Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_007294.4:c.302-10_302-5delinsATTTTA is an intronic indel in BRCA1 intron 5 (legacy intron 6), spanning positions -10 to -5 relative to exon 6. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.01).
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 population databases, though intronic coverage in exome data cannot be reliably confirmed (ac=null, an=null).
3
The variant has not been reported in ClinVar (0 submissions) and has not been identified in COSMIC somatic cancer databases.
4
Under ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP v1.2, BP4_Supporting is met: the variant is intronic, outside canonical donor/acceptor splice sites (±1,2), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta 0.01 ≤ 0.1).
5
PVS1 is not met: the variant is an intronic indel outside the canonical splice consensus (±1,2) and does not qualify as a null variant under ENIGMA criteria. No functional or mRNA splicing data are available for PVS1_RNA.
6
PM2 is not met: intronic positions lack reliable coverage depth confirmation in gnomAD exome data. PS3/BS3 are not met: no functional assay data exist for this variant in ENIGMA Table 9 or Supplementary Table 4. PP4/BP5 are not met: the variant is not listed in the Li et al. 2020 (PMID:31853058) clinical-history LR table.
7
With only BP4_Supporting met, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) under ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP v1.2 criteria.
Final determination:
ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP v1.2 Table 3: a single Supporting (Benign) criterion (BP4) does not meet any Likely Benign combination. No pathogenic criteria are met. Result: VUS.
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 | Intronic indel at positions c.302-10 to c.302-5, outside the canonical splice acceptor consensus (±1,2). Does not meet ENIGMA VCEP v1.2 PVS1 criteria for null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1,2 splice site, initiation codon, or exon deletion). SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.01). |

|
| PS1 | Not met | No previously classified pathogenic variant with the same predicted splicing impact identified at this intronic location. ENIGMA PS1 requires a comparator pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant with the same predicted effect on splicing. |

cspec
|
| PS2 | N/A | ENIGMA VCEP v1.2: de novo criterion not applicable for BRCA1/2. BRCA1/2-related cancers occur relatively commonly; no calibration data exist for de novo occurrences. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | No functional assay data available for this intronic indel. Not present in ENIGMA Table 9 curated functional assay results. No variant-specific or systematic-range functional studies identified in the literature. ENIGMA ST3 splicing references catalogue nearby variants (c.302-2del, c.302-3C>G) but not c.302-10_302-5delinsATTTTA. |

|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control data available. Variant absent from ClinVar with zero submissions. No disease-association reports identified. No case-control odds ratio or prevalence data sufficient for ENIGMA PS4 (p≤0.05 and OR≥4). |
clinvar
|
| PS5 | N/A | PS5 (novel missense at same codon as established pathogenic missense) does not apply to intronic indel variants. Not defined as a separate criterion in the ENIGMA BRCA1/2 VCEP v1.2 specification. |
cspec
|
| PM1 | N/A | ENIGMA VCEP v1.2: PM1 not applicable for BRCA1/2. Hotspot/domain analysis is captured by bioinformatic code application (PP3/BP4). |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Not met | Variant positions (c.302-10 to c.302-5) lie within intron 5. gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 report null allele counts (ac=null, an=null), indicating insufficient exome capture coverage for reliable intronic frequency assessment. ENIGMA PM2_Supporting requires adequate read depth (≥25) across the variant region; intronic coverage in exome data cannot be confirmed. |

|
| PM4 | N/A | ENIGMA VCEP v1.2: PM4 not applicable for BRCA1/2. Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions are assessed via the bioinformatic code framework (PP3/BP4). |
cspec
|
| PM5 | Not met | ENIGMA VCEP v1.2 repurposes PM5 for protein termination codon (PTC) variants only (PM5_PTC), applicable when an exon harbors a previously proven pathogenic PTC. This intronic indel at positions -10 to -5 does not create a PTC and is not eligible for PM5_PTC assessment. ENIGMA ST1 assigns PM5_Strong(PTC) to exon 6(7) but only for PTC-generating variants. |

| PP1 | Not met | No co-segregation data available. No family studies or quantitative co-segregation analysis (Bayes score) identified for this variant. |

| PP2 | N/A | ENIGMA VCEP v1.2: PP2 not applicable for BRCA1/2. Missense constraint (Z-score) is captured within the bioinformatic code framework. |
cspec

| PP3 | Not met | SpliceAI max delta score 0.01, well below the ENIGMA threshold of ≥0.2 for predicted splicing impact (PP3). BayesDel not applicable for indels. ENIGMA PP3 for predicted splicing impact is not met. |
