VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1/2 splice sites, initiation codon, single exon or multiexon deletion) in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change (R88L), not a predicted null. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'Strong No change. Modification Type: None.' The evidence for this variant shows: no different nucleotide change at codon 88 resulting in the same amino acid substitution (R88L) has been reported as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'Strong Award the PS2_Strong point if Criteria 1 AND Criteria 2 are fulfilled... Moderate Award the PS2_Moderate point if Criteria 1 is fulfilled, OR if parents are not available but Criteria 2 is fulfilled.' The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo or parental sample data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Strong/Moderate/Supporting based on functional assay quality metrics as specified by the SVI and BMVCEP.' The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'Very Strong/Strong/Moderate/Supporting based on phenotypic case points if variant is absent from controls (PM2).' The evidence for this variant shows: no case reports or phenotype data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Supporting Residues affecting critical functional domains provided in Table 4 for each gene.' The evidence for this variant shows: R88 is not in a VCEP-defined critical functional hotspot or domain for PIK3CA. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

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. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: 'For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant.' The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA-related disease is due to gain-of-function and not recessive inheritance. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: 'Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense substitution with no change in protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'Moderate No change.' The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense change at residue R88 has been reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

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 de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

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 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: 'Supporting Missense constraint computed in ExAC/gnomAD was utilized. Award PP2 if the z-score > 3.09.' The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA has a missense z-score > 3.09, indicating constraint. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PP3

PP3 (Supporting)

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: REVEL score 0.87, MetaSVM, MetaLR, PrimateAI, SIFT, PolyPhen-2, and MutationTaster predict deleterious impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PP4

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 patient phenotype or clinical context is provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: 'Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic.' The evidence for this variant shows: no ClinVar or other reputable database entry exists. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'Stand Alone Allele frequency (>0.0926%).' The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: 'Strong Allele frequency (>0.0185%).' The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: 'Strong Award BS2 if ≥3 homozygotes or ≥3 heterozygotes in well-phenotyped family members.' The evidence for this variant shows: no such occurrences. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: 'Strong/Supporting functional studies show no damaging effect.' The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been conducted. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: 'Lack of segregation in affected members of a family.' The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: 'Missense variant in a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA disease mechanism is gain-of-function missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: 'Observed in cis or trans with a pathogenic variant in the same gene.' The evidence for this variant shows: no data on cis/trans configuration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: 'In-frame indels in a repetitive region without a known function.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: 'Supporting for synonymous, intronic, or UTR variants when two of three splicing tools predict no impact.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
