VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, start codon, splicing +1/2) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change (C407F), 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 Strength**: Strong No change.' The evidence for this variant shows: no previously established pathogenic variant results in the same amino acid change at position 407. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'Strong: Award PS2_Strong if Criteria 1 AND Criteria 2 are fulfilled; Moderate: Award PS2_Moderate if Criteria 1 is fulfilled or if parents are not available but Criteria 2 is fulfilled.' The evidence for this variant shows: no data on de novo occurrence or mosaicism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Strong, Moderate, or Supporting depending on validated functional assay quality metrics.' The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'Points assigned based on phenotypic case data to determine strength; applicable only if variant meets PM2.' The evidence for this variant shows: no reported cases in the literature or patient cohorts. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Supporting for residues affecting critical functional domains provided in Table 4 for each gene.' The evidence for this variant shows: position 407 is not within a VCEP-defined hotspot or critical domain for PIK3CA. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: 'Supporting Absent/rare from controls in an ethnically-matched cohort population sample (≥1).' The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from gnomAD and other population databases (MAF = 0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: 'Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for a recessive disorder.' The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA disorders are not recessive and no trans observations. 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 indels or stop-loss variants.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense substitution without length change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'Moderate Strength: No change.' The evidence for this variant shows: no other missense change at codon 407 has been established as pathogenic. 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.' The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data. 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 segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: 'Supporting Strength: Missense constraint computed in ExAC/gnomAD (z-score >3.09) applicable to PIK3CA.' The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA is missense-constrained (z-score >3.09) and this is a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
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.' The evidence for this variant shows: in silico tools yield mixed predictions with no consensus. 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 gene.' The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype data 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.' The evidence for this variant shows: not found in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
