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 LOF is a known mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows it is a missense change (L94P), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP 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 L94P or other L94* change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2_Strong is: "De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history." No de novo or parental testing data are available for this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, functional evidence (PS3) requires validated assays demonstrating a damaging effect. No functional studies have been performed for L94P. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Case-control or phenotypic observations points for absent/rare variants meeting PM2." No case or segregation data are reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1_Supporting is: "Residues affecting critical functional domains provided in Table 4 for each gene." Position 94 is not in a recognized PIK3CA hotspot or critical functional domain defined by the VCEP. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2_Supporting is: "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 population databases (MAF = 0%). 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." No evidence of recessive inheritance or trans observations is available. 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." The variant is a missense substitution and does not change 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 is pathogenic." No other pathogenic variant at residue L94 has been reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Assumed de novo, without confirmation of paternity and maternity." No parental or de novo data are available. 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." No segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP2_Supporting is: "Missense constraint computed in ExAC/gnomAD; z-score > 3.09." No z-score data are provided for PIK3CA at this position. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Multiple computational evidence supporting a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product." In silico predictions are mixed (some tools deleterious, others benign; SpliceAI shows no splicing impact). 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." No detailed phenotypic data are 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 without available evidence." The variant is not in ClinVar or other reputable databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Allele frequency (> 0.0926%)." The variant is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Allele frequency (> 0.0185%)." The variant is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in ≥ 3 healthy individuals or homozygotes in population databases." The variant is not observed in any healthy cohorts. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect." No such functional studies exist. 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." No segregation data are provided. 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 only truncating variants cause disease." PIK3CA disease mechanism is gain-of-function, not LOF. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in cis with a pathogenic variant in the same gene." No such observations are reported. 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 known function." The variant is a missense substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Not applicable for any variant type except for synonymous, intronic, or UTR variants." This is a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP5

BP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternative molecular basis for disease." No such cases are reported. 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 without evidence." No reputable source classification exists. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP7

BP7 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Synonymous or intronic variant with low conservation." This is a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
