The evidence for this variant shows: it is a synonymous change (p.P82=) not predicted to result in loss of function. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'PS1 can be applied to variants asserted as Pathogenic following the TP53 VCEP’s specifications.' The evidence for this variant shows: it does not alter the amino acid sequence and has no matching pathogenic amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'PS2 Very Strong Strength: ≥ 8 points; Strong: 4–7 points; Moderate: 2–3 points; Supporting: 1 point in de novo framework.' The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Strong Strength: Non-functional on Kato et al. data AND loss of function on another assay.' The evidence for this variant shows: no functional assay data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'Very Strong Strength: ≥ 8 points; Strong: 4–7.5 points; Moderate: 2–3.5 points; Supporting: 1–1.5 points based on case counts.' The evidence for this variant shows: no case–control or proband data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Moderate Strength: Missense variants within codons 175, 245, 248, 249, 273, 282 or germline variants seen as cancer hotspots.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a synonymous change not at a hotspot codon. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: 'PM2 Supporting Strength: allele frequency < 0.00003 in gnomAD or another large database.' The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0.00142% (0.0000142) in gnomAD, which is below the 0.00003 threshold. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because the variant is extremely rare.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
