Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.7057G>C (p.Gly2353Arg) variant has been reported in ClinVar, where the aggregate record includes an ENIGMA expert panel Benign classification.
2
This variant is present in gnomAD, with grpmax filter allele frequencies of 2.859e-05 in v2.1 and 8.841e-05 in v4.1, which are above the ENIGMA BS1_Supporting threshold of 0.00002 and do not reach the BS1 Strong threshold of 0.0001.
3
In a calibrated BRCA2 functional study, this variant showed protein function similar to benign control variants, including observed complementation and an HDR score of 82, and ENIGMA Table 9 assigns BS3 Strong.
4
Computational evidence does not support a damaging effect: SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.01, BayesDel no-AF is -0.110167, and codon 2353 lies outside the BRCA2 ENIGMA clinically important missense domains, supporting BP1 rather than PP3.
Final determination:
Benign classification is supported because two strong benign criteria are met (BS3 and BP1), which satisfies the ENIGMA Table 3 benign combining rule.

Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | N/A | This missense variant does not fall within the BRCA2 null-variant or canonical splice-site categories used for PVS1, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.01). |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this amino acid change is the same protein consequence as a previously established pathogenic BRCA2 variant acting through the protein rather than splicing. |

cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | The BRCA2 ENIGMA specification does not use PS2 for this gene-specific framework. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | Available functional evidence does not support a damaging effect. In a calibrated BRCA2 functional dataset, this variant showed protein function similar to benign control variants, so PS3 is not met. |

|
| PS4 | Not met | Available data do not show statistically significant enrichment in affected individuals at the ENIGMA PS4 threshold. No case-control evidence meeting the required significance standard was identified, and the available multifactorial dataset shows a case-control likelihood ratio of 1.88 rather than strong case enrichment. |

| PM1 | N/A | PM1 is not used in the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Not met | This variant is present in population databases and therefore does not meet ENIGMA PM2, which requires absence from controls. In gnomAD v2.1 the variant has AF 4.78332e-05 with grpmax FAF 2.859e-05, and in gnomAD v4.1 it has AF 7.74713e-05 with grpmax FAF 8.841e-05. |

| PM5 | N/A | In the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification, PM5 is used for protein-truncating variants in eligible exons rather than for this missense substitution. |

| PP1 | Not met | Available family data do not support co-segregation with disease. The reviewed multifactorial dataset shows a segregation likelihood ratio of 0.345, which is below the PP1 threshold of 2.08 and instead supports BS4. |

This residue lies outside the BRCA2 ENIGMA missense functional domains, BayesDel no-AF is -0.110167 which is below the PP3 threshold of 0.30, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.01, below the PP3 splice threshold of 0.2. |

| BP1 | Met | This missense variant is outside the BRCA2 ENIGMA clinically important missense domains and has no predicted splice impact. Residue 2353 lies outside the PALB2 binding domain (aa 10-40) and DNA-binding region (aa 2481-3186), and SpliceAI is 0.01, below the no-splicing-impact threshold of 0.1, so BP1_Strong is met. |
