Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.8009C>G (p.Ser2670Trp) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar, including a Pathogenic expert-panel classification by the ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1 and BRCA2 Variant Curation Expert Panel.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and absent from gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in population controls and meeting PM2_Supporting under the BRCA2 VCEP framework.
3
In the BRCA2 VCEP functional assay table, this variant is recorded with splice alteration evidence including exon 18 deletion, but the reviewed evidence was not accepted for PS3 or BS3 code application, so neither functional criterion is met from the available curated data.
4
For computational evidence, REVEL is 0.825, but the BRCA2 VCEP rule uses BayesDel and SpliceAI; BayesDel no-AF is 0.159332 and SpliceAI max delta score is 0.03, which supports BP4 and does not meet PP3 thresholds.
Final determination:
Using the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 v1.2 conflicting-evidence point system, PM2_Supporting (+1) and PP5_Supporting (+1) offset by BP4_Supporting (-1) yield a net score of 1 point, which falls within the Uncertain Significance range.
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 is a missense substitution, NM_000059.3:c.8009C>G (p.Ser2670Trp), rather than a nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1/2 splice-site, initiation-codon, or exon-level deletion/duplication variant. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect (max delta score 0.03), so available evidence does not support applying PVS1. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No previously established pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant causing the same amino acid change or the same predicted splicing outcome was identified in the reviewed materials, so PS1 was not assessed from the available evidence. |
cspec

|
| PS2 | N/A | De novo occurrence evidence is not used in this BRCA2 specification, so PS2 is not applicable. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | In the BRCA2 VCEP functional table, this variant is recorded as a missense variant with splice alteration evidence, including exon 18 deletion, but the available evidence was not accepted for PS3 code application. The table states that results from one calibrated study with a cDNA-based design were not considered for code application, so PS3 is not met. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No case-control study or other reviewed dataset was identified showing that this variant is significantly enriched in affected individuals with an odds ratio of at least 4 and p value of 0.05 or less. Available evidence is insufficient to assess PS4. |

| PM1 | N/A | PM1 is not applied in this BRCA2 specification because domain and hotspot information are incorporated into the bioinformatic framework rather than used as a separate criterion. |

|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and absent from gnomAD v4.1, which supports rarity in population controls under the BRCA2 VCEP framework. This meets PM2 at supporting strength. |

cspec
|
| PM5 | N/A | For BRCA2, PM5 is repurposed for protein-truncating-variant logic rather than classic same-residue missense comparison. Because this is a missense variant and the PM5 candidate review marked classic same-residue PM5 as ineligible, PM5 is not applicable. |

cspec
|
| PP3 | Not met | This missense variant lies within the BRCA2 DNA-binding region used by the BRCA2 VCEP bioinformatic framework, but the computational thresholds for PP3 are not met. BayesDel no-AF is 0.159332, which is below the pathogenic threshold of 0.30, and SpliceAI max delta score is 0.03, which is below the splice threshold of 0.2. REVEL is 0.825, but the BRCA2 VCEP rule uses BayesDel and SpliceAI rather than REVEL for PP3/BP4 adjudication. |

| BP1 | Not met | This missense variant is located within the BRCA2 DNA-binding region (amino acids 2481-3186), which is treated as a clinically important functional domain in the BRCA2 VCEP framework. Because BP1_Strong requires a missense or silent variant outside a clinically important functional domain and with no predicted splice effect, BP1 is not met. |
