Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA1 c.615_622dup (p.Thr208AsnfsTer29; p.T208Nfs*29) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar, where the ClinGen ENIGMA expert panel classified it as uncertain significance.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity, although the available documentation was insufficient to assign BRCA1 ENIGMA PM2_Supporting under the full dataset and coverage requirements.
3
Under the ENIGMA BRCA1 specification, this frameshift lies in exon 9(10), an exon designated PVS1_N/A and PM5_N/A for protein-truncating variants because rescue of an in-frame transcript is expected, so truncating status alone does not support PVS1 or PM5.
4
SpliceAI shows a maximum delta score of 0.11, which is below the BRCA1 splice PP3 threshold of 0.20 and above the BP4 no-impact threshold of 0.10; however, the BRCA1 computational rules are not designed to add PP3 or BP4 evidence for this frameshift variant.
Final determination:
No pathogenic or benign criteria were met; under the ENIGMA Table 3 combination framework, this results in a classification of 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 | N/A | This variant is a frameshift change, but the ENIGMA BRCA1 specification designates protein-truncating variants in exon 9(10) as PVS1_N/A because rescue of an in-frame transcript is expected in this region. Therefore, the truncating consequence alone does not support PVS1 for this variant. |

|
| PS1 | N/A | PS1 is used for the same amino-acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant, or for the same predicted splicing effect as a known pathogenic variant. This frameshift duplication does not match that evidence model. |
cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification does not use PS2 for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA PS3 framework uses calibrated functional evidence for specific missense or synonymous variants. No calibrated protein-based functional result was identified for this frameshift duplication, and the available functional tables are not designed to assign PS3 to this variant type. |
cspec
vcep_specifications_table9_v1_2_2024_11_18
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | This variant has been reported in ClinVar, but no case-control data were identified showing a significant enrichment in affected individuals with p-value 0.05 or less and odds ratio 4 or greater. Available evidence does not support PS4 at this time. |
clinvar
cspec
|
| PM1 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification lists PM1 as not applicable in this framework, and this variant is a truncating duplication rather than a missense change evaluated by domain-based PM1 rules. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Not assessed | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, which is consistent with rarity. However, the BRCA1 ENIGMA PM2 rule requires absence in the specified control datasets together with adequate regional coverage, and those coverage requirements were not documented here, so PM2_Supporting was not assigned. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | PM3 in the BRCA1 ENIGMA specification is reserved for BRCA1- or BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia with qualifying trans observations and point-based evidence. No such recessive-disease or trans-phase evidence was identified for this variant. |
cspec
|
| PM4 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification does not use PM4 in this framework. |
cspec
|
| PM5 | N/A | For BRCA1, PM5 is repurposed for protein-truncating variants rather than classic same-residue missense logic. This variant is in exon 9(10), and ENIGMA Table 4 designates protein-truncating variants in this exon as PM5_N/A, so PM5 is not applicable. |

|
| PM6 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification does not use PM6 for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No quantitative co-segregation data were identified for this variant. Available evidence does not provide a segregation likelihood ratio meeting BRCA1 ENIGMA PP1 thresholds. |

|
| PP2 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification does not use PP2 in this framework. |
cspec
|
| PP3 | N/A | BRCA1 ENIGMA PP3 applies to missense or in-frame variants in defined functional domains with BayesDel support, or to variants with predicted splice impact when SpliceAI is 0.20 or greater. This variant is a frameshift duplication, and SpliceAI shows a maximum delta score of 0.11, below the splice PP3 threshold, so PP3 was not applied. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No variant-level clinical-history likelihood ratio meeting ENIGMA PP4 thresholds was identified for this variant in the reviewed BRCA1 clinical-history materials. Therefore, PP4 was not assigned. |

| BS2 | Not assessed | BS2 in the BRCA1 ENIGMA framework requires point-based evidence from individuals without features of recessive disease, specifically Fanconi anemia. No such proband-level evidence was identified for this variant. |
cspec
|
| BS3 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA BS3 framework uses calibrated functional evidence for specific missense or synonymous variants. No calibrated functional evidence showing no damaging effect was identified for this frameshift duplication. |

| BP1 | N/A | BP1_Strong in the BRCA1 ENIGMA specification is used for silent, missense, or in-frame variants outside defined functional domains with no predicted splice effect. This frameshift duplication does not match that evidence model. |

| BP2 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification does not use BP2 in this framework. |

| BP3 | N/A | The BRCA1 ENIGMA specification does not use BP3 in this framework. |

| BP4 | N/A | BRCA1 ENIGMA BP4 applies to selected missense, in-frame, silent, or intronic variants with no predicted splice impact, including SpliceAI 0.10 or less in the relevant contexts. This variant is a frameshift duplication, and SpliceAI is 0.11, so BP4 was not applied. |
