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: "Very Strong Use ATM PVS1 Decision Tree Modification Type: Gene-specific,Strength". The variant c.3403-9C>A is outside the canonical splice sites (+1/+2) and does not introduce a premature stop or frameshift. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong Use for protein changes as long as splicing is ruled-out for both alterations". This variant does not alter an amino acid and no protein change is known. 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 or family data are available for this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Moderate Use when a variant fails to rescue both an ATM specific feature (e.g. phosphorylation of ATM-specific targets) AND radiosensitivity". No functional studies have been performed on this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Strong Case-control studies; p-value ≤.05 AND (Odds ratio ≥2 OR lower 95% CI ≥1.5)". No case-control or statistical association data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 and well-established functional domain without benign variation". There is no evidence that this intronic region is a mutational hotspot or functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Frequency ≤.001% if n=1 in a single subpopulation". The variant is absent from population databases (gnomAD MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Use ATM PM3/BP2 table for recessive phase data". This variant has no evidence of occurring in trans with a pathogenic variant in a recessive context. 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 in a non-repeat region". This intronic variant does not alter protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Supporting Use for frameshift and truncating variants upstream of p.R3047". This variant is intronic and does not introduce a premature termination codon. 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". No de novo assumption 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". 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: "Missense variant in a gene with low rate of benign missense variation and where missense is a common mechanism". This is an intronic variant in ATM, a gene where loss-of-function is the primary mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Protein: REVEL >.7333; RNA: At least one well-established in silico predictor shows impact on splicing". SpliceAI predicts low likelihood of splicing impact (max score 0.16) and other in silico tools do not indicate a damaging effect. 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". 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: "Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic". ClinVar entries report uncertain significance and likely benign, not pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Filtering Allele Frequency >.5%". The variant is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Filtering Allele Frequency >.05%". The variant is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in a healthy adult individual for a dominant disorder". No healthy carrier data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Moderate Use when a variant rescues both an ATM specific feature AND radiosensitivity". No functional rescue data are available. 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". No family segregation data are available. 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 only truncating variants cause disease". This is an intronic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Use ATM PM3/BP2 table for observation in trans with a pathogenic variant". No such data exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without a known function". This variant is intronic and not an indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4
BP4 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Supporting Protein Analysis: REVEL score ≤.249; RNA: at least one well-established in silico predictor shows no impact on splicing". SpliceAI predicts a low likelihood of splicing impact (max score 0.16) and other computational tools do not indicate a deleterious effect. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
BP5
BP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". No such case data exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP6
