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, fs, start codon, splicing +1/2, startgain, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change (L62I), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 regardless of nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: there is no previously established pathogenic variant causing L62I. 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". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: no functional characterization 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: "Phenotype criteria can only be used if the variant is absent/rare from controls according to PM2; strength of evidence is determined by points according to case reports". The evidence for this variant shows: no case or phenotype data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: residue L62 is not within a critical functional domain or known hotspot. 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 large 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: "For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant in affected individuals". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on trans occurrence with another 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 as a result of in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a single amino acid change without length alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Moderate: novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change is pathogenic". The evidence for this variant shows: no pathogenic variants have been reported at residue L62. 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 information. 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 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 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 on the gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: in silico predictions are mixed and inconclusive. 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 data. 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 reported in ClinVar or other expert-reviewed databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Missense variant in a gene for which primarily truncating variants cause disease". The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA disease mechanism is gain-of-function missense, not truncating. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
