Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance

Functional Summary

The PIK3CA I910V variant has been functionally characterized with conflicting evidence. In MCF10A cells, the variant leads to increased proliferation in the absence of growth factors, suggesting a potential gain-of-function effect. However, this effect was not observed in Ba/F3 cells, and the variant has not been biochemically characterized, leaving its precise impact on PIK3CA protein function unclear.

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 (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows: c.2728A>G is a missense change (I910V), 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: there is no known pathogenic variant resulting in I910V. 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 de novo segregation or family data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Follow recommendations set forth by the SVI with specifications for quality metrics and minimum validation controls required. Functional assays must meet acceptability criteria to provide strong evidence of pathogenicity." The evidence for this variant shows: conflicting functional results (increased proliferation in MCF10A cells but no effect in Ba/F3 cells) and no biochemical characterization. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls." The evidence for this variant shows: no case–control or phenotype data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Supporting evidence if residue affects critical functional domains provided in Table 4 for each gene." The evidence for this variant shows: I910 is not located in a defined hotspot or critical functional domain for PIK3CA. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

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: MAF=0% in gnomAD and other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant." The evidence for this variant shows: no data on trans configuration with another pathogenic variant. 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 in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants." The evidence for this variant shows: I910V is a missense substitution without change in 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 pathogenic missense change has been seen." The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense changes reported at codon 910. 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 family data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

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 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 (applicable to MTOR, PIK3CA and AKT3)." The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA has a missense z-score > 3.09 in gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, BP4/PP3 splicing rules apply only to synonymous or intronic variants; computational evidence for missense is not specified. The evidence for this variant shows: in silico tools predict a benign effect, but VCEP does not support PP3 for missense. 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 is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology." The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype/family history 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." The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar reports Uncertain Significance. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Stand Alone – Allele frequency > 0.0926%." The evidence for this variant shows: MAF=0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong – Allele frequency > 0.0185%." The evidence for this variant shows: MAF=0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Strong – ≥3 homozygotes in gnomAD or ≥3 heterozygotes in well-phenotyped family members." The evidence for this variant shows: no homozygotes or phenotyped heterozygotes observed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing." The evidence for this variant shows: functional data are conflicting and do not meet validation criteria. 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 members of a family." The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data available. 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 for which primarily truncating variants cause disease." The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA disease mechanism is gain-of-function, not loss-of-function, but BP1 is not applicable. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in cis/trans with a pathogenic variant in the same gene." The evidence for this variant shows: no data on cis/trans observations. 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 repetitive regions without a known function." The evidence for this variant shows: this is a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Not Applied)
