). The analysis integrates co-occurrence LR (1.13) and family history LR (0.16) across multiple data sources.
Missense variant at codon 2233 lies outside both ENIGMA-defined clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding domain aa 10-40 and DNA binding domain aa 2481-3186). SpliceAI max delta = 0.0 (≤0.1), confirming no predicted splicing impact. Meets ENIGMA BP1_Strong criteria.
Li et al. 2020 (PMID:31853058) clinical history likelihood ratio is 0.3604 (based on 7 probands), meeting the ENIGMA BP5_Supporting threshold of LR ≤0.48. This indicates the personal and family cancer history of carriers is more consistent with a benign variant than a pathogenic BRCA2 variant.
No pathogenic criteria are met. Three benign criteria are met: BP1_Strong (missense outside clinically important functional domains, SpliceAI delta=0.0), BS4_Moderate (Parsons et al. 2019 multifactorial combined LR=0.177, IARC Class 2), and BP5_Supporting (Li et al. 2020 clinical history LR=0.3604). Per ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Specification v1.2 Table 3, the combination of 1 Strong Benign + 1 Supporting Benign satisfies the Likely Benign classification rule. BS4_Moderate provides additional corroborating evidence.

BRCA2 c.6698C>A (p.Ala2233Asp) is a missense variant in exon 11, located at amino acid 2233, which is outside both ENIGMA-defined clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding domain aa 10-40 and DNA binding domain aa 2481-3186). SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.0). This meets BP1_Strong per ENIGMA v1.2 specifications.
In a large-scale multifactorial likelihood analysis by Parsons et al. 2019 (PMID:31131967), this variant received a combined likelihood ratio of 0.177 and posterior probability of pathogenicity of 0.0036, corresponding to IARC Class 2 (Likely Benign). This meets BS4_Moderate (LR ≤0.23).
Clinical history likelihood ratio analysis by Li et al. 2020 (PMID:31853058), based on 7 probands, yielded an LR of 0.3604, meeting BP5_Supporting (LR ≤0.48). The personal and family cancer history of carriers is more consistent with a benign variant than a pathogenic BRCA2 variant.
The variant is present at very low frequency in gnomAD (v2.1: 2/251,286 alleles; v4.1: 31/1,613,926 alleles including 1 homozygote), which is insufficient for BA1 or BS1 but also precludes PM2_Supporting. No variant-specific functional assay data are available in ENIGMA Table 9.
Combining criteria per ENIGMA Table 3: BP1_Strong + BS4_Moderate satisfies the Likely Benign combination rule (1 Strong Benign + 1 Moderate Benign). BP5_Supporting provides additional corroborating benign evidence. No pathogenic criteria are met.
