Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.8023A>G (p.Ile2675Val) variant has not been observed in somatic cancers in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic by the ClinGen ENIGMA BRCA1/2 expert panel.
2
This variant is present at very low frequency in population databases, with 1/251076 alleles in gnomAD v2.1 and 1/1614050 alleles in gnomAD v4.1, with no homozygotes reported.
3
In published splice studies summarized in the ENIGMA-aligned BRCA resource, this variant generated a strong donor site within exon 18 and was associated with a predominant exon 18-deleted transcript; the multifactorial dataset also shows a segregation likelihood ratio of 605.14 and an overall posterior probability of pathogenicity of 0.999651.
4
Computational evidence supports splice disruption, with SpliceAI 0.99 exceeding the BRCA2 ENIGMA PP3 threshold of 0.2; REVEL is high at 0.88, while BayesDel is 0.086 and does not support a benign BP4 call because SpliceAI is above the BP4 threshold of 0.1.
Final determination:
Pathogenic based on 1 very strong pathogenic criterion and at least 2 supporting pathogenic criteria under the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Table 3 combining rules.
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 | RNA studies identified a predominant in-frame exon 18 deletion transcript for this variant, but the available evidence does not show a canonical null allele or provide a clear ENIGMA PVS1(RNA) weight for this specific event. Available evidence therefore does not support applying PVS1 at this time. |

| PS1 | Not met | No qualifying previously classified pathogenic or likely pathogenic comparator with the same proven protein or splicing consequence was identified for PS1 application. |
cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | This criterion is not used in the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | Published evidence shows abnormal splicing rather than a calibrated protein-function assay result for this variant. Under the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification, mRNA-only damaging evidence is considered under PVS1(RNA) rather than PS3, and no qualifying Table 9 PS3 assignment was identified. |

| PS4 | Not assessed | Multifactorial pathogenic evidence was identified for this variant, but no direct case-control odds ratio with p-value meeting the BRCA2 ENIGMA PS4 threshold was extracted from the retrieved evidence. PS4 was therefore not assessed. |

| PM1 | N/A | This criterion is not used in the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Not met | This variant is not absent from population databases. It is present in gnomAD v2.1 at 1/251076 alleles (AF 3.98e-06) and in gnomAD v4.1 at 1/1614050 alleles (AF 6.20e-07), so the ENIGMA requirement for absence from controls is not met. |

cspec
|
| PM5 | N/A | For BRCA2 ENIGMA, PM5 is repurposed for truncating or protein-termination-codon logic rather than classic same-residue missense comparison. This missense variant is therefore not eligible for PM5. |
