About BRCA2

BRCA2 encodes a DNA repair protein that maintains genome stability by repairing double-strand breaks through homologous recombination and by protecting DNA replication forks. It acts as a tumor suppressor, and inherited loss-of-function changes cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, with elevated lifetime risks of breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers; biallelic changes cause Fanconi anemia complementation group D1. Reduced or altered BRCA2 activity is implicated in multiple tumor types, and PARP inhibitors are an approved treatment for BRCA2-associated ovarian and breast cancers.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Met Not met Not assessed Not applicable

This is a synonymous (silent) substitution, NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G / NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), not a truncating, frameshift, canonical splice-site, initiation-codon, or protein-length-altering variant.

PVS1 is not applicable: the variant does not meet the ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 null-variant definition, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.01), so no RNA-level null mechanism is supported by available in-silico evidence.

PM4 is not applicable: no protein length change occurs with a synonymous substitution.

BP3 is not applicable per explicit ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 gene-level override (BP3 = Not Applicable for BRCA2), independent of variant type.

Governing framework: ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 (ClinGen expert panel), applied in preference to generic ACMG/AMP.

Variant NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G / NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=) is a synonymous (silent) variant at residue 2439, not a missense substitution.

PM1 and PP2 are explicitly marked Not Applicable by the CSPEC for BRCA2 under this framework, independent of this variant's characteristics.

PS1 does not apply because the variant is neither a missense substitution nor predicted to affect splicing (SpliceAI max delta 0.012).

PM5 (repurposed by CSPEC as PM5_PTC) does not apply because the variant is not a protein-truncating change; the case pm5_candidates artifact independently confirms non-eligibility.

BP1_Strong is met: the variant is a silent substitution outside both CSPEC-defined clinically important functional domains (PALB2 10-40; DNA-binding 2481-3186) and has no predicted splice impact (SpliceAI ≤0.1).

For BRCA2, the governing ENIGMA VCEP specification v1.2 makes PS2 and PM6 not applicable.

PP1 and BS4 require case-specific quantitative segregation or non-segregation evidence, which is absent from the consolidated case-evidence bundle.

No paper in paper_extracts.json provides variant-specific segregation, de novo, parental-testing, or non-segregation evidence for NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G.

Governing framework is the ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Expert Panel Specification v1.2 (cspec), which defines PS3/BS3 for BRCA2 strictly on calibrated functional assay data (Specifications Table 9) rather than generic ACMG bioinformatic or clinical proxies.

No functional assay evidence specific to NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G (synonymous, p.(Gly2439=)) was found in the VCEP-supplied Table 9 calibrated assay excerpt, the HUMU-40-1557-s001 multifactorial supplementary excerpt, or any full-text literature source captured in this case's paper_extracts/vcep_materials bundle; all located literature (PMID:18163131, PMID:25741868, PMID:31429903, PMID:23918944, PMID:26467025, PMID:21918853, PMID:24493721) either discusses BRCA1/2 at the gene level only or explicitly does not mention this variant.

Both PS3 and BS3 are therefore returned as not_assessed pending a direct row-level lookup of the full (non-truncated) VCEP Specifications Table 9 / HUMU-40-1557-s001 spreadsheets by exact HGVS match, which this text-bundle excerpt did not surface.

BP6_Supporting is met from the exact-variant ClinVar ENIGMA expert-panel Likely benign assertion.

PS4, PP4, and BP5 are not assessed because no exact-variant quantitative case-control or multifactorial clinical likelihood evidence was identified.

PP5 is not met because the exact-variant expert-panel assertion is Likely benign rather than Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic.

Governing framework: ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Expert Panel Specifications v1.2 (cspec), which provides gene-specific PP3/BP4/BP7 rules distinct from generic ACMG/AMP.

Variant NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G / NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=) is a synonymous substitution at residue 2439, located outside both ENIGMA-catalogued clinically important functional domains for BRCA2 (PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186).

SpliceAI predicts negligible splice impact (max delta score = 0.012; DS_AG=0.0, DS_AL=0.011, DS_DG=0.002, DS_DL=0.012), far below both the PP3 pathogenic threshold (≥0.2) and the BP4/BP7 benign no-impact threshold reference point (≤0.1).

Because this variant is exonic (not intronic) and located outside the two ENIGMA-catalogued functional domains, none of the domain- or intron-position-dependent BP4/BP7 rule bullets are literally satisfied, even though the underlying SpliceAI evidence is itself benign; the ENIGMA framework channels this exact scenario (silent, outside domain, benign SpliceAI) through its BP1 rule, which lies outside the scope of this criteria group (PP3/BP4/BP7 only).

BayesDel and REVEL scores were both queried but returned null/not found; this is immaterial to classification here because the variant is synonymous, so the missense in-silico PP3/BP4 pathway (BayesDel-based) does not apply regardless of score availability.

No functional mRNA/minigene transcript-level splicing assay data for this specific variant were identified in the case bundle (evidence.json, literature_pass.json, paper_extracts.json), precluding BP7_Strong(RNA) application.

Result: PP3 not_met, BP4 not_met, BP7 not_met, all based on gene-specific ENIGMA v1.2 rule text rather than generic ACMG/AMP defaults.

Population evidence is limited to low-frequency observation: the variant does not meet BA1 or BS1 under the governing ENIGMA thresholds, and its presence in gnomAD prevents PM2.

BS2 cannot be scored from aggregate population counts because the BRCA2-specific Table 8 point-based healthy-adult and Fanconi Anemia stipulations are not available.

Met · 2

BP1 StrongMet (Strong): silent change at codon 2439, outside the PALB2-binding (aa10-40) and DNA-binding (aa2481-3186) domains, with SpliceAI max delta 0.012 ≤ 0.1. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 BP1 rule states: apply BP1_Strong for a silent substitution outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain AND no splicing predicted (SpliceAI ≤0.1). This variant, NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G / NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), is a silent substitution at residue 2439. The CSPEC defines the only two (potentially) clinically important functional domains for BP1/BP7 purposes as the BRCA2 PALB2-binding domain (aa 10-40) and the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186); residue 2439 falls outside both of these ranges (below the 2481 lower bound of the DNA-binding domain and far outside the 10-40 PALB2 domain). SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score = 0.012), well below the CSPEC 0.1 threshold. Both conditions of the BP1_Strong rule are therefore satisfied.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 CSPEC v1.2 BP1_Strong: silent substitution outside clinically important functional domain (PALB2 10-40, DNA-binding 2481-3186) AND SpliceAI ≤0.1.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 BP1 rule: 'Apply BP1_Strong for silent substitution, missense or in-frame insertion, deletion or delins variants outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain AND no splicing predicted (SpliceAI ≤0.1). ... clinically important functional domains are defined as: BRCA2 PALB2 binding domain aa 10-40; BRCA2 DNA binding aa 2481-3186.'
  • Variant normalizes to NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), residue 2439, which lies outside both the PALB2-binding domain (aa 10-40) and the DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186).
  • SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.012 / 0.01), from case prefetch/evidence data, satisfying the SpliceAI ≤0.1 requirement.

Not met · 7 · evaluated, threshold not reached

PM2 Not met: the variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (7/251,214 alleles; AF 2.8e-05), so the PM2 absence-from-controls requirement is not satisfied. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 PM2 Supporting rule requires absence from controls in an outbred population in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exome-only and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer, with regional average read depth >=25. This variant is observed in gnomAD v2.1 (7/251214 alleles; AF 2.786e-05) and gnomAD v4.1 (57/1613848 alleles; AF 3.532e-05), with zero homozygotes. Because the variant is present in the available qualifying gnomAD v2.1 dataset, PM2 is not met.

Rule
Absent from controls in an outbred population, from gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only subset) and gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer). Region around the variant must have an average read depth >=25.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 specifies PM2 Supporting for a variant absent from controls in an outbred population in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exome-only and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer, with average regional read depth >=25; it also notes that a single observation is not informative.
  • gnomAD v2.1 reports the variant at 7/251214 alleles (AF 2.786e-05), with zero homozygotes, so the required absence criterion is not satisfied.
  • gnomAD v4.1 independently reports 57/1613848 alleles (AF 3.532e-05), with zero homozygotes.
  • gnomAD-Canada v1.0 reports the variant absent, but this isolated absence cannot override its presence in the governing gnomAD v2.1 dataset.
Still missing
  • The bundle does not state the local average read depth around the variant; this does not change the conclusion because the variant is observed rather than absent in gnomAD v2.1.

PP3 Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.012 is far below the ≥0.2 PP3 splice-impact threshold for silent variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

Variant is NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G, NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), a synonymous substitution at codon 2439, outside both ENIGMA-catalogued (potentially) clinically important functional domains (PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186). Per the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 specification PP3 rule, PP3 can only be applied for this variant type via the splicing pathway: predicted splicing impact with SpliceAI ≥0.2 for silent variants (irrespective of domain location). SpliceAI delta scores for this variant are DS_AG=0.0, DS_AL=0.011, DS_DG=0.002, DS_DL=0.012 (max delta = 0.012), far below the 0.2 PP3 threshold, so no splice-impact evidence supports pathogenicity. The missense in-silico pathway (BayesDel no-AF ≥0.30) is not applicable because this is a synonymous change, not a missense/in-frame indel. PP3 is not met.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 PP3: silent variants require SpliceAI ≥0.2; observed max delta 0.012 does not meet this threshold.
Evidence considered
  • SpliceAI Lookup (NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G): DS_AG=0.0, DS_AL=0.011, DS_DG=0.002, DS_DL=0.012; max delta score = 0.012; pipeline evidence_sentence: 'SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.01).'
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 ACMG/AMP Specification v1.2 (Table 1, PP3 rule, cspec): PP3 applies for missense/in-frame variants inside a functional domain with BayesDel no-AF ≥0.30, OR for predicted splicing (SpliceAI ≥0.2) for silent, missense/in-frame, or intronic (outside donor/acceptor 1,2) variants.
  • Variant location NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=) at residue 2439 falls outside both ENIGMA-defined clinically important domains (PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186), making the domain-dependent missense pathway of PP3 moot for this synonymous variant regardless.
  • BayesDel and REVEL scores were both queried and returned null/not found in the prefetch data; not relevant here since variant is synonymous and only the SpliceAI-based silent-variant PP3 pathway applies.

BA1 Not met: maximum gnomAD non-founder FAF is 1.687e-05, far below the >0.001 BA1 threshold. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 BA1 threshold is FAF >0.001 in a qualifying non-founder gnomAD population. The maximum reported gnomAD v2.1 non-founder population FAF is 1.687e-05 and the gnomAD v4.1 joint population FAF is 3.233e-05; both are far below 0.001. The observed allele frequency therefore does not meet BA1.

Rule
Filter allele frequency (FAF) is above 0.1% (FAF > 0.001) in gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only subset) and/or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer), non-founder population(s).
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 specifies BA1 when filter allele frequency is above 0.1% (FAF >0.001) in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exome-only and/or gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer non-founder populations.
  • gnomAD v2.1 reports grpmax FAF 1.687e-05, with 7/251214 total exome alleles and no homozygotes.
  • gnomAD v4.1 reports joint grpmax FAF 3.233e-05, with 57/1613848 total alleles and no homozygotes; this is supplementary population context and does not alter the v1.2 BA1 conclusion.
Sources

Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 BS1 Supporting threshold requires FAF >0.00002 and <=0.0001, while BS1 Strong requires FAF >0.0001, in qualifying gnomAD v2.1 and/or v3.1 populations. The qualifying gnomAD v2.1 maximum population FAF is 1.687e-05, below the Supporting lower bound, so BS1 is not met. Although gnomAD v4.1 has a maximum exome population FAF of 4.358e-05, gnomAD v4.1 is not the dataset named in this v1.2 rule and cannot be substituted for the specified v2.1/v3.1 threshold assessment.

Rule
Filter allele frequency (FAF) is above 0.002% (FAF > 0.00002) and less than or equal to 0.01% (FAF <= 0.0001) for Supporting, or above 0.01% (FAF > 0.0001) for Strong, in gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only subset) and/or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer), non-founder population(s).

BP4 Not met: SpliceAI is benign (max delta 0.012 ≤ 0.1), but BP4's silent-variant rule requires a position inside a functional domain; codon 2439 lies outside both. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

SpliceAI max delta score (0.012) is well below the ENIGMA ≤0.1 no-splice-impact threshold, which is consistent with a benign splicing prediction. However, the ENIGMA v1.2 BP4 rule text specifically restricts the 'silent variant, no predicted splice impact' bullet to silent variants located inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain (BRCA2 PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186); the third BP4 bullet covers only intronic variants outside donor/acceptor 1,2 sites. This variant, p.(Gly2439=), is exonic and falls outside both catalogued domains (residue 2439 precedes the 2481-3186 DNA-binding region), so it does not satisfy the literal domain-location condition of either applicable BP4 bullet. The VCEP channels this exact scenario (silent, outside domain, no splice impact) through its BP1 rule instead, which is not one of this group's assigned criteria. Because the domain-location precondition specific to BP4 is not met, BP4 is scored not_met for this variant rather than met, even though the underlying SpliceAI evidence itself is benign.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 BP4: silent-variant bullet requires location inside a catalogued functional domain; this variant (residue 2439) is outside both catalogued domains, so the rule's precondition is not met.
Evidence considered
  • SpliceAI Lookup (NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G): max delta score = 0.012, well below the ≤0.1 no-splice-impact threshold used throughout the ENIGMA framework.
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 ACMG/AMP Specification v1.2 (Table 1, BP4 rule, cspec): the silent-variant BP4 bullet requires the variant be inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain (BRCA2 PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186); the intronic bullet requires variant location outside donor/acceptor 1,2 sites in intronic sequence.
  • Variant p.(Gly2439=) at residue 2439 is exonic (not intronic) and lies outside both ENIGMA-catalogued domains, so neither applicable BP4 bullet's domain/location precondition is satisfied by this variant despite the benign SpliceAI score.

BP7 Not met: BP7 requires a silent variant inside a functional domain with BP4 met; codon 2439 lies outside both domains. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA v1.2 BP7 supporting-strength rule applies to (a) silent variants inside a catalogued functional domain, if BP4 is met, or (b) intronic variants beyond the conserved donor/acceptor motif positions (+7/-21), if BP4 is met. This variant, p.(Gly2439=), is exonic and outside both catalogued domains, so neither bullet's location condition applies, and BP4 was not scored met for this variant under this group's assessment (see BP4 rationale). The BP7_Strong(RNA) rule requires well-established functional mRNA-transcript studies showing no damaging effect; no such functional/mRNA assay data for this variant were found in the case bundle. No paper_extracts entries or full-text sources in this bundle report variant-specific splicing/transcript data for c.7317A>G. BP7 is therefore not met based on currently available evidence.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 BP7: supporting-strength requires domain location (not met here) or specific intronic position (not applicable, variant is exonic) combined with BP4 met; Strong(RNA) requires functional mRNA data (not available).
Evidence considered
  • SpliceAI Lookup (NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G): max delta score = 0.012.
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 ACMG/AMP Specification v1.2 (Table 1, BP7 rule, cspec): supporting-strength BP7 requires either a silent variant inside a catalogued functional domain with BP4 met, or an intronic variant beyond +7/-21 with BP4 met; BP7_Strong(RNA) requires well-established functional mRNA-transcript studies of no damaging effect.
  • Variant p.(Gly2439=) is exonic and outside both ENIGMA-catalogued functional domains, so the domain-dependent BP7 supporting bullet does not apply, and no functional mRNA assay data for this variant were identified in the case bundle to support BP7_Strong(RNA).
Still missing
  • No mRNA/minigene splicing assay data identified for NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G in the case bundle; if such functional transcript data become available they could support BP7_Strong(RNA) evaluation.

PS4 Insufficient evidence: no case-control enrichment study reporting this exact variant was available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No exact-variant case-control enrichment study or ENIGMA case-control likelihood ratio was identified. The available literature extractions do not report c.7317A>G/p.(Gly2439=), and the ClinVar-linked Spanish cohort reports a different synonymous BRCA2 variant (c.7545A>G), not the queried variant.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 PS4: case-control p<=0.05 and OR>=4 with lower confidence interval excluding 2.0.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 requires significantly increased prevalence in affected individuals versus controls, with p<=0.05, OR>=4, and lower confidence interval excluding 2.0, for PS4 at Strong strength.
  • The ENIGMA multifactorial dataset was checked for the exact queried HGVS/protein designation; no matching c.7317A>G or p.(Gly2439=) record was supplied.
  • The precomputed extraction for PMID:21918853 confirms that its reported synonymous BRCA2 observation is c.7545A>G/p.Glu2439Glu rather than the queried c.7317A>G/p.(Gly2439=); it therefore cannot supply PS4 evidence.
Still missing

PM3 Insufficient evidence: no Fanconi anemia phenotype, second BRCA2 variant, or inheritance data were available to assess PM3. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The applicable ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA2 specification limits PM3 to a patient with a phenotype consistent with BRCA1- or BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia and co-occurring variants in the same gene, with strength assigned from phenotype and proband-specific PM3 points. The case bundle provides no affected-proband report, Fanconi-anemia phenotype or chromosome-breakage result, second BRCA2 variant, phase, or inheritance information for NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G. PM3 therefore cannot be assessed.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA2 V1.2 PM3: apply for a patient with phenotype consistent with BRCA1- or BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia and co-occurring variants in the same gene; assign PM3 strength from the summed PM3-related points per proband (Supporting = 1 point, Moderate = 2 points, Strong = at least 4 points).
Evidence considered
  • The ENIGMA BRCA2 specification states that PM3 requires a patient with a phenotype consistent with BRCA1- or BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia and co-occurring variants in the same gene; it assigns Supporting, Moderate, or Strong weight using PM3-related points per proband.
  • Review of the consolidated case-evidence bundle found no documented second BRCA2 variant, affected-proband Fanconi-anemia phenotype, chromosome-breakage result, phase, or inheritance observation for this variant.

PP1 Insufficient evidence: no family segregation data or quantitative co-segregation likelihood ratio were available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 specification permits PP1 only for quantitative co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members, with Supporting at LR >=2.08, Moderate at LR >=4.3, Strong at LR >=18.7, and Very Strong at LR >=350. The case bundle contains no proband pedigree, affected-relative genotypes and phenotypes, meioses, segregation likelihood ratio, or other quantitative co-segregation result; therefore PP1 cannot be assigned.

Rule
Quantitative co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members; PP1 Supporting LR >=2.08, PP1 Moderate LR >=4.3, PP1 Strong LR >=18.7, and PP1 Very Strong LR >=350.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP specification v1.2 requires quantitative co-segregation in multiple affected family members and sets PP1 thresholds of LR >=2.08 for Supporting, >=4.3 for Moderate, >=18.7 for Strong, and >=350 for Very Strong.

PP4 Insufficient evidence: no ENIGMA multifactorial clinical-history likelihood ratio for this variant was available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No exact-variant ENIGMA multifactorial clinical-history likelihood ratio was identified. Breast cancer phenotype alone is insufficient because ENIGMA limits PP4 to quantitative combined likelihood evidence.

BS2 Insufficient evidence: no identifiable healthy adult probands or co-occurrence variables were available to assign BS2 points. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 BS2 rule requires the Specifications Table 8 point-based assessment, with points assigned per proband and consideration of the specified Fanconi Anemia stipulations. The bundle provides aggregate gnomAD observations and reports no homozygotes, but it does not provide identifiable healthy adult probands, co-occurring pathogenic variants, or the Table 8 variables needed to assign BS2 points. Aggregate absence of homozygotes alone is not sufficient to apply this BRCA2-specific BS2 rule.

Rule
Applied in absence of features of recessive disease, namely Fanconi Anemia phenotype. See Specifications Table 8 for additional stipulations, and approach to assign points per proband, and final BS2 code assignment based on the sum of BS2-related points.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 states that BS2 is applied using Specifications Table 8, with final code strength based on the sum of BS2-related points; the Strong threshold is >=4 points, Moderate is 2 points, and Supporting is 1 point.
  • The gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 aggregate records each report zero homozygotes, but they do not identify individual healthy adult probands or provide the Table 8 clinical and phase stipulations needed for BS2 scoring.
Still missing
  • Specifications Table 8 point-level data for identifiable variant-positive individuals are not available in the case bundle.
  • No case-level evidence establishes healthy-adult status, phase, co-occurring pathogenic BRCA2 variants, or absence of Fanconi Anemia features for BS2 scoring.

BS3 Insufficient evidence: no functional assay demonstrating a benign effect for this variant was available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 cspec BS3 requires well-established in vitro/in vivo functional studies (protein-only or mRNA+protein combined assays) showing no damaging effect, with strength/code recommendations drawn from Specifications Table 9 calibrated assay results. As with PS3, no variant-specific functional assay result for NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G / NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=) was located in the VCEP curated functional-assay table excerpts, the multifactorial supplementary tables, or literature full-text extracted in this case bundle. ClinVar classifies this variant Likely benign with ENIGMA expert-panel concurrence (evaluated separately under PP5/BP6), but that clinical classification cannot be used to infer a functional-assay-based BS3 call per instructions to never infer a criterion from another source's final classification.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 v1.2 BS3 (Specifications_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx Table 1; Appendix E; Specifications Table 9)

  • If a direct row-level lookup of Specifications Table 9 / HUMU-40-1557-s001 by exact HGVS c.7317A>G (beyond the truncated excerpts captured in vcep_materials.json) has not yet been performed, that lookup should be completed before finalizing BS3 as not_assessed.
BS4 Insufficient evidence: no family testing showing lack of segregation with disease was available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 specification permits BS4 only for quantitatively demonstrated lack of segregation in affected family members. The case bundle contains no affected-relative testing, non-segregation observation, informative meioses, or quantitative likelihood ratio; therefore BS4 cannot be assigned at Supporting, Moderate, Strong, or Very Strong strength.

Rule
Quantitative lack of segregation in affected family members; BS4 Supporting LR <=0.48, BS4 Moderate LR <=0.23, BS4 Strong LR <=0.05, and BS4 Very Strong LR <=0.00285.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP specification v1.2 requires a quantitative lack-of-segregation analysis and sets BS4 thresholds of LR <=0.48 for Supporting, <=0.23 for Moderate, <=0.05 for Strong, and <=0.00285 for Very Strong.
  • The case-evidence bundle provides no case-specific non-segregation, family, parental-testing, meiosis, or quantitative LR observation for NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G.
Still missing
  • Case-level pedigree and affected-relative phenotype data are missing.
  • Variant testing results for affected relatives are missing, including any non-segregating affected individuals.

BP5 Insufficient evidence: no ENIGMA likelihood ratio against pathogenicity for this variant was available. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No exact-variant ENIGMA multifactorial clinical-history likelihood ratio against pathogenicity was identified. Co-observation with another breast/ovarian cancer risk-gene variant is explicitly not an alternative basis for BP5 in the ENIGMA specification.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 BP5: use only quantitative multifactorial clinical evidence against pathogenicity; Supporting LR<=0.48, Moderate<=0.23, Strong<=0.05, Very Strong<=0.00285; do not use co-observation as an alternative basis.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 permits BP5 only for a combined multifactorial clinical LR against pathogenicity: Supporting <=0.48, Moderate <=0.23, Strong <=0.05, or Very Strong <=0.00285.
  • The supplied BRCA2 clinical-history LR material was checked for exact Gene=BRCA2 and HGVS_Nucleotide=c.7317A>G; no matching LR was supplied.

PVS1 N/ANot applicable: a synonymous change (p.(Gly2439=)) is not a null variant such as nonsense, frameshift, or splice-site disruption. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G is a synonymous substitution (NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=)); it is not a nonsense, frameshift, initiation-codon, canonical +/-1,2 splice-site, or single/multi-exon deletion variant, so it does not meet the ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 CSPEC PVS1 null-variant definition. The CSPEC PVS1 rule also allows PVS1(RNA) application when well-established functional studies show a damaging effect on the mRNA transcript profile; SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.01), so there is no in-silico signal supporting a cryptic-splice/RNA-level null mechanism, and no mRNA/minigene assay data for this specific variant is present in the case bundle. BRCA2 is gene-level PVS1-eligible (LOF is an established disease mechanism per CSPEC), but this specific variant does not fall into a PVS1-triggering variant class.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 PVS1: null-variant classes only (nonsense/frameshift/canonical splice +/-1,2/initiation codon/exon deletion) or well-established mRNA-assay evidence of damaging transcript effect (PVS1 RNA); neither is met by this synonymous, non-splice-impacting variant.
Evidence considered
  • case_summary.json normalization: NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G annotates to NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), a synonymous (silent) change, not a null/truncating variant class.
  • pvs1_variant_assessment in the bundle classifies consequence_class as 'synonymous', canonical_splice_consensus=false, variant_bucket='other', and states the variant does not fall into the generic PVS1 null-variant buckets (nonsense, frameshift, canonical +/-1,2 splice consensus).
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 (cspec) PVS1 rule restricts application to null variants (nonsense, frameshift, splice site donor/acceptor +/-1,2, initiation codon, single/multi-exon deletion) or to variants with well-established functional mRNA-assay evidence of a damaging transcript effect (PVS1 RNA).
  • evidence.json/evidence_sentence: 'SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.01)', which does not support a PVS1(RNA) pathway for this variant.
Still missing
  • No mRNA/minigene functional assay data available for this exact variant to rule in or out a cryptic splicing / NMD-inducing effect despite the low SpliceAI score.
Sources
PS1 N/ANot applicable: PS1 requires a missense or splice-impacting variant; this synonymous change (p.(Gly2439=)) is neither. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G produces NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), a synonymous/silent change, not a predicted missense substitution. The ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 PS1 rule applies only to (a) predicted missense substitutions matching the amino-acid change of a previously classified pathogenic variant with no splicing effect, or (b) exonic/intronic variants with the same predicted splicing impact as a previously classified (likely) pathogenic variant. This variant is neither a missense substitution nor does it have a predicted splicing effect (SpliceAI max delta = 0.012, well below the CSPEC 0.1 threshold), so the PS1 mechanism does not apply to this variant class.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 CSPEC v1.2 PS1: applies to missense substitutions matching a prior pathogenic variant's protein change (no splice effect), or to variants sharing predicted splicing impact with a prior (likely) pathogenic variant.
Evidence considered
  • Case protein normalization: NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=) — synonymous/silent change, not a missense substitution.
  • SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.012), from case prefetch/evidence data.
Still missing
  • No missense protein change or predicted splice effect exists for this variant to compare against a reference pathogenic variant under the CSPEC PS1 rule.

PS2 VCEPNot applicable: the ENIGMA BRCA2 specification designates PS2 (de novo) as not used. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The applicable ENIGMA BRCA2 VCEP specification v1.2 explicitly designates PS2 as not applicable. No de novo parentage evidence is available in the case bundle, but this criterion is not used under the governing gene-specific framework.

PM1 VCEPNot applicable: the ENIGMA BRCA2 specification defines no PM1 hotspot rule for this gene. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The governing ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 explicitly marks PM1 as 'Not Applicable' for BRCA2 in this framework (no PM1 rule/strength defined; hotspot/domain mutational-density evidence is instead captured via PP3/BP4/BP1/BP7 domain logic in this VCEP specification). No VCEP-specific PM1 rule exists to assess against for this variant.

VCEP rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 CSPEC v1.2: PM1 = Not Applicable.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 lists PM1 with applicability: 'Not Applicable' for this gene/framework.
Still missing
  • VCEP CSPEC does not define a PM1 rule for BRCA2; no generic ACMG fallback is invoked here since a governing CSPEC exists and explicitly designates PM1 not applicable.
Sources
PM4 VCEPNot applicable: the synonymous change leaves the protein sequence and length unchanged (p.(Gly2439=)). Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM4 addresses protein length changes from in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants in a non-repeat region. NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G produces a synonymous change (p.(Gly2439=)) with no alteration to protein length — the encoded amino acid sequence is unchanged. PM4 therefore does not apply to this variant class.

VCEP rule
Generic ACMG/AMP PM4 (no BRCA2-specific CSPEC override provided for this variant class): applies only to in-frame protein-length-altering variants (in-frame indel, stop-loss); not applicable to synonymous substitutions with unchanged protein length.
Evidence considered
  • Variant normalizes to NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), a synonymous substitution producing no change in protein length, amino acid sequence, or reading frame, which is a prerequisite for PM4 (in-frame indel or stop-loss) to be considered.
  • The ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 criteria table (cspec) does not list a BRCA2-specific PM4 rule variant applicable to synonymous substitutions; PM4 by generic ACMG/AMP definition applies only to in-frame insertion/deletion or stop-loss variants.
Sources
PM5 N/ANot applicable: PM5 applies to protein-termination or missense changes; this variant is synonymous. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 repurposes PM5 exclusively for protein termination codon (PTC) variants occurring in an exon where a different proven pathogenic PTC variant has previously been observed (PM5_PTC, keyed to Specifications Table 4 per-exon applicability). This variant, c.7317A>G / p.(Gly2439=), is a synonymous substitution, not a PTC (nonsense/frameshift) variant, so the classic same-residue missense PM5 concept does not apply under this VCEP and the PM5_PTC pathway is mechanistically inapplicable. The case's own pm5_candidates artifact confirms PM5 mode is 'ptc_gene_specific' with 'eligible_for_classic_pm5_search': false and recommendation level 'not_applicable' for this variant.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 CSPEC v1.2 PM5_PTC: applies to protein-truncating variants in an exon where another pathogenic PTC variant is known; not a classic same-residue missense rule under this VCEP.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 PM5 rule text: repurposed for PTC variants in an exon where a different proven pathogenic PTC variant has been seen before (PM5_PTC), per Specifications Table 4.
  • Case pm5_candidates summary: pm5_mode = 'ptc_gene_specific', eligible_for_classic_pm5_search = false, recommendation level = 'not_applicable', because this is a synonymous (non-PTC) variant.
Still missing
  • This variant is not a PTC/truncating change, so it cannot be evaluated against the VCEP's PM5_PTC exon-applicability table (Specifications Table 4).

Reasoning

The governing ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 explicitly marks PP2 as 'Not Applicable' for BRCA2 in this framework (missense-constraint/gene-mechanism evidence for BRCA2 missense variants is instead captured through PP3/BP4/BP1/BP7 domain-based logic, not PP2). No VCEP-specific PP2 rule exists to assess against for this variant, and it is additionally a synonymous change rather than a missense substitution.

VCEP rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 CSPEC v1.2: PP2 = Not Applicable.
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 lists PP2 with applicability: 'Not Applicable' for this gene/framework.
  • Variant is synonymous (p.(Gly2439=)), not a missense substitution, reinforcing PP2 inapplicability.

Sources
BP3 VCEPNot applicable: the ENIGMA BRCA2 specification designates BP3 as not used for this gene. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The governing ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2 explicitly designates BP3 as 'Not Applicable' for BRCA2 in its criteria table, superseding the generic ACMG/AMP BP3 rule (in-frame indel in a repetitive region without known function). This variant-independent gene-level applicability flag takes precedence regardless of variant consequence.

VCEP rule
ENIGMA BRCA2 CSPEC v1.2: BP3 marked Not Applicable for BRCA2 (Table 1 criteria specification).
Evidence considered
  • case_summary.json cspec criteria list contains an explicit entry {"label": "BP3", "applicability": "Not Applicable"} for the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Expert Panel Specifications v1.2, which governs this BRCA2 case and overrides the generic ACMG/AMP BP3 criterion.
  • Independently, this variant is synonymous with no protein-length change, so even absent the explicit VCEP override, generic BP3 (in-frame indel in a repeat region of no known function) would not be triggered by this variant class.

PP3 Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.012 is far below the ≥0.2 PP3 splice-impact threshold for silent variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

Variant is NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G, NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=), a synonymous substitution at codon 2439, outside both ENIGMA-catalogued (potentially) clinically important functional domains (PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186). Per the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 specification PP3 rule, PP3 can only be applied for this variant type via the splicing pathway: predicted splicing impact with SpliceAI ≥0.2 for silent variants (irrespective of domain location). SpliceAI delta scores for this variant are DS_AG=0.0, DS_AL=0.011, DS_DG=0.002, DS_DL=0.012 (max delta = 0.012), far below the 0.2 PP3 threshold, so no splice-impact evidence supports pathogenicity. The missense in-silico pathway (BayesDel no-AF ≥0.30) is not applicable because this is a synonymous change, not a missense/in-frame indel. PP3 is not met.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 PP3: silent variants require SpliceAI ≥0.2; observed max delta 0.012 does not meet this threshold.
Evidence considered

  • Variant location NP_000050.3:p.(Gly2439=) at residue 2439 falls outside both ENIGMA-defined clinically important domains (PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186), making the domain-dependent missense pathway of PP3 moot for this synonymous variant regardless.
  • BayesDel and REVEL scores were both queried and returned null/not found in the prefetch data; not relevant here since variant is synonymous and only the SpliceAI-based silent-variant PP3 pathway applies.

BP4 Not met: SpliceAI is benign (max delta 0.012 ≤ 0.1), but BP4's silent-variant rule requires a position inside a functional domain; codon 2439 lies outside both. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

SpliceAI max delta score (0.012) is well below the ENIGMA ≤0.1 no-splice-impact threshold, which is consistent with a benign splicing prediction. However, the ENIGMA v1.2 BP4 rule text specifically restricts the 'silent variant, no predicted splice impact' bullet to silent variants located inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain (BRCA2 PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186); the third BP4 bullet covers only intronic variants outside donor/acceptor 1,2 sites. This variant, p.(Gly2439=), is exonic and falls outside both catalogued domains (residue 2439 precedes the 2481-3186 DNA-binding region), so it does not satisfy the literal domain-location condition of either applicable BP4 bullet. The VCEP channels this exact scenario (silent, outside domain, no splice impact) through its BP1 rule instead, which is not one of this group's assigned criteria. Because the domain-location precondition specific to BP4 is not met, BP4 is scored not_met for this variant rather than met, even though the underlying SpliceAI evidence itself is benign.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 BP4: silent-variant bullet requires location inside a catalogued functional domain; this variant (residue 2439) is outside both catalogued domains, so the rule's precondition is not met.
Evidence considered
  • SpliceAI Lookup (NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G): max delta score = 0.012, well below the ≤0.1 no-splice-impact threshold used throughout the ENIGMA framework.
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 ACMG/AMP Specification v1.2 (Table 1, BP4 rule, cspec): the silent-variant BP4 bullet requires the variant be inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain (BRCA2 PALB2-binding aa10-40; DNA-binding aa2481-3186); the intronic bullet requires variant location outside donor/acceptor 1,2 sites in intronic sequence.
  • Variant p.(Gly2439=) at residue 2439 is exonic (not intronic) and lies outside both ENIGMA-catalogued domains, so neither applicable BP4 bullet's domain/location precondition is satisfied by this variant despite the benign SpliceAI score.

BP7 Not met: BP7 requires a silent variant inside a functional domain with BP4 met; codon 2439 lies outside both domains. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA v1.2 BP7 supporting-strength rule applies to (a) silent variants inside a catalogued functional domain, if BP4 is met, or (b) intronic variants beyond the conserved donor/acceptor motif positions (+7/-21), if BP4 is met. This variant, p.(Gly2439=), is exonic and outside both catalogued domains, so neither bullet's location condition applies, and BP4 was not scored met for this variant under this group's assessment (see BP4 rationale). The BP7_Strong(RNA) rule requires well-established functional mRNA-transcript studies showing no damaging effect; no such functional/mRNA assay data for this variant were found in the case bundle. No paper_extracts entries or full-text sources in this bundle report variant-specific splicing/transcript data for c.7317A>G. BP7 is therefore not met based on currently available evidence.

Rule
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 v1.2 BP7: supporting-strength requires domain location (not met here) or specific intronic position (not applicable, variant is exonic) combined with BP4 met; Strong(RNA) requires functional mRNA data (not available).
Evidence considered
  • SpliceAI Lookup (NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G): max delta score = 0.012.
  • ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 ACMG/AMP Specification v1.2 (Table 1, BP7 rule, cspec): supporting-strength BP7 requires either a silent variant inside a catalogued functional domain with BP4 met, or an intronic variant beyond +7/-21 with BP4 met; BP7_Strong(RNA) requires well-established functional mRNA-transcript studies of no damaging effect.
  • Variant p.(Gly2439=) is exonic and outside both ENIGMA-catalogued functional domains, so the domain-dependent BP7 supporting bullet does not apply, and no functional mRNA assay data for this variant were identified in the case bundle to support BP7_Strong(RNA).
Still missing
  • No mRNA/minigene splicing assay data identified for NM_000059.4:c.7317A>G in the case bundle; if such functional transcript data become available they could support BP7_Strong(RNA) evaluation.
  • The Houdayer et al. 2012 (PMID:22505045) VCEP-supplied splice-prediction benchmarking paper is referenced as supporting material for PP3/BP4/BP7 in this gene's VCEP file index, but no case-specific extraction of that paper is present in paper_extracts.json and no evidence was found indicating it discusses this specific variant.

    This review does not mention BRCA2 c.7317A>G or p.(G2439=), but it provides disease-penetrance context for BRCA2: disease-causing BRCA1/2 variants confer approximately 10- to 20-fold relative breast-cancer risk and an estimated 30-60% risk by age 60 compared with 3% in the general population. It does not provide variant-specific population-frequency or homozygote evidence.

    Disease-causing variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2 confer a high risk of breast cancer, approximately 10- to 20-fold relative risk. This translates into a 30–60% risk by age 60, compared to 3% in the general population.

    de Juan Jiménez I et al. · 2012
    This case-control screening paper does not mention the queried BRCA2 c.7317A>G variant. It reports a different synonymous BRCA2 variant, c.7545A>G (p.Glu2439Glu), in three of 495 sporadic breast-cancer patients, illustrating a potential same-protein-position and nomenclature confounder but not evidence for the queried variant. It therefore cannot establish BA1, BS1, BS2, or PM2 for c.7317A>G.
