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.
Per ENIGMA Specifications Table 9, NM_007294.4:c.5057A>G (p.His1686Arg) is assigned PS3_Strong based on three calibrated functional studies that demonstrate protein function similar to pathogenic control variants: Findlay 2018 (PMID:30209399) saturation genome editing — classified as Loss-of-Function; Petitalot 2019 (PMID:30257991) — classified as 3P (pathogenic); and Bouwman 2020 (PMID:32546644) — classified as Deleterious. The variant shows complete functional impact (LOF, score -0.447) in the ST4 functional assay dataset and is annotated as LossOfFunction in ST13 with three supporting calibrated studies. SpliceAI max delta = 0.15 indicates no predicted splicing effect, confirming the functional defect is mediated at the protein level.
NM_007294.4:c.5057A>G is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only subset), meeting the ENIGMA PM2_Supporting criterion for absence from outbred population controls. In gnomAD v4.1, the variant is present at ultra-rare frequency (2/1,612,174 alleles; grpmax FAF=2.8e-07; highest in European non-Finnish at 2/1,178,240). The variant is also absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0.
NM_007294.4:c.5057A>G (p.His1686Arg) is a missense variant located within the BRCT repeat domain (aa 1650-1857), a clinically important functional domain per ENIGMA specifications. The BayesDel no-AF score is 0.378, which exceeds the ENIGMA PP3 threshold of >=0.28 for predicted impact via protein change. REVEL score is 0.905, consistent with a deleterious prediction. SpliceAI max delta score is 0.15 (<0.2), indicating no significant predicted splicing impact.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 VCEP v1.2.0 Table 3 combination rules applied to adjudicated criteria: 1 Strong (PS3) + 2 Supporting (PM2, PP3) satisfies the Likely Pathogenic combination rule (1 Strong + ≥2 Supporting). No benign criteria are met, so no conflicting-evidence point-system reduction is required.

NM_007294.4:c.5057A>G (p.His1686Arg) is a missense variant in BRCA1 exon 16, located within the BRCT repeat domain (aa 1650-1857), a clinically important functional domain critical for BRCA1 tumor suppressor activity.
The variant meets PS3_Strong per ENIGMA Specifications Table 9, based on three calibrated functional studies (Findlay 2018 PMID:30209399; Petitalot 2019 PMID:30257991; Bouwman 2020 PMID:32546644) that demonstrate protein function similar to pathogenic control variants, with complete functional impact (Loss-of-Function) confirmed in the ST4 functional assay dataset.
The variant meets PP3_Supporting: it is a missense substitution within the BRCT clinically important functional domain with a BayesDel no-AF score of 0.378 (>=0.28 threshold), predicting deleterious impact via protein change. REVEL score is 0.905. SpliceAI max delta is 0.15, indicating no significant splicing impact.
The variant meets PM2_Supporting: it is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only) and present at ultra-rare frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (2/1,612,174 alleles; grpmax FAF=2.8e-07). It is absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0.
PP4 could not be applied: the clinical-history likelihood ratio is LR=1.42 (1 proband, Li et al. 2020 PMID:31853058), which falls in the ENIGMA neutral zone (0.48-2.08) and provides insufficient evidence in either direction.
The variant does not meet PVS1 (missense, not a null variant), PS1 (no different nucleotide to same amino acid comparator), PS4 (no case-control study), PP1 (no co-segregation data), BA1/BS1 (frequency too low), BS2 (no healthy adult data), BS3 (functional evidence shows damaging effect), BS4 (no lack-of-segregation data), BP1 (inside functional domain), BP4 (BayesDel >0.15, SpliceAI >0.1), BP5 (LR neutral zone), or BP7 (damaging functional effect).
