The recorded framework is ClinGen BRCA1 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.
This variant is a 2-bp deletion in BRCA1 exon 2 that causes an early frameshift, NP_009225.1:p.(Glu23ValfsTer17) (p.(E23Vfs*17)), with a premature termination codon. Loss of function is an established disease mechanism for BRCA1, and the ENIGMA BRCA1 specification assigns PVS1 to exon 2 protein-truncating variants.
In the ENIGMA BRCA1 framework, PM5 is repurposed for protein-truncating variants rather than classic same-residue missense comparison. This frameshift creates a premature termination codon in BRCA1 exon 2, and ENIGMA Table 4 and Supplementary Table 1 assign PM5_Strong for exon 2 protein-truncating variants.
In the BRCA1 clinical-history likelihood-ratio dataset, this variant is listed as c.68_69delAG in 202 probands with LR 1.145935772193482e+20. This value is far above the ENIGMA PP4 Very Strong threshold of 350, supporting a strong pathogenic clinical-history signal.
Expert panel ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGen classified as Pathogenic.
The non-founder filter allele frequency is above the ENIGMA BS1 Supporting threshold of 0.00002 and does not exceed the BS1 Strong threshold of 0.0001. The observed grpmax FAF is 5.395e-05 in gnomAD v2.1 and 2.478e-05 in gnomAD v4.1, so BS1 is met at Supporting strength.

The BRCA1 NM_007294.3:c.68_69del (NP_009225.1:p.(Glu23ValfsTer17); p.(E23Vfs*17)) variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic with expert-panel review and is also curated in OncoKB as a loss-of-function BRCA1 variant.
In gnomAD, the variant is present overall at AF 0.000205352 in v2.1 and 0.00011848 in v4.1, with non-founder grpmax FAF values of 5.395e-05 and 2.478e-05 respectively; this is above the ENIGMA BS1 Supporting threshold of 0.00002 but below the BA1 threshold of 0.001.
This 2-bp deletion causes an early frameshift with a predicted premature stop, and the ENIGMA BRCA1 specification assigns PVS1 for exon 2 truncating variants and PM5_Strong for protein-truncating variants in exon 2.
BRCA1 clinical-history likelihood analysis lists the equivalent c.68_69delAG variant in 202 probands with LR 1.145935772193482e+20, far above the ENIGMA PP4 Very Strong threshold of 350.
SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score 0.00), which does not create a separate PP3 or BP4 code for this protein-truncating frameshift under the ENIGMA BRCA1 rules.
