BP1_Strong is met: c.750G>A is a silent (synonymous) substitution (p.Val250=) located outside both BRCA2 clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding domain aa10-40 and DNA binding domain aa2481-3186), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00, ≤ 0.1 threshold).1 BS1_Supporting is met: the gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exome filter allele frequency (FAF) is 4.75e-05 (0.00475%), falling in the ENIGMA BS1_Supporting range (FAF > 0.002% and ≤ 0.01%). The highest population sub-frequency is in European (non-Finnish) at 7.77e-05 (10/128,766 alleles).2 PM2_Supporting is not met because the variant is present in gnomAD population databases (11 alleles in v2.1, 134 alleles in v4.1), failing the ENIGMA requirement of absence from outbred population controls.3 PP3 is not met: SpliceAI max delta is 0.00 (< 0.2) and the variant is outside clinically important functional domains, failing both PP3 application pathways in the ENIGMA specification.4 BA1 (Stand-Alone Benign) is not met: gnomAD grpmax FAF of 4.75e-05 (v2.1) and 9.28e-05 (v4.1) are both well below the 0.1% (FAF > 0.001) threshold.5 BS3, BS4, PP1, PP4, BP5, and BP7 are not assessed due to absence of variant-specific functional, segregation, or clinical-history LR data in the ENIGMA VCEP-curated datasets (Table 9, clinical_history_LR.xlsx, HUMU-40-1557-s001, ST7).6 PVS1, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, PM1, PM5, PM6, PP2, PP5, BP2, BP3, BP6 are not applicable for this synonymous variant under the ENIGMA VCEP framework.7 Under the ENIGMA Table 3 combination rules, 1 Strong Benign criterion (BP1_Strong) plus 1 Supporting Benign criterion (BS1_Supporting) reaches the threshold for Likely Benign. Under the ENIGMA point system: BP1_Strong = -4 points, BS1_Supporting = -1 point, total = -5 points (Likely Benign range: -6 to -2).8 ClinVar lists this variant as Likely Benign with expert panel review status by ENIGMA (ClinVar ID 135814), with 10 clinical laboratories reporting Likely Benign and 5 reporting Benign. This clinical consensus is concordant with the ENIGMA framework-based assessment.9

BRCA2
BP1_Strong is met: c.750G>A is a silent (synonymous) substitution (p.Val250=) located outside both BRCA2 clinically important functional domains (PALB2 binding domain aa10-40 and DNA binding domain aa2481-3186), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.00, ≤ 0.1 threshold).
ENIGMA BRCA1/BRCA2 VCEP v1.2.0 Table 3 combination rules applied to adjudicated criteria. One Strong Benign criterion (BP1_Strong) plus two Supporting Benign criteria (BS1_Supporting, BP6_Supporting) independently satisfy multiple Likely Benign rules: 1 Strong (Benign) + 1 Supporting (Benign) and 2 Supporting (Benign). No pathogenic criteria are met; no conflicting evidence present. ENIGMA point system (conflicting_evidence only) confirms: BP1_Strong (-4) + BS1_Supporting (-1) + BP6_Supporting (-1) = -6, within Likely Benign range (-6 to -2). ClinVar expert panel (ENIGMA) also reports Likely Benign (ClinVar ID 135814).
