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: "Very Strong Nonsense/frameshift variant introducing Premature Termination Codon (PTC) ≤ codon 891 in MSH2." The evidence for this variant shows: c.2440C>T is a missense change (L814F), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong A predicted missense substitution that encodes the same amino acid change with a different underlying nucleotide change previously established by this VCEP as Pathogenic (not a predicted or confirmed splice defect)." The evidence for this variant shows: no other variant encoding L814F has been established as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "Very Strong ≥ 4 de novo points." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo occurrence 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 Calibrated functional assays with functional odds for Pathogenicity > 18.7." The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed for MSH2 L814F. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls." The evidence for this variant shows: no case–control or segregation data demonstrating enrichment in affected individuals. 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: L814 is not known to reside in a defined mutational hotspot or critical domain specific to MSH2. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Absent/extremely rare (<1 in 50,000 alleles) in gnomAD v4 dataset." The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from gnomAD (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because it meets the VCEP requirement of absence in population databases.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Very Strong ≥4 points for detection in trans with a pathogenic variant in recessive disease; points scaled for fewer observations." The evidence for this variant shows: no trans observations in a recessive context, and MSH2-associated Lynch syndrome is autosomal dominant. 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 because of in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss." The evidence for this variant shows: L814F is a missense change with no effect on protein length. Therefore, this criterion 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 was classified by this VCEP as Pathogenic on the protein level." The evidence for this variant shows: no other missense variant at codon 814 has been classified as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Moderate 1 de novo point." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data without confirmation of parental identities. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Strong/Moderate/Supporting co-segregation with disease depending on Bayes Likelihood Ratio." 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: insufficient data on benign vs pathogenic missense rate in MSH2 to apply. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Moderate Missense variant with HCI prior probability for pathogenicity >0.81 as per https://hci-priors.hci.utah.edu/PRIORS." The evidence for this variant shows: computational prediction REVEL=0.84 but no HCI prior probability provided and SpliceAI scores indicate minimal splicing impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Strong/Moderate/Supporting tumor phenotype (MSI-H or loss of MMR protein) in CRC/Endometrial cancers consistent with variant location." The evidence for this variant shows: no tumor MSI or IHC data. 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 without available evidence." The evidence for this variant shows: not reported in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified

BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong GnomAD v4 Grpmax filtering allele frequency ≥ 0.0001 and < 0.001." The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency = 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Strong co-occurrence in trans with a known pathogenic sequence variant in the same gene." The evidence for this variant shows: no co-occurrence data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Strong calibrated functional assays with functional odds ≤ 0.05 or synonymous/intronic with no mRNA aberration." The evidence for this variant shows: no functional assay data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Strong lack of co-segregation with disease in pedigree(s)." 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 for which primarily truncating variants cause disease." The evidence for this variant shows: MSH2 has both truncating and pathogenic missense variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
