Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA1 c.2063del (p.Thr688LysfsTer13; p.T688Kfs*13) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in population controls.
3
This frameshift deletion occurs in BRCA1 exon 10 (legacy exon 11) and is predicted to introduce a premature termination codon; under the ENIGMA BRCA1 specification, truncating variants in this exon meet PVS1 and the exon also carries PM5_Strong (PTC).
4
SpliceAI predicts no significant additional splice impact for this deletion, with a maximum delta score of 0.00.
Final determination:
Pathogenic based on 1 Very Strong pathogenic criterion (PVS1) and 1 Strong pathogenic criterion (PM5) under the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Table 3 combination rules.

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 BRCA1 exon 10 (legacy exon 11) predicted to cause p.(Thr688LysfsTer13). Under the ENIGMA BRCA1 specification, truncating variants in this exon meet PVS1, consistent with BRCA1 loss of function as an established disease mechanism. |

|
| PS1 | N/A | This is a frameshift deletion, not a missense variant and not an alternate nucleotide change with the same defined splicing effect as a previously classified pathogenic variant, so PS1 does not apply. |

|
| PS2 | N/A | The ENIGMA BRCA1 specification lists PS2 as not applicable in this framework. |

|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No variant-specific calibrated functional study result was identified for this frameshift variant in the curated ENIGMA functional assay resources, so PS3 was not applied. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No case-control study or quantified enrichment data were identified for this exact variant, so PS4 cannot be applied. |
|
| PM1 | N/A | PM1 is not used for this frameshift variant in the BRCA1 ENIGMA framework, which applies domain-based PM1 logic to specific missense contexts rather than truncating variants. |
cspec

| PM5 | Met | This protein-truncating variant occurs in BRCA1 exon 10 (legacy exon 11), an exon designated PM5_Strong (PTC) in the ENIGMA BRCA1 exon table, indicating that different proven pathogenic protein-truncating variants have been observed in this exon. |

| PP3 | N/A | PP3 in the ENIGMA BRCA1 framework is used for qualifying missense, in-frame, silent, or intronic variants with predicted damaging protein or splicing effects. This variant is a frameshift deletion, so PP3 does not apply. |
