Functional Summary
The GATA2 S129Pfs*57 variant is a truncating mutation that likely results in loss of function. Truncating mutations in GATA2 are associated with loss of protein expression and have been identified in hematological malignancies, such as myelodysplastic syndromes, where they are linked to poor prognosis. In vivo studies using GATA2 knockout mouse models demonstrate that loss of GATA2 function contributes to increased leukemogenesis, indicating an inactivating effect of such mutations.

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 or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease". The evidence for this variant shows: c.380_383dup causes a frameshift (p.S129Pfs*57) leading to premature truncation in GATA2, and loss-of-function is a known mechanism for GATA2-related hematologic disease. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because it is a null variant in a LoF gene.
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 but different nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: this is a novel frameshift, not matching any previously reported amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not result in the same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant.
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 parental testing or de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because de novo status cannot be confirmed.
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: in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrate that GATA2 truncating mutations cause loss of function and increased leukemogenesis in model systems. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because functional studies support a damaging effect.
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 are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because statistical enrichment in cases cannot be assessed.
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 functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: domain or hotspot location information is unavailable. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of domain annotation.
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: variant not found in gnomAD or other population databases (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because it is absent from 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 data on occurrence in trans with another pathogenic variant. 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 variant, not an in-frame indel or stop-loss. 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". The evidence for this variant shows: this is a frameshift, 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 de novo data are available. 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 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 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, 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: SpliceAI score is low (0.05) and the variant is a clear frameshift causing truncation; computational data do not add further support. 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 is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: no specific phenotype or family history data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
