Functional Summary
The CUX1 P538Rfs*39 variant is a truncating mutation in the CUX1 gene, which functions as a tumor suppressor. Functional evidence indicates that truncating mutations in CUX1 lead to reduced protein expression and are associated with activation of the PI3K signaling pathway, contributing to tumor growth. This variant is likely to have a damaging effect due to its role in oncogenesis.

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single exon or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows: NM_001202543.1:c.1613_1614del causes a frameshift (P538Rfs*39) resulting in premature truncation of CUX1, a known tumor suppressor where loss of function is disease mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because it is a null variant in a gene with established LoF mechanism.
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 caused by a different nucleotide change." The evidence for this variant shows: there is no reported pathogenic variant causing the same amino acid change at position 538 in CUX1. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to absence of matching known pathogenic 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: there is no information on parental testing to confirm de novo occurrence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of de novo confirmation.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
According to standard ACMG 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." The evidence for this variant shows: functional studies indicate that truncating CUX1 P538Rfs*39 leads to reduced protein expression and activation of the PI3K signaling pathway, consistent with damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because functional data demonstrate a deleterious impact on 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 or cohort data demonstrating increased prevalence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to absence of statistical prevalence evidence.
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 specific hotspot or critical domain annotation is provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of hotspot/domain evidence.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes, or Exome Aggregation Consortium." The evidence for this variant shows: MAF = 0% with absence from gnomAD population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is not observed in population controls.
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 evidence of recessive inheritance or trans configuration. 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 leading to premature stop, covered under PVS1. 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 before." The evidence for this variant shows: it is 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, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity." The evidence for this variant shows: no data suggesting assumed de novo. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members." The evidence for this variant shows: no family segregation data are provided. 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 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 a frameshift variant, not missense. 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/gene product." The evidence for this variant shows: computational splicing tools predict minimal impact (SpliceAI score 0.04), but the variant causes a frameshift with clear LoF. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because computational evidence is insufficient to add to null variant evidence.
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 phenotype or family history 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: not found in ClinVar or other reputable databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Allele frequency is too high for disorder." The evidence for this variant shows: MAF is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: MAF is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in a healthy adult individual for a recessive 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.
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. 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: it is a frameshift 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 dominant disorder 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: it is a frameshift variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
