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.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change (R1223Q), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not meet the null-variant requirement.
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 at residue R1223. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no known pathogenic variant with the same amino acid 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 parental testing data are not available.
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 evidence is 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 or prevalence data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because statistical association data are unavailable.
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: R1223 is not known to lie in a mutational hotspot or defined functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is not in a recognized hotspot or domain.
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: it is not present in gnomAD or other population databases (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from control populations.
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 information on trans occurrence with a pathogenic allele. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because trans data are unavailable.
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: it is a missense change, not an in-frame indel or stop-loss. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not change 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: no pathogenic missense changes reported at R1223. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because no other pathogenic variant at this residue exists.
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 information. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because assumed de novo status cannot be established.
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 segregation data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because family segregation has not been assessed.
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: insufficient data on CUX1 missense constraint and disease mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of gene-specific burden evidence.
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: computational tools are mixed and overall suggest benign effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because evidence does not support deleterious impact.
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 clinical phenotype provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of phenotype correlation data.
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 reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because no reputable pathogenic assertion exists.
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: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is not common.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: 'Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder.' The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is absent. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant frequency does not exceed disease expectations.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: 'Observed in a healthy adult individual for a dominant disorder 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 due to absence of healthy controls data.
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 performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because no functional data exist.
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 analysis. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because family studies are unavailable.
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: mechanism of CUX1 disease is unknown. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to insufficient gene-mechanism data.
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 data on phase with other variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because phase information is missing.
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: it is a missense change, not an in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4
BP4 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: 'Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product.' The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact; CADD, MetaSVM, MetaLR, PrimateAI and REVEL (0.37) suggest benign impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because the majority of computational evidence indicates no functional 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 alternate molecular basis reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP6
BP6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: no such benign reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP7
BP7 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: 'Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change, not synonymous. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
