Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BRCA2 c.7961T>C (p.Leu2654Pro) variant has been reported in ClinVar with an expert-panel classification of uncertain significance and mixed submitter assertions.
2
This variant is present at very low frequency in population databases, including 1/31,406 alleles in gnomAD v2.1 and 3/1,614,066 alleles in gnomAD v4.1, which argues against PM2 and does not reach BA1 or BS1 thresholds.
3
In the ENIGMA BRCA2 curated functional dataset, this variant has discordant calibrated assay results, so the available functional evidence does not support either PS3 or BS3.
4
Computational evidence supports a damaging protein effect because the variant lies in the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain, BayesDel no-AF is 0.314702 above the PP3 threshold of 0.30, REVEL is 0.82, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect with a max delta score of 0.02.
Final determination:
With PP3_Supporting as the only met criterion and no benign or additional pathogenic criteria meeting an ENIGMA Table 3 combination for likely pathogenic, pathogenic, likely benign, or benign, the variant is classified as 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 | Not met | This variant is a missense substitution, not a nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1/2 splice-site variant, and no RNA evidence showing an abnormal loss-of-function transcript was identified. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta 0.02), so PVS1 is not met. |

| PS1 | Not assessed | No verified evidence was identified showing that this variant produces the same pathogenic amino-acid change or the same pathogenic splicing effect as a previously classified pathogenic or likely pathogenic BRCA2 variant, so PS1 was not assessed. |
cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | This criterion is not used in the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification for this framework. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | In the ENIGMA BRCA2 functional table, this variant is summarized as having discordant results across two or more calibrated studies. One study reported a damaging effect and another placed the result between benign and pathogenic controls, so the available functional evidence does not support PS3. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No case-control study, odds ratio, or quantitative enrichment data were identified showing this variant is significantly more common in affected individuals than in controls, so PS4 was not assessed. |

|
| PM2 | Not met | This variant is not absent from population databases. It is present in gnomAD v2.1 at 1/31,406 alleles (AF 3.1841e-05) and in gnomAD v4.1 at 3/1,614,066 alleles (AF 1.85866e-06), so PM2 is not met. |

| PM5 | N/A | In the BRCA2 ENIGMA specification, PM5 is repurposed for protein-truncating variants in exons where a different proven pathogenic truncating variant has been observed. This variant is missense, so PM5 is not applicable. |

| PP3 | Met | This missense variant lies within the BRCA2 DNA-binding domain (aa 2481-3186). BayesDel no-AF is 0.314702, which is above the ENIGMA PP3 threshold of ≥0.30, REVEL is 0.82, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect (max delta 0.02), supporting a damaging protein effect; therefore PP3 is met at supporting strength. |

| PP4 | Not met | The BRCA2 clinical-history likelihood ratio for this variant is 1.4293 in 2 probands. This is below the ENIGMA PP4 supporting threshold of ≥2.08, so PP4 is not met. |

| BS2 | Not assessed | No qualifying observations were identified showing this variant in individuals without features of BRCA2-related Fanconi anemia under the ENIGMA BS2 scoring framework, so BS2 was not assessed. |

|
| BS3 | Not met | In the ENIGMA BRCA2 functional table, this variant is summarized as having discordant results across calibrated studies rather than a consistent normal-function result. Because the curated table does not assign BS3, the available functional evidence does not support BS3. |
