Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.4516T>C (p.Phe1506Leu; p.F1506L) variant has been reported in ClinVar with conflicting classifications, including uncertain significance and likely benign submissions.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and present at very low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (3/1,613,958 alleles; AF 0.00019%), with the highest observed frequency 1/6,062 alleles in the Middle Eastern population (AF 0.01650%).
3
No variant-specific calibrated functional assay classification was identified in the reviewed BRCA2 ENIGMA functional tables, and no variant-specific reviewed functional evidence was identified in curated somatic reviewer resources.
4
The substitution lies outside the BRCA2 clinically important domains defined by ENIGMA, SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect (max delta score 0.00), and missense predictor scores are low (REVEL 0.093; BayesDel no-AF -0.650576), supporting a benign computational profile.
Final determination:
A single strong benign criterion, without an additional benign criterion from a distinct evidence type, does not meet ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Table 3 thresholds for Likely Benign or Benign classification; the variant is classified as Uncertain Significance.
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 | Not met | This variant is a missense substitution, not a nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1/2 splice, or other predicted loss-of-function variant, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect (max delta score 0.00). Available evidence does not support applying PVS1 or PVS1(RNA). |

| PS1 | Not assessed | No qualifying previously classified pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant causing the same amino acid change or the same predicted splice effect was identified from the available evidence, so PS1 was not applied. |

| PM1 | N/A | PM1 is not used as a standalone criterion in this BRCA2 VCEP framework because domain context is incorporated into other criteria. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 but is present in gnomAD v4.1 at 3/1,613,958 alleles (AF 0.00019%), with the highest observed frequency 1/6,062 alleles in the Middle Eastern population (AF 0.01650%). ENIGMA BRCA2 applies PM2 only for variants absent from control datasets, so PM2 was not applied. |

| PM5 | N/A | In this BRCA2 VCEP framework, PM5 is restricted to protein-truncating variants under the PM5_PTC rules. This variant is a missense substitution, so PM5 is not applicable. |

Missense predictor scores are low, with REVEL 0.093 and BayesDel no-AF -0.650576, which are not consistent with the ENIGMA PP3 thresholds for pathogenic computational evidence, so PP3 was not applied. |
