VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease (e.g., nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single exon deletion in a LoF gene)". The evidence for this variant shows: position c.2254-13G>T is outside the canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites and is not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not meet the definition of a null variant causing LoF.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: no amino acid change is predicted as it is intronic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no protein change.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on de novo status. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because de novo status cannot be evaluated without family testing.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because functional data are lacking.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls". The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because prevalence in affected individuals cannot be assessed.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: location in MSH3 is not known to be a mutational hot spot or functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no hotspot or domain evidence.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) (Table 6) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0.0011% in gnomAD with no homozygotes. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent or at extremely low frequency in population databases.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders)". The evidence for this variant shows: no phasing or trans data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because trans detection cannot be assessed.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: no change in protein length is predicted. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not alter protein length.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen". The evidence for this variant shows: not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is intronic.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo or parental data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because assumed de novo status cannot be assessed.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no family segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because segregation data are not available.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease". The evidence for this variant shows: not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because variant type is not missense.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product (e.g., conservation, splicing impact)". The evidence for this variant shows: computational predictors (CADD=0.72, SpliceAI=0.07) indicate no deleterious effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Patient's phenotype or family history highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype information provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because phenotype specificity cannot be evaluated.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: no reputable pathogenic report. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no source reporting pathogenic classification.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Allele frequency is too high for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF=0.0011%, well below thresholds. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because allele frequency is not too high.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF=0.0011%, below expected maximum. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because allele frequency is not greater than expected.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in healthy individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on healthy individual observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because healthy subject data are unavailable.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because functional data are lacking.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Lack of segregation in affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because segregation information is not available.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Missense variant in a gene where only LoF causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows: not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because variant type is intronic.

The evidence for this variant shows: computational predictors (CADD=0.72, SpliceAI=0.07) indicate no impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational evidence supports no impact.
BP5
BP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no case reports with alternate etiology. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because no alternative molecular basis data are available.
BP6
BP6 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar record from one clinical laboratory reports Likely benign. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because a reputable source has classified it as benign without primary evidence.
