VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, start codon, splicing +1/2, startgain, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is an intronic change at +29 not predicted to disrupt coding sequence or canonical splice sites. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not create a null allele.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change OR different variant at same nucleotide position as a pathogenic splicing variant, where in silico models predict impact equal to or greater than the known pathogenic variant.' The evidence for this variant shows: no amino acid change and no known pathogenic variant at this intronic position. Therefore, PS1 is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'Strong: De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) observation in a patient with the disease and no family history.' The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data are available. Therefore, PS2 is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product. RNA, mini-gene, or other assay shows impact on splicing.' The evidence for this variant shows: no functional or splicing assays have been performed. Therefore, PS3 is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'Strong: Probands with specificity score 4-15.5 OR the prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls.' The evidence for this variant shows: no case-level or prevalence data in affected individuals. Therefore, PS4 is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain. Defined to include residues in catalytic motifs: 90-94, 123-130, 166-168 (NP_000305.3).' The evidence for this variant shows: it lies at intronic position +29, outside defined catalytic motifs. Therefore, PM1 is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: 'Supporting: Absent in population databases or present at <0.00001 (0.001%) allele frequency in gnomAD.' The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0.00178 (0.178%), which exceeds the threshold. Therefore, PM2 is not applied.
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 in a patient with the disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: no data regarding trans configuration with a pathogenic PTEN variant. Therefore, PM3 is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: 'Moderate: Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic with no effect on protein length. Therefore, PM4 is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'Moderate: Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before.' The evidence for this variant shows: it does not change an amino acid. Therefore, PM5 is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: 'Moderate: Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity.' The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo or familial data. Therefore, PM6 is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: 'Supporting: Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members, with 3 or 4 meioses observed.' The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data. Therefore, PP1 is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: 'Supporting: Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic. Therefore, PP2 is not applied.
