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 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 or multi-exon deletion in a LoF gene)". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_022552.4:c.428G>A is a missense variant (R143Q), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG 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 previously established pathogenic variant results in the same R143Q amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

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 information on de novo status or parental testing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

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: no functional studies have been performed for R143Q. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

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 or cohort data comparing affected vs. control frequency. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: R143 is not known as a mutational hotspot or in a defined critical domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

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: gnomAD MAF = 0.000405%, present in 1/246,808 alleles and no homozygotes, supporting rarity. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength.

PM3

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: DNMT3A-related disease is dominant and no trans-phase data exists. 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 or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: R143Q is a missense change without effect on protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen". The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense variants at residue R143 are documented. 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 or parental data. 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. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

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: although DNMT3A missense variants can be pathogenic, gene-specific constraint metrics are not provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

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/gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: computational tools predict benign effect (REVEL=0.18) and SpliceAI=0.02. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Patient's phenotype or family history highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype data 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, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: no reputable source reports it as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

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: MAF is <0.001, far below thresholds. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

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: frequency is extremely low (0.000405%). Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in healthy adult individuals for a dominant disorder with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: no healthy adult observation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

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: no functional studies available. 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 family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation studies. 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 where only loss-of-function causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows: DNMT3A missense variants can be pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on phase with other variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function". The evidence for this variant shows: not an in-frame indel and not in a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: CADD, PolyPhen, REVEL (0.18) predict benign and SpliceAI=0.02. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

BP5

BP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no such case data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP6

BP6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar reports likely benign with accessible evidence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP7

BP7 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
