RUNX1 c.1229C>A, p.Ser410Ter

NM_001754.4:c.1229C>A
Pathogenic
This nonsense variant (p.S410*) in RUNX1 introduces a premature stop codon resulting in loss of function in a gene with a known LOF disease mechanism (PVS1_VS), is absent from population databases (PM2_supporting), and meets RUNX1‐specific downstream truncation criteria (PM5_supporting), consistent with a Likely Pathogenic classification.

Functional Summary
The RUNX1 S410* variant is a truncating mutation in a tumor suppressor gene, likely resulting in loss of function. Functional evidence indicates that such truncating mutations in RUNX1 inhibit its role in hematopoietic differentiation, predisposing to hematologic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphomas, and myelodysplastic syndromes.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Per modified RUNX1 PVS1 decision tree for SNVs and CNVs and table of splicing effects." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a nonsense variant (p.S410*) leading to a truncated RUNX1 protein in a gene where loss‐of‐function is a known mechanism of disease and the variant is not located in the last exon. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because it meets VCEP criteria for a null variant outside the last exon in RUNX1.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change." The evidence for this variant shows: no previously established pathogenic variant with the same amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Not applicable if variant meets PVS1. If variant meets PVS1_strong, either apply PS3_moderate or upgrade to PVS1." The evidence for this variant shows: functional studies support damaging effect but PVS1 Very Strong is met. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because PS3 is not applied when PVS1 is met.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls." The evidence for this variant shows: no case‐control data or proband counts are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Variant affecting one of the following amino acid residues within the RHD: [RHD residues list]." The evidence for this variant shows: p.S410* is outside the RHD (residues 89–204). Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Variant must be completely absent from all population databases." The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from gnomAD and other control databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant." The evidence for this variant shows: RUNX1‐associated disorders are autosomal dominant and no trans data are present. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes as a result of in‐frame deletions/insertions." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a nonsense variant causing truncation, not an in‐frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5_supporting is: "PM5_supporting is also applied to nonsense/frameshift variants that are downstream of c.98 in transcript NM_001754.4." The evidence for this variant shows: c.1229C>A introduces a stop codon at p.S410, which is downstream of c.98. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Assumed de novo, without confirmation of paternity and maternity." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Co‐segregation with disease in multiple affected family members (3–4 meioses for Supporting strength)." The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense variant in a gene with low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a nonsense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "For missense variants: REVEL ≥0.88 or SpliceAI ≥0.38. For synonymous/intronic: SpliceAI ≥0.38." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a nonsense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Patient’s phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology." The evidence for this variant shows: no detailed phenotypic data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic." The evidence for this variant shows: not found in ClinVar or other reputable sources. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Minor allele frequency ≥0.15% in any general population dataset." The evidence for this variant shows: absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Minor allele frequency between 0.015% and 0.15% in any general population dataset." The evidence for this variant shows: absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in healthy adult individuals for a dominant disorder." The evidence for this variant shows: no such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Strong evidence from functional assays demonstrating normal function." The evidence for this variant shows: functional studies demonstrate loss of function. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Lack of segregation in affected members of a family." The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Missense variant in a gene for which only truncating variants cause disease." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a truncating variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene or in cis with another pathogenic variant." The evidence for this variant shows: no such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "In-frame deletions/insertions in repetitive regions without known function." The evidence for this variant shows: nonsense variant, not in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
