The recorded framework is ClinGen BRCA1 VCEP v1.2. 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.
ENIGMA BP1_Strong applies to missense variants located outside the clinically important functional domains of BRCA1 when no splicing is predicted. p.Ser1057Asn is at amino acid position 1057, which lies in the exon 11 spacer region (aa 224-1366), well outside the RING domain (aa 2-101), coiled-coil domain (aa 1391-1424), and BRCT repeats (aa 1650-1857). SpliceAI max delta score is 0.0, confirming no predicted splicing impact. This region has been characterized as a coldspot with zero pathogenic/likely pathogenic missense variants among 1,117 exon 11 missense variants in ClinVar (Dines et al. 2020, PMID:31911673).
ENIGMA BRCA1 v1.2 Table 3 categorical rules applied. Only BP1_Strong is met (missense variant outside clinically important functional domains, no splicing predicted). ENIGMA Likely Benign rule for a single Strong Benign criterion requires multiple independent evidence types; BP1 alone constitutes a single evidence type (coldspot/domain location). No other benign criteria are met. The variant does not satisfy any pathogenic, likely pathogenic, benign, or likely benign combination rule, and therefore defaults to Uncertain Significance.

c.3170G>A (p.Ser1057Asn) is a missense variant in BRCA1 exon 10 (legacy exon 11) located at amino acid position 1057, outside the established clinically important functional domains (RING aa 2-101, coiled-coil aa 1391-1424, BRCT aa 1650-1857).
SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score 0.00), and BayesDel no-AF score is -0.0291, consistent with a benign computational prediction.
BP1_Strong is met: the variant is a missense substitution outside clinically important functional domains with no predicted splicing impact (SpliceAI ≤0.1). This is the only applicable ACMG/AMP criterion supported by current evidence.
BRCA1 exon 11 (aa 224-1366), where p.Ser1057Asn resides, has been characterized as a coldspot with zero pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense variants among 1,117 exon 11 missense variants reported to ClinVar.
The variant is present at extremely low frequency in population databases (gnomAD v2.1: 1/250,824 alleles, AF=0.0004%; gnomAD v4.1: 3/1,613,924 alleles, grpmax FAF=6.8e-7), below thresholds for both benign (BS1) and pathogenic (PM2) population criteria.
No functional data, case-control studies, segregation analysis, clinical history likelihood ratios, or variant-specific publications were identified for this variant. It is reported in ClinVar as Uncertain Significance (5 clinical laboratories, single submitter criteria only, no expert panel review).
Under the ENIGMA BRCA1 v1.2 point-based classification system, the evidence totals -4 points (BP1_Strong alone), placing the variant in the Likely Benign range (-6 to -2). However, ENIGMA Table 3 requires multiple evidence types to support Likely Benign when based on a single Strong Benign criterion. With only BP1_Strong met and no additional benign criteria satisfied from independent evidence types, the classification defaults to Uncertain Significance per the ENIGMA adapted ACMG/AMP framework.
