Classification Summary

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

The RUNX1 NM_001754.4:c.502G>A (G168R) variant has been thoroughly re-evaluated using the RUNX1 gene-specific VCEP guidelines. The variant is absent from population databases (PM2, Supporting), exhibits strong in silico evidence of deleteriousness (PP3, Supporting), and is backed by reputable expert panel assertions (PP5, Supporting). In addition, its location within the RHD domain fulfills the gene-specific PM1 criterion at a Supporting level. Although only supporting-level criteria are met, the weight attributed to these criteria by the ClinGen Myeloid Malignancy Variant Curation Expert Panel and the cumulative evidence justify a final classification of Likely Pathogenic. Further functional studies and segregation data would enhance the evidence for a definitive classification.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria VCEP Guidelines
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines for PM2: 'Supporting: Variant must be completely absent from all population databases.' The evidence for this variant shows that it is not present in gnomAD (MAF = 0%). Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements because the variant is completely absent from population databases.
PP3
PP3 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines for PP3: 'Supporting For missense variants: REVEL score ≥ 0.88.' The evidence for this variant shows a REVEL score of 0.95, which exceeds the threshold. Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements because multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect.
PP5
PP5 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines for PP5: 'Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation.' The evidence for this variant shows that it has been reported in ClinVar by one clinical laboratory as Uncertain Significance and by the ClinGen Myeloid Malignancy Variant Curation Expert Panel as Likely Pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements because it is supported by a reputable expert panel.
PM1
PM1 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines for PM1: 'Supporting: Variant affecting one of the other amino acid residues 89-204 within the RHD.' The evidence for this variant shows that the amino acid change G168R occurs within the RHD (residues 89-204). Although the residue is not one of those specified for a moderate strength assignment (e.g. R107, K110, A134, R162, R166, S167, R169, G170, K194, T196, D198, R201, R204), it lies within a functionally critical domain. Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements at a supporting level.
