VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change (D293G), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not result in a null allele.
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: no previously established pathogenic variant at amino acid position 293. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no known pathogenic variant with the same amino acid change.
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 data on de novo occurrence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because de novo status is not confirmed.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because functional impact has not been experimentally demonstrated.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 demonstrating enrichment in affected individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of prevalence data.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation.' The evidence for this variant shows: no information indicating D293 lies in a mutational hot spot or 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) in population databases.' The evidence for this variant shows: not found in gnomAD or other population databases (MAF = 0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from controls.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: no data on trans observation with a pathogenic allele. 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 or stop-loss variants.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change without alteration of protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen.' The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense variants reported at residue D293. 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 evidence. 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. 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 a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: insufficient data on missense constraint in EZH2. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 of 0.91 (>0.75 threshold), and multiple in silico tools predict a damaging impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational predictions strongly support pathogenicity.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 or family history information. 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, but without accessible evidence.' The evidence for this variant shows: no reports in ClinVar or other reputable sources. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'Allele frequency is too high for the disorder.' The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is zero, not high. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: allele frequency is zero, not greater than expected. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: 'Observed in a healthy adult individual for a dominant disorder with full penetrance expected at an early age.' The evidence for this variant shows: no healthy individual data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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) Strength Modified
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) Strength Modified
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: EZH2 disease mechanism includes missense variants; thus BP1 does not apply. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 cis/trans data. 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 known function.' The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change, not an in‐frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4
BP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: computational tools predict damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is 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: no benign reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP7
BP7 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 missense, not synonymous. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
