VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: NM_005933.3:c.590C>A (p.S197Y) is a missense change, not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because the variant does not introduce a premature stop codon or disrupt canonical splice sites.
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: there is no previously established pathogenic variant at amino acid position S197. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because no identical amino acid change is documented as pathogenic.
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 testing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to lack of de novo evidence.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: no functional assays have been performed for KMT2A p.S197Y. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because functional impact is uncharacterized.
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 familial aggregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to absence of frequency data in affected cases.
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: S197 is not reported as part of a recognized hotspot or domain critical region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because there is no evidence of a mutational hotspot at this residue.
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: NM_005933.3:c.590C>A is absent from gnomAD, ExAC, 1000 Genomes, and other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is not observed in 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: KMT2A-related disease is autosomal dominant and no second allele is reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because the variant is not in a recessive context with a known pathogenic allele.
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: p.S197Y is a single amino acid substitution without change in protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
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: no other pathogenic missense variants have been reported at residue S197. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
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 parental testing data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
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 at Not Applied strength.
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: KMT2A disease mechanism is haploinsufficiency and missense variants are not the predominant mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
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 are mixed (MetaSVM/MetaLR pathogenic vs. CADD/PrimateAI benign, REVEL 0.34) and SpliceAI score 0.04. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to inconsistent computational support.
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 or family history provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: not reported in ClinVar or other reputable sources. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Allele frequency is too high for the disorder (based on population data)". The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%, not above thresholds. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is not above expected disease prevalence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Observed in healthy individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: no reports in healthy adult controls. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Lack of segregation in affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation analysis. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Missense variant in a gene where only LoF causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows: KMT2A has disease caused predominantly by LoF, but missense pathogenic variants are not definitively excluded. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for dominant disorders or in cis with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows: no phase data and no second variant reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense substitution, not an indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP4
BP4 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)". The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI score 0.04 indicates no splicing impact, and CADD/PrimateAI predict benign effect despite some pathogenic calls. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because the overall computational data do not support a damaging effect.
BP5
BP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no alternate molecular diagnosis reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP6
BP6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: not reported as benign in any source. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP7
BP7 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense, not synonymous. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
