Functional Summary
The BCOR F1566Sfs*18 variant is a truncating mutation in the BCOR gene, which functions as a transcriptional repressor. Functional evidence indicates that this mutation leads to reduced protein expression and is associated with oncogenic processes. Experimental studies in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient samples suggest that loss of BCOR protein due to this truncating mutation enhances cell proliferation and myeloid differentiation, supporting a damaging effect.

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
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: NM_017745.5:c.4697del causes a frameshift leading to a premature stop codon (F1566Sfs*18), resulting in truncated BCOR protein in a gene where loss of function is established as disease mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the variant is a null variant in a LOF gene.
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: The frameshift F1566Sfs*18 does not produce the same amino acid change as any known pathogenic variant. 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 data on de novo occurrence or parental testing is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
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: Functional studies in AML patient samples demonstrate that F1566Sfs*18 leads to loss of BCOR protein expression and increased cell proliferation, consistent with a damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because well-established functional studies support a damaging effect on the gene product.
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 prevalence data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: No data indicating location in a mutational hotspot or critical domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)". The evidence for this variant shows: The variant is not found in gnomAD or other population databases (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from controls.
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: No information on trans configuration with another pathogenic variant. 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 due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: This is a frameshift resulting in truncation, not an in-frame alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: This is a frameshift, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 data on assumed de novo status. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 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: This is a frameshift LOF variant, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: In silico predictions indicate minimal splicing impact (SpliceAI score 0.01) and do not predict additional deleterious effects. 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 highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: No phenotypic specificity 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 reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: No such reputable source reports are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified

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: Allele frequency is zero. 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 individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: No observations in healthy individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: Functional studies demonstrate damaging effect. 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 family members". The evidence for this variant shows: No segregation data available. 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 where only loss of function causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows: This is a frameshift LOF 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 dominant disorders or in cis with a 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 a repetitive region without known function". The evidence for this variant shows: This is a frameshift variant, not an in-frame indel in a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4
BP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
