Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_000059.4:c.3111A>G normalizes to the synonymous BRCA2 protein consequence p.(Gln1037=) / p.(Q1037=).
2
Q1037 is outside the BRCA2 clinically important domains defined by the specification (PALB2-binding aa 10-40 and DNA-binding aa 2481-3186).
3
SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant, with max delta score 0.00, satisfying the no-splicing-predicted part of BP1_Strong.
4
The BRCA2 ENIGMA specification states to apply BP1_Strong for silent variants outside clinically important domains with SpliceAI ≤0.1, and its Table 3 states Likely Benign can be assigned from one Strong benign code when multiple evidence types contribute; BP1_Strong is given as an explicit example.
5
Population data do not support BA1 or BS1, and the variant is not absent from controls, so PM2 is also not met; these findings do not overturn the BP1_Strong-based Likely Benign classification.

Criteria assessment
ACMG/AMP criteria review
Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | N/A | Synonymous exon 11 variant p.(Gln1037=)/p.(Q1037=) with no evidence in the workspace for an RNA assay showing loss-of-function transcript impact; BRCA2 PVS1 is for null variants or qualifying mRNA assay evidence. |
cspec
spliceai
|
| PS1 | Not met | No same-amino-acid pathogenic comparator or same predicted splice consequence pathogenic comparator was identified in the reviewed workspace materials. |
clinvar
cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | No de novo case data are present, and the BRCA2 specification marks PS2 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | No variant-specific damaging functional assay assignment was identified in Specifications Table 9 or other reviewed VCEP materials. |

|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control enrichment evidence for this specific variant was identified in the workspace, and the variant is absent from ClinVar submissions that might have pointed to such data. |

|
| PM1 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks PM1 as not applicable in this specification. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Not met | PM2_Supporting requires absence from gnomAD controls. This variant is present in both gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, so PM2 is not met. |

cspec
|
| PM3 | N/A | No Fanconi anemia phenotype or in-trans co-occurrence evidence is present in the workspace. |
cspec
|
| PM4 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks PM4 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| PM5 | N/A | This is not a protein-terminating variant and not a missense substitution requiring PM5 logic. |

| PM6 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks PM6 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| PP1 | Not met | No quantitative segregation data were present in the workspace. |
cspec
|
| PP2 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks PP2 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| PP3 | Not met | PP3 is not met because SpliceAI shows no predicted splice impact (max delta 0.00), and this synonymous variant is outside the clinically important domains where missense-domain PP3 logic would apply. |
spliceai
cspec
|
| PP4 | Not met | No multifactorial likelihood clinical data supporting phenotype-specific enrichment were present in the workspace. |
cspec
|
| PP5 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks PP5 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| BA1 | Not met | The observed population frequency is far below the BRCA2 BA1 threshold. |

cspec
|
| BS2 | Not met | No adult biallelic or phenotype-negative observational dataset relevant to BRCA2 BS2 was present in the workspace. |
cspec
|
| BS3 | Not met | No variant-specific benign protein functional assay assignment was identified in the reviewed BRCA2 functional table. |

|
| BS4 | Not met | No quantitative lack-of-segregation evidence was present in the workspace. |
cspec
|
| BP1 | Met | This is a silent/synonymous BRCA2 variant, p.(Gln1037=)/p.(Q1037=), located outside the BRCA2 clinically important domains (PALB2-binding aa 10-40 and DNA-binding aa 2481-3186). SpliceAI predicts no splice effect with max delta 0.00. Under the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification, BP1_Strong applies to silent variants outside clinically important domains when no splicing is predicted. |
cspec
spliceai
vcep_s_p_e_c_i_f_i_c_a_t_i_o_n_s___v_1___2___2_0_2_4___1_1___1_8
|
| BP2 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks BP2 as not applicable except in the BS2 context, and no such evidence is present. |
cspec
|
| BP3 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks BP3 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| BP4 | Not met | For silent variants, BRCA2 BP4 applies only inside a clinically important functional domain with no predicted splice impact. This synonymous variant is outside those domains, so BP4 is not the correct benign bioinformatic code. |
cspec
spliceai
|
| BP5 | Not met | No multifactorial likelihood clinical data arguing against pathogenicity were assembled for this specific variant. |
cspec
|
| BP6 | N/A | The BRCA2 VCEP marks BP6 as not applicable. |
cspec
|
| BP7 | Not met | BRCA2 BP7 for silent variants is used in addition to BP4 for silent variants inside a clinically important domain, or as BP7_Strong with qualifying RNA assay data. This variant is outside the defined domains and no RNA assay was identified, so BP7 is not met. |
