Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.7685T>G (p.Phe2562Cys; p.F2562C) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar, where the ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1/2 expert panel classifies it as likely pathogenic.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in population controls.
3
In a calibrated BRCA2 functional study summarized by the ENIGMA functional assay table, this variant showed protein function similar to pathogenic control variants, supporting PS3_Strong.
4
This missense change lies in the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain; BayesDel no-AF is 0.421539, which is above the ENIGMA PP3 threshold of 0.30, REVEL is 0.921, and SpliceAI predicts little splice effect with a maximum delta score of 0.01.
5
In the BRCA2 clinical-history likelihood-ratio dataset, this variant has an LR of 0.9916 in 1 proband, which is within the neutral zone and does not support PP4 or BP5.
Final determination:
Under ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Specification Table 3, one strong pathogenic criterion (PS3_Strong) together with at least two supporting pathogenic criteria supports a Likely Pathogenic 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BP4 | Not met | This missense variant is in the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (amino acids 2481-3186), where ENIGMA applies BP4 only when BayesDel no-AF is less than or equal to 0.18 and SpliceAI is less than or equal to 0.1. SpliceAI is low at 0.01, but BayesDel is 0.421539, which is above the benign threshold and does not support BP4. |

| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified to show co-segregation of this variant with disease in affected relatives, so PP1 cannot be assessed from the available evidence. |
cspec
vcep_specifications_v1_2_2024_11_18
|
| BS1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, so it does not meet the ENIGMA BRCA2 BS1 frequency threshold of filter allele frequency greater than 0.00002 for supporting or greater than 0.0001 for strong benign evidence. |

| PM3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified that this variant was observed in trans with another BRCA2 variant in an individual with a phenotype consistent with BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia, so PM3 cannot be assessed. |

| PP4 | Not met | In the BRCA2 clinical-history likelihood-ratio resource, this variant has an LR of 0.9916 in 1 proband. This value is within the neutral zone between 0.48 and 2.08 and therefore does not support PP4. |

| PVS1 | N/A | This is a missense substitution rather than a nonsense, frameshift, canonical splice-site, initiation-codon, or exon-level loss-of-function variant. SpliceAI predicts no meaningful splice disruption with a maximum delta score of 0.01, so available evidence does not support applying PVS1. |

| BP1 | Not met | This missense variant is within the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain at residue 2562, and ENIGMA applies BP1_Strong only to silent, missense, or in-frame variants outside clinically important domains with no predicted splice effect. Although SpliceAI is low at 0.01, the domain criterion for BP1 is not met. |
