Functional Impact & Domains
Functional Domain
The DNMT3A V622Ffs*29 variant is a truncating mutation in the DNMT3A gene, which functions as a tumor suppressor and DNA methyltransferase. Functional evidence indicates that truncating mutations in DNMT3A are likely to result in nonsense-mediated decay and haploinsufficiency. This leads to disturbed methylation patterns and global hypomethylation, affecting transcription of lineage-specific programs in myeloid development. Consequently, the V622Ffs*29 variant is likely to have a damaging effect, contributing to oncogenesis in hematologic malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia.

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
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: c.1864del in DNMT3A is a frameshift predicted to introduce a premature stop codon and trigger nonsense-mediated decay in a gene where LoF causes disease. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because it is a null variant in a gene with a known LoF mechanism.
PS1 (Not Applied)
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: V622Ffs*29 is a frameshift variant and does not involve a missense change at an amino acid residue corresponding to a known pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2 (Not Applied)
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.
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: in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that truncating DNMT3A mutations result in nonsense-mediated decay, haploinsufficiency, and disrupted methylation patterns contributing to oncogenesis. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because functional data support a damaging effect.
PS4 (Not Applied)
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 frequency data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Located in a mutational hotspot or well-established functional domain without benign variation'. The evidence for this variant shows: no data indicating a mutational hotspot or specific functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: c.1864del is not observed in gnomAD or other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from population controls.
PM3 (Not Applied)
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 data on trans configuration in recessive inheritance. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4 (Not Applied)
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 truncating variant, not an in-frame change or stop-loss. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5 (Not Applied)
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: c.1864del is a frameshift, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6 (Not Applied)
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 information on de novo status. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1 (Not Applied)
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. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2 (Not Applied)
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 a missense substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3 (Not Applied)
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 scores (CADD=8.02, SpliceAI=0.08) do not strongly support a deleterious effect beyond the known frameshift LoF mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4 (Not Applied)
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 specific phenotype or family history data provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5 (Not Applied)
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 external pathogenic assertion is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'Allele frequency is too high for the disorder'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1 (Not Applied)
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: it is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2 (Not Applied)
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 data on occurrence in healthy individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3 (Not Applied)
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 indicate a damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: 'Lack of segregation in affected family members'. The evidence for this variant shows: no family segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1 (Not Applied)
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: it is a LoF frameshift, not a missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2 (Not Applied)
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 cis/trans data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: 'In-frame insertions/deletions in a repetitive region without known function'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift truncating deletion, not an in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
