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

All three requested criteria are not applicable under the ENIGMA BRCA2 VCEP specification: PVS1 is restricted to null variants, while PM4 and BP3 are explicitly marked Do not use.

The variant is NM_000059.4:c.9257G>C, an exon 25 missense substitution p.(Gly3086Ala); the exact-variant mRNA study found no observed splicing effect.

No requested criterion was assigned from generic ACMG/AMP thresholds or from a final classification; the ENIGMA VCEP rules govern.

The exact variant was searched under c.9257G>C, p.Gly3086Ala, and p.G3086A in the named governing VCEP full-text files.

The ENIGMA BRCA2 computational scope was settled before applying scores: PP3 and BP4 use BayesDel plus SpliceAI for missense variants inside the DNA-binding domain; BP7 does not cover this missense variant because it is inside that domain.

PP3 is not met because BayesDel -0.0288497 is below 0.30 and SpliceAI 0.011 is below 0.2. BP4 is met at Supporting strength because BayesDel -0.0288497 is <=0.18 and SpliceAI 0.011 is <=0.1. BP7 is not applicable by scope.

Population evidence supports BS1 Strong because the maximum governing non-cancer filter allele frequency is 0.00043582, above 0.0001 but below the BA1 threshold of 0.001.

BA1 and PM2 are not met; BS2 is not assessed because the only homozygote observation is from population data without the VCEP-required phenotypic and age/follow-up information.

BS1 StrongVCEPMet at strong: maximum non-cancer grpmax FAF was 0.00043582, exceeding the ENIGMA BS1 threshold of 0.0001. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS1 Strong is met. The ENIGMA rule assigns Strong BS1 when maximum filter allele frequency is above 0.0001 in a non-founder population using gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes and/or gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes. The maximum reported non-cancer grpmax FAF was 0.00043582 in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes and 0.00028352 in gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes; both exceed 0.0001. The higher value, 0.00043582, governs the strength and is below the separate BA1 threshold of 0.001.

VCEP rule
Filter allele frequency (FAF) is above 0.01% (FAF > 0.0001) in gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only subset) and/or gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer), non-founder population(s). See Appendix G for details.
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes: maximum non-cancer grpmax FAF 0.00043582, from 20 alternate alleles among 235466, with one homozygote.
  • gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes: maximum non-cancer grpmax FAF 0.00028352, from 4 alternate alleles among 147624, with zero homozygotes.
  • The governing ENIGMA BRCA2 specification assigns BS1 Strong above FAF 0.0001 and BS1 Supporting only above 0.00002 through 0.0001.

BP4 SupportingVCEPMet, Supporting: BayesDel -0.0288497 is <=0.18 and SpliceAI 0.011 is <=0.1, satisfying both BRCA2 BP4 no-impact requirements. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution inside the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186), so BP4 requires both no predicted protein impact and no predicted splice impact. BayesDel no-AF is -0.0288497, which is at or below the VCEP BRCA2 no-impact cutoff of 0.18, and SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.011, which is at or below 0.1. Both required components are met, so BP4 is met at Supporting strength. The exact variant was not found in SupplementaryTables_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx.txt, Specifications_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, Appendices_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, or PMID_22505045_Houdayer_2012_HumMutat.pdf.txt.

VCEP rule
Apply BP4 for: ... Missense or in-frame insertion, deletion or delins variants inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain, and no predicted impact via protein change or splicing (BayesDel predicted No Impact AND SpliceAI ≤0.1). ... BRCA2: No impact ≤ 0.18
Evidence considered
  • The ENIGMA VCEP defines BP4 for missense variants inside a clinically important functional domain only when BayesDel predicts no impact and SpliceAI is <=0.1; BRCA2 no-impact BayesDel cutoff is 0.18.
  • BayesDel no-AF score for NM_000059.4:c.9257G>C is -0.0288497, meeting the VCEP BRCA2 no-impact cutoff of <=0.18.
  • SpliceAI maximum delta score is 0.011, meeting the VCEP no-predicted-splicing cutoff of <=0.1.
  • Wangensteen et al. 2019 mRNA assay explicitly lists BRCA2 c.9257G > C p.(Gly3086Ala) in Table 2 and classifies it as splice class 1S with no observed splicing effect; this is concordant supporting context, not a replacement for the governing SpliceAI rule.

PM2 VCEPNot met: the variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes at AF 8.4938e-05 and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes at AF 2.7096e-05. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM2 Supporting is not met because the variant is present in both governing non-cancer control datasets. gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes report 20/235466 alleles and one homozygote; gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes report 4/147624 alleles and zero homozygotes. Therefore the variant is not absent from controls, irrespective of the VCEP read-depth requirement.

VCEP 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. See Appendix G for details.
Evidence considered

PM3 VCEPNot met: gnomAD maximum FAF is 0.00043457, exceeding the VCEP benign-evidence threshold of 0.0001, and no Fanconi-anemia proband with a same-gene co-occurring variant is documented. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The VCEP restricts PM3 to a patient with phenotype consistent with BRCA1- or BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia and a co-occurrent variant in the same gene, and requires the variant under assessment to be sufficiently rare (not meeting a benign population evidence code). No affected-proband record, Fanconi anemia phenotype, same-gene pathogenic variant, or phase information for c.9257G>C was found in the case evidence. In addition, gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 report maximum population FAF values of 0.00043457 and 0.00040896, respectively, both above the VCEP BS1 threshold of 0.0001, so the rarity prerequisite is not satisfied.

VCEP rule
Apply for patient with phenotype consistent with BRCA1- or BRCA2-related Fanconi Anemia (FA), and co-occurrent variants in the same gene. ... Variant under assessment must be sufficiently rare (not meeting a benign population evidence code).
Evidence considered
  • ENIGMA BRCA2 specification v1.2, Table 1/PM3: PM3 applies only to a patient with a BRCA1/2-related Fanconi anemia phenotype and a co-occurrent variant in the same gene; the assessed variant must be sufficiently rare and must not meet a benign population evidence code.
  • Case evidence bundle: no affected-proband Fanconi anemia presentation, same-gene pathogenic variant, trans/cis phase, or other allelic observation was documented for BRCA2 c.9257G>C (p.Gly3086Ala; p.G3086A).
  • gnomAD v2.1: maximum filter allele frequency (grpmax FAF) 0.00043457; gnomAD v4.1: maximum filter allele frequency (grpmax FAF) 0.00040896. The VCEP BS1 rule defines benign population evidence as FAF > 0.0001.

PP3 VCEPNot met: BayesDel -0.0288497 is below the 0.30 PP3 threshold and SpliceAI 0.011 is below the 0.2 splice threshold. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution, and p.Gly3086Ala lies within the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186), so the VCEP PP3 protein-impact pathway is in scope. BayesDel no-AF is -0.0288497, below the BRCA2 PP3 impact threshold of 0.30. The independent VCEP splicing pathway is also not met: the SpliceAI maximum delta score is 0.011, below the PP3 threshold of 0.2. Therefore PP3 is not met; the same SpliceAI result is not counted again for BP4. The exact variant was not found in SupplementaryTables_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx.txt, Specifications_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, Appendices_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, or PMID_22505045_Houdayer_2012_HumMutat.pdf.txt.

VCEP rule
Apply PP3 for missense or in-frame insertion, deletion or delins variants inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain and predicted impact via protein change (BayesDel predicted Impact). ... Apply PP3 for predicted splicing (SpliceAI ≥0.2) for silent, missense/in-frame (irrespective of location in clinically important functional domain) and for intronic variants outside of the donor and acceptor ±1,2 positions.
Evidence considered
  • The case normalization identifies NM_000059.4:c.9257G>C as NP_000050.3:p.(Gly3086Ala), a missense variant at amino acid 3086; the ENIGMA BRCA2 DNA-binding domain is aa 2481-3186.

Reasoning

BA1 is not met. The ENIGMA rule requires maximum filter allele frequency above 0.001 in a non-founder population, using gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes and/or gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes. The maximum reported non-cancer grpmax FAF was 0.00043582 in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes and 0.00028352 in gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes, both below 0.001. The variant was observed once in the gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exome dataset and zero times homozygous in gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes; this does not reach the BA1 frequency threshold.

VCEP rule

PS1 VCEPNot assessed: SpliceAI max delta 0.011 meets the <=0.1 requirement, but no qualifying pathogenic same-amino-acid reference variant was found. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution and SpliceAI max delta is 0.011, below the VCEP's 0.1 no-splicing threshold; however, no previously classified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant producing the same amino-acid change was found in the governing ENIGMA files. Searches for c.9257G>C, p.Gly3086Ala, p.G3086A, Gly3086, G3086, and residue 3086 found no same-residue comparator entry; the only relevant 3086 entries were exon-boundary/domain-table coordinates. The criterion therefore cannot be evaluated without a qualifying reference variant.

PS3 VCEPNot assessed: no qualifying calibrated protein-function result was found, while the available variant-specific assay was mRNA-only and showed no splicing abnormality. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 v1.2 PS3 rule requires well-established functional studies showing a damaging effect and specifies that PS3 applies when the assay measures protein alone or mRNA and protein together. The exact-variant searches found no row for c.9257G>C, p.Gly3086Ala, or p.G3086A in Specifications_Table9_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx, SupplementaryTables_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx, Specifications_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx, Appendices_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx, or HUMU-40-1557-s001.xlsx. PMID:31143303 reports this variant in a patient-blood RNA assay as splice class 1S with no observed splicing effect, but ENIGMA Appendix E reserves PS3/BS3 for protein-function impact and routes mRNA-only evidence to alternative RNA codes; therefore this result does not establish PS3 and cannot be used to call PS3 not_met. No qualifying calibrated protein-function assay result was identified.

BS2 VCEPNot assessed: one gnomAD homozygote lacks the VCEP-required phenotyped-individual and age/follow-up data for BS2. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS2 is not assessed. The VCEP requires observations in healthy or phenotyped individuals and assigns points according to the individual's age at cancer diagnosis or age at last follow-up, inheritance/phase, and absence of Fanconi Anemia features. The available population data show one homozygote in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes, but the VCEP explicitly states that frequency-code data are not to be used for BS2 and that homozygote observations in gnomAD are captured by BA1 or BS1 only when the applicable frequency thresholds are met. No qualifying phenotyped individual, age/follow-up information, phase, or Fanconi Anemia assessment is available.

BP1 N/ANot applicable: residue 3086 is inside the ENIGMA DNA-binding domain aa 2481-3186, whereas BP1 requires a variant outside that domain. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP1 requires a missense variant outside a potentially clinically important functional domain and no predicted splicing. The variant is at residue 3086, within the VCEP-defined BRCA2 DNA-binding domain aa 2481-3186, so the location requirement for BP1 is not met.

VCEP 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).
Evidence considered
  • The VCEP BP1 rule requires silent, missense, or in-frame variants outside a potentially clinically important functional domain and no splicing predicted (SpliceAI <=0.1).

Reasoning

The ENIGMA BRCA2 VCEP explicitly marks BP2 as not applicable and states that it is not used, with any related application restricted to BS2. Therefore, phase or co-occurrence observations cannot establish BP2 under this governing specification.

BP7 N/ANot applicable: BP7 covers silent or qualifying intronic variants, or missense variants outside domains, whereas p.Gly3086Ala is missense inside the DNA-binding domain. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP7 is limited by the ENIGMA rule to silent variants inside a clinically important domain or intronic variants outside conserved donor or acceptor motif positions, and its RNA repurposing pathway applies to intronic, silent, and missense/in-frame variants outside a clinically important domain. This variant is missense and lies inside the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186), so BP7 is outside its own scope. The no-splice result is therefore not used to assign BP7.

VCEP rule
Apply BP7 for ... Silent variant inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain, IF BP4 met. ... Intronic variants located outside conserved donor or acceptor motif positions (at or beyond positions +7/-21) IF BP4 met ... Apply as BP7_Strong (RNA) for intronic, silent, and missense/in-frame variants located outside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain.
Evidence considered
  • The VCEP BP7 scope is silent variants inside a clinically important domain if BP4 is met, intronic variants at or beyond +7/-21 if BP4 is met, and BP7_Strong(RNA) for intronic, silent, and missense/in-frame variants outside a clinically important domain.
  • The case variant is missense p.Gly3086Ala at residue 3086, inside the VCEP-defined BRCA2 DNA-binding domain aa 2481-3186; it is neither silent nor intronic and is not outside the domain.

How the predictions were used

BP4 SupportingVCEPMet, Supporting: BayesDel -0.0288497 is <=0.18 and SpliceAI 0.011 is <=0.1, satisfying both BRCA2 BP4 no-impact requirements. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution inside the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186), so BP4 requires both no predicted protein impact and no predicted splice impact. BayesDel no-AF is -0.0288497, which is at or below the VCEP BRCA2 no-impact cutoff of 0.18, and SpliceAI maximum delta is 0.011, which is at or below 0.1. Both required components are met, so BP4 is met at Supporting strength. The exact variant was not found in SupplementaryTables_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx.txt, Specifications_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, Appendices_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, or PMID_22505045_Houdayer_2012_HumMutat.pdf.txt.

Apply BP4 for: ... Missense or in-frame insertion, deletion or delins variants inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain, and no predicted impact via protein change or splicing (BayesDel predicted No Impact AND SpliceAI ≤0.1). ... BRCA2: No impact ≤ 0.18
Evidence considered
  • The ENIGMA VCEP defines BP4 for missense variants inside a clinically important functional domain only when BayesDel predicts no impact and SpliceAI is <=0.1; BRCA2 no-impact BayesDel cutoff is 0.18.
  • BayesDel no-AF score for NM_000059.4:c.9257G>C is -0.0288497, meeting the VCEP BRCA2 no-impact cutoff of <=0.18.
  • SpliceAI maximum delta score is 0.011, meeting the VCEP no-predicted-splicing cutoff of <=0.1.
  • Wangensteen et al. 2019 mRNA assay explicitly lists BRCA2 c.9257G > C p.(Gly3086Ala) in Table 2 and classifies it as splice class 1S with no observed splicing effect; this is concordant supporting context, not a replacement for the governing SpliceAI rule.

PP3 VCEPNot met: BayesDel -0.0288497 is below the 0.30 PP3 threshold and SpliceAI 0.011 is below the 0.2 splice threshold. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense substitution, and p.Gly3086Ala lies within the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186), so the VCEP PP3 protein-impact pathway is in scope. BayesDel no-AF is -0.0288497, below the BRCA2 PP3 impact threshold of 0.30. The independent VCEP splicing pathway is also not met: the SpliceAI maximum delta score is 0.011, below the PP3 threshold of 0.2. Therefore PP3 is not met; the same SpliceAI result is not counted again for BP4. The exact variant was not found in SupplementaryTables_V1.2_2024-11-18.xlsx.txt, Specifications_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, Appendices_V1.2_2024-11-18.docx.txt, or PMID_22505045_Houdayer_2012_HumMutat.pdf.txt.

VCEP rule
Apply PP3 for missense or in-frame insertion, deletion or delins variants inside a (potentially) clinically important functional domain and predicted impact via protein change (BayesDel predicted Impact). ... Apply PP3 for predicted splicing (SpliceAI ≥0.2) for silent, missense/in-frame (irrespective of location in clinically important functional domain) and for intronic variants outside of the donor and acceptor ±1,2 positions.
Evidence considered
  • The case normalization identifies NM_000059.4:c.9257G>C as NP_000050.3:p.(Gly3086Ala), a missense variant at amino acid 3086; the ENIGMA BRCA2 DNA-binding domain is aa 2481-3186.
  • BayesDel no-AF score for the exact variant is -0.0288497. The VCEP Appendix J BRCA2 PP3 impact threshold is BayesDel >=0.30; this score does not meet it.
  • SpliceAI scores for NM_000059.4:c.9257G>C are DS_AG 0.011, DS_AL 0.003, DS_DG 0.0, and DS_DL 0.003; maximum delta score is 0.011. The VCEP PP3 splicing threshold is SpliceAI >=0.2; this result does not meet it.
