Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.9014_9015del (p.Arg3005IlefsTer12) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar as pathogenic, including ENIGMA expert panel review.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, although ENIGMA does not apply PM2_Supporting to insertion, deletion, or delins variants.
3
ENIGMA BRCA2 null-variant guidance supports full-strength PVS1 for truncating variants in exon 23 and assigns PM5_PTC Strong to this exon, consistent with a deleterious premature termination event.
4
SpliceAI predicts possible splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.23.
Final determination:
Pathogenic based on one Very Strong pathogenic criterion and one Strong pathogenic criterion under the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Table 3 combination rules.
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 | Met | This variant is a frameshift deletion in BRCA2 that is predicted to introduce a premature termination codon, and BRCA2 loss of function is an established disease mechanism in the ENIGMA BRCA2 framework. The variant is in exon 23, where the ENIGMA exon-level null-variant table supports full-strength PVS1 for truncating variants. |

|
| PM5 | Met | This protein-truncating variant occurs in BRCA2 exon 23, and the ENIGMA BRCA2 exon-level null-variant table assigns PM5_PTC Strong to exon 23. This supports additional pathogenic weight for a premature termination codon variant in an exon where pathogenic truncating variants have already been established. |

|
| PS1 | N/A | This variant is a frameshift deletion rather than a missense substitution or a same-splicing-event comparison, so the ENIGMA PS1 rule does not apply. |
cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | No de novo framework is used for BRCA1/2-related cancers in the ENIGMA specification, so PS2 is not applied. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No variant-specific calibrated functional study supporting a damaging effect was identified for this deletion in the curated ENIGMA functional assay table. Available evidence does not support applying PS3 at this time. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | This variant has been reported in ClinVar, including expert panel review, but no qualifying case-control statistic, odds ratio, or ENIGMA proband-count evidence was identified to support PS4. Available evidence is insufficient to apply PS4. |

|
| PM1 | N/A | The ENIGMA BRCA2 specification designates PM1 as not applicable because critical-domain information is incorporated into the bioinformatic framework rather than used as an independent criterion. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | N/A | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, but the ENIGMA BRCA2 specification does not apply PM2_Supporting to insertion, deletion, or delins variants. Therefore PM2 is not applied for this deletion. |

| PP3 | N/A | SpliceAI predicts possible splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.23, which is above the ENIGMA PP3 splice threshold of 0.2. However, the ENIGMA BRCA2 specification states that PP3 should not be applied when PVS1 is met at any strength, so PP3 is not applied here. |
