Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T (p.Gln1782Ter) is a nonsense variant in BRCA2 exon 11, creating a premature termination codon at position 1782 of 3418 amino acids. ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Specification v1.2 Table 4 assigns PVS1 (Very Strong) to PTC variants in exon 11.
2
ENIGMA Table 4 assigns PM5_Strong (PTC) to PTC variants in BRCA2 exon 11, where other proven pathogenic PTC variants have been established.
3
The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 population databases, meeting ENIGMA PM2_Supporting.
4
This variant has been classified as Pathogenic by the ENIGMA expert panel in ClinVar (Variation ID 51842), supported by 9 clinical laboratory submissions.
5
Applying the ENIGMA Table 3 point system: PVS1 (Very Strong = 8 points) + PM5_Strong (PTC) (Strong = 4 points) + PM2_Supporting (Supporting = 1 point) = 13 points, which reaches the Pathogenic threshold (>= 10 points).
Final determination: ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 v1.2.0 Table 3: 1 Very Strong (PVS1) + 1 Strong (PM5_Strong) satisfies the all_of Pathogenic combination rule; the point total of 14 (PVS1=8 + PM5_Strong=4 + PM2=1 + PP5=1) exceeds the Pathogenic threshold of >= 10.

Criterion Status Rationale Evidence used
PVS1 Met NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is a nonsense variant (p.Gln1782Ter / p.Q1782*) in BRCA2 exon 11, creating a premature termination codon. Loss of function is the established disease mechanism for BRCA2. ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 Specification v1.2 Table 4 assigns PVS1 (Very Strong) to PTC variants in exon 11. The variant is on MANE Select transcript NM_000059.4.

PS1 N/A PS1 in the ENIGMA framework applies to missense substitutions at the same amino acid position as a known pathogenic variant, or to splicing variants with the same predicted splicing impact. NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is a nonsense variant creating a stop codon, not a missense or splicing variant.
cspec
PS2 N/A PS2 (de novo) is designated as Not Applicable in the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC criteria set.
cspec
PS3 Not assessed ENIGMA Table 9 (curated functional assay results) covers missense and synonymous variants only. NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is a nonsense variant and is not listed in Table 9. No calibrated functional assay result is available for this variant under the ENIGMA PS3 framework. The functional consequence of protein truncation is addressed by PVS1.
vcep_specifications_table9_v1_2_2024_11_18
PS4 Not met ENIGMA PS4 requires a case-control study with p-value <= 0.05 and odds ratio >= 4 (lower confidence interval excludes 2.0). No published case-control study meeting these thresholds was identified for NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T. The variant is absent from gnomAD population databases, precluding case-control comparison.

PS5 N/A PS5 is not included in the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC criteria set and is designated as not applicable under this framework.
cspec
PM1 N/A PM1 is designated as Not Applicable in the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC criteria set.
cspec
PM2 Met NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (non-cancer, exome only subset) and gnomAD v3.1 (non-cancer). Per ENIGMA PM2 rule, absence from both outbred population databases in a region with adequate read depth qualifies for PM2_Supporting.

PM5 Met NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is a protein termination codon (PTC) variant in BRCA2 exon 11. ENIGMA Table 4 assigns PM5_Strong (PTC) to PTC variants in exon 11, where other proven pathogenic PTC variants have been observed. The PM5_PTC code applies additive weight to PVS1-eligible truncating variants in this exon.

PM6 N/A PM6 is designated as Not Applicable in the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC criteria set.

PP1 Not assessed ENIGMA PP1 requires quantitative cosegregation analysis with a Bayes score meeting specific LR thresholds (Supporting >= 2.08:1, Moderate >= 4.3:1, Strong >= 18.7:1). No cosegregation LR data was identified for NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T in the available VCEP materials or published literature.
cspec
PP2 N/A PP2 is designated as Not Applicable in the ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 CSPEC criteria set. PP2 (missense in a gene with low rate of benign missense variation) is not used for BRCA2.
cspec
PP3 N/A ENIGMA PP3 applies to missense or in-frame variants inside a clinically important functional domain with BayesDel no-AF score >= 0.30, or to variants with SpliceAI >= 0.2. NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is a nonsense variant and does not fall under PP3 rules. SpliceAI max delta = 0.00 (no splicing impact predicted). ENIGMA v1.2 specification clarification notes that PP3 should not be stacked when PVS1 is met.

PP4 Not assessed ENIGMA PP4 is assessed via clinical-history likelihood ratio from Li et al. 2020 (PMID:31853058). NM_000059.4:c.5344C>T is not listed in the BRCA2 clinical-history LR spreadsheet. The related variant c.5344C>G has LR=0.70 (neutral zone, 0.48-2.08), which does not support PP4 application. No clinical-history LR data is available for c.5344C>T.
