VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Use ATM PVS1 Decision Tree (gene-specific)". The evidence for this variant shows: c.3154-4G>T is at position –4 relative to the exon and is outside the canonical ±1-2 splice sites. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not meet the gene-specific PVS1 splice site requirements.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Use for protein changes as long as splicing is ruled-out for both alterations." The evidence for this variant shows: c.3154-4G>T does not alter the protein sequence and there is no known identical amino acid change. 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 de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Use functional studies when a variant fails to rescue ATM-specific features AND radiosensitivity (Moderate) or fails to rescue an ATM-specific feature only (Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: no functional characterization studies exist for c.3154-4G>T. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to absence of functional data.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Case-control data with significant association (OR ≥2 and p≤0.05)." The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or statistical association data. 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: c.3154-4G>T lies outside known functional domains/hot spots. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 (Supporting) is: "Frequency ≤0.001% if n=1 in a single subpopulation." The evidence for this variant shows: global MAF=0.00142% (4/282 472 alleles, >1 allele in multiple subpopulations). Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the allele frequency exceeds the VCEP threshold for PM2_supporting.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Evidence of trans configuration with a pathogenic variant in recessive disorders." The evidence for this variant shows: no compound heterozygosity or trans data 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: c.3154-4G>T does not alter coding sequence length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5_supporting is: "Genomic frameshift/truncating variants with PTC upstream of p.R3047 or splice variants causing PTC with NMD." The evidence for this variant shows: c.3154-4G>T is an intronic variant without PTC generation. 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/maternity." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data. 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 low rate of benign missense variation and where missense is a common mechanism." The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic and not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting if protein REVEL>0.7333 or RNA: at least one predictor shows splicing impact." The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI maximum score 0.12 (below typical significance), CADD -0.18, indicating no deleterious effect. 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 phenotype data provided. 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 evidence not available." The evidence for this variant shows: no reputable source reports pathogenicity. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Filtering allele frequency >0.5%." The evidence for this variant shows: global MAF=0.00142%, well below 0.5%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Filtering allele frequency >0.05%." The evidence for this variant shows: global MAF=0.00142%, below 0.05%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in healthy adult individuals for a recessive condition." The evidence for this variant shows: no data on healthy adult observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Functional studies showing rescue of ATM-specific features (Moderate/Supporting)." The evidence for this variant shows: no functional rescue data. 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 members of a family." The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data. 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 truncating variants cause disease." The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic and not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
