missense · exon 10

BRCA1 encodes a large nuclear protein that helps maintain genomic stability by coordinating the repair of DNA double-strand breaks through homologous recombination, and it also regulates transcription and the cell cycle. It acts as a tumor suppressor, working with proteins such as RAD51, BRCA2, BARD1, and PALB2 to preserve genome integrity. Inherited alterations in BRCA1 cause hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, with elevated risks of breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, and biallelic loss underlies a rare form of Fanconi anemia. Because BRCA1-driven tumors rely on impaired DNA repair, they are treatable with PARP inhibitors.

This variant

This BRCA1 missense change affects a tumor-suppressor protein involved in homologous-recombination DNA repair and is relevant to inherited breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility.

VUS: BP1 Strong is the only applied criterion, and ENIGMA Table 3 requires multiple benign evidence types for a single Strong benign criterion to support Likely Benign.
Classification rationale
BP1 VUS
BRCA1 c.3245C>T missense · exon 10

BP1 Strong met: Ala1082 is outside approved BRCA1 functional domains and SpliceAI is 0.008. VUS: BP1 Strong alone lacks the multiple benign evidence types required for Likely Benign under ENIGMA Table 3.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Met at strong: Ala1082 is outside all approved BRCA1 domains and SpliceAI max delta 0.008 is below the ENIGMA <=0.1 threshold.
ENIGMA BP1_Strong applies to missense variants outside a potentially clinically important functional domain with no predicted splicing, using SpliceAI <=0.1.Ala1082 is outside the ENIGMA BRCA1 domains RING aa 2-101, coiled-coil aa 1391-1424, and BRCT repeats aa 1650-1857.The case SpliceAI max delta is 0.008, satisfying the ENIGMA no-predicted-splicing threshold.

Pathogenic
PS1 Not assessed: SpliceAI max delta is 0.008, but no previously pathogenic p.Ala1082 substitution was identified for the required same-amino-acid comparison.
PS3 Not assessed: no variant-level PS3 recommendation or functional assay result was found for c.3245C>T/p.Ala1082Val in the governing VCEP sources.
PS4 Not assessed: no variant-specific case-control odds ratio, p-value, or confidence interval was available to evaluate the ENIGMA PS4 thresholds.
PM2 Not assessed: the variant is absent from both specified non-cancer gnomAD datasets, but the required regional average read depth of at least 25 is not reported.
PM3 Not assessed: no documented same-gene pathogenic/likely pathogenic variant in trans or Fanconi-anemia phenotype is available for point assignment.
PP1 Not assessed: no variant-specific segregation LR or affected-relative data were available, and the governing multifactorial table contained no c.3245C>T entry.
PP3 Not met: REVEL 0.481 is below the >=0.644 supporting PP3 threshold for missense variants.
PP4 Not assessed: no combined multifactorial likelihood ratio was available for comparison with the PP4 supporting threshold of >=2.08:1.
Benign
BA1 Not met: the variant is absent from the specified non-cancer gnomAD datasets, so its filter allele frequency does not exceed the 0.001 BA1 threshold.
BS1 Not met: absence from the specified non-cancer gnomAD datasets provides no filter allele frequency above 0.00002, the minimum BS1 threshold.
BS2 Not assessed: no qualifying proband-level phase, homozygote, age/follow-up, cancer-status, or Fanconi Anemia data are available for the BS2 point system.
BS3 Not assessed: no variant-level BS3 recommendation or functional assay result was found for c.3245C>T/p.Ala1082Val in the governing VCEP sources.
BS4 Not assessed: no variant-specific non-segregation LR or family genotype data were available, and the governing multifactorial table contained no c.3245C>T entry.
BP4 Not met: REVEL 0.481 is above the <=0.29 supporting BP4 threshold for missense variants.
BP5 Not assessed: no combined multifactorial likelihood ratio was available to test against the BP5 supporting inequality LR <=0.48:1.
