Functional Summary
The PHF6 P11Lfs*22 variant is a truncating mutation in the PHF6 gene, which functions as a tumor suppressor. Functional evidence indicates that truncating mutations in PHF6 can lead to the production of C-terminally truncated proteins, which are associated with hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. This variant is likely oncogenic due to its truncating nature and the role of PHF6 in these diseases.

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
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 (e.g., nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single exon deletion in a LoF gene)'. The evidence for this variant shows: c.27delA causes a frameshift (P11Lfs*22) leading to a premature stop codon and protein truncation. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because loss of function through truncation is a known disease mechanism for PHF6.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift resulting in a truncated protein, not a missense change at an amino acid shared with a known pathogenic variant. 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 information on de novo occurrence or parental confirmation is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
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: functional studies demonstrate that truncating mutations in PHF6, including P11Lfs*22, lead to loss of tumor suppressor activity and are associated with hematologic malignancies. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because in vitro/in vivo data support a damaging effect.
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 prevalence 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 or well-established functional domain without benign variation'. The evidence for this variant shows: domain or hotspot annotation data are not available. 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)'. The evidence for this variant shows: c.27delA is not observed in gnomAD or other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from population 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 allelic phase or trans data are available. 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 frameshift variant causing truncation rather than an in-frame change. 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: it is a frameshift variant, not a missense change. 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 or parental testing information is available. 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 family 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 a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift variant, not a missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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/gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: in silico predictions do not indicate a deleterious effect beyond the truncation. 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 highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology'. The evidence for this variant shows: no detailed clinical phenotype or family history data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Supporting)
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: ClinVar lists this variant as Pathogenic from a clinical laboratory. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because a reputable database reports it as pathogenic.
