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: "Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree for null variants in a gene where LOF is known mechanism." The evidence for this variant shows it is a missense change (A121S) and 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: "Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change." The evidence for this variant shows no prior pathogenic variant with A121S reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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." No de novo data are available for this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Moderate) Strength Modified
According to PTEN Pre-processing, the finding for PS3 is: "PS3_Moderate evidence added based on high-confidence functional score (-1.6523) < threshold (-1.11)." The evidence for this variant shows a phosphatase activity score of -1.6523, which is below the threshold of -1.11. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Probands with specificity score ≥4-15.5 for strong or ≥2-3.5 for moderate." No case-level or cohort-level data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Moderate strength if variant is located in a mutational hotspot or critical functional domain (residues 90-94, 123-130, 166-168)." The evidence shows A121S is outside these critical motifs. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting strength if absent in population databases present at <0.00001 allele frequency in gnomAD." The evidence for this variant shows it is absent from gnomAD (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: "Moderate strength if observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a recessive disorder." No trans-phase data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Moderate strength for in-frame indels or stop-loss variants." The variant is a missense change and does not alter protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Moderate)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Moderate strength for novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen." The evidence shows another pathogenic missense at residue 121. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Moderate strength for assumed de novo without confirmation of paternity/maternity." No presumed de novo information is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Supporting strength for co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members (3-4 meioses)." No 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: "Supporting strength for missense variant in a gene with low rate of benign missense variation where missense is a common mechanism." Insufficient evidence was provided to confirm PTEN’s missense constraint. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting strength for missense variants with REVEL score >0.7." The evidence shows a REVEL score of 0.79. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Supporting strength for highly specific phenotype with single genetic etiology." No phenotype data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Supporting strength for reputable source reporting variant as pathogenic." No such reports are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Stand Alone strength if gnomAD allele frequency >0.056%." The allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong strength if gnomAD allele frequency from 0.0043% to 0.056%." The allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Strong strength if observed homozygous in a healthy individual." No homozygous observations are reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Strong strength for functional studies showing no damaging effect." Functional data show a damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Strong strength for lack of segregation in ≥2 families." No segregation data exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Supporting strength for missense in gene where only truncating variants cause disease." PTEN disease mechanism includes missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Supporting strength if observed in trans with a pathogenic PTEN variant." No such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "Supporting strength for in-frame indels in repetitive region." Variant is missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4
BP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Supporting strength for REVEL score <0.5." The REVEL score is 0.79. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP5
BP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Supporting strength for variant found with alternate molecular basis for disease." No such case evidence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP6
BP6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Supporting strength for reputable source reporting variant as benign." No such reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP7
BP7 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Supporting strength for synonymous or intronic variants with no splicing impact." Variant is missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
