PIK3CA c.1171A>G, p.Ile391Val

NM_006218.4:c.1171A>G
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
This missense variant (I391V) in PIK3CA is absent from population databases (PM2) and occurs in a gene with high missense constraint (PP2). No other pathogenic or benign evidence is available. The net evidence is insufficient to classify beyond uncertain significance, thus the variant remains a VUS.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, start codon, splicing +1/2, startgain, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows: NM_006218.4:c.1171A>G is a missense variant (I391V), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: I391V has not been reported as a pathogenic change at this residue. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "Award the PS2 point if the variant is de novo with confirmed maternity and paternity and meets tissue fraction criteria for somatic mutations." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo or parental testing data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Functional assays meeting the BMVCEP quality metrics and validation controls demonstrating a damaging effect on the gene or gene product." The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Case-control or case series data assigning points for phenotypic match in affected individuals absent from controls (PM2 required)." The evidence for this variant shows: no reported cases in the literature or series. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Residues affecting critical functional domains provided in Table 4 for each gene (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: I391 is not located within a known PIK3CA critical hotspot domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Absent/rare from controls in an ethnically matched cohort population sample (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from gnomAD and other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
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 (Moderate)." The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA-associated disease is dominantly acting and no 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 (Moderate)." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change with no length alteration. 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 missense change is pathogenic (Moderate)." The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic missense changes at residue I391 have been reported. 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, without confirmation of paternity and maternity (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo 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 (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense constraint computed in ExAC/gnomAD >3.09 for PIK3CA (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: PIK3CA has a missense constraint z-score >3.09 in gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Multiple computational tools predict a deleterious effect (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: in silico tools (CADD, PolyPhen, REVEL, SpliceAI) predict a benign impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Patient phenotype is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: no specific clinical phenotype information is provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
