VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PVS1 uses the PTEN PVS1 decision tree for predicted loss-of-function variants"; the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_000314.8:c.277C>A is a missense change (H93N), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because the variant does not meet the loss-of-function requirement.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PS1: Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: no other pathogenic variant yields H93N. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines: "PS2: De novo observation in a patient with the disease and no family history". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to PTEN pre-processing: "Result: Score (-0.5071) did not meet threshold (-1.11) for PS3_Moderate". The evidence for this variant shows: phosphatase activity score does not meet the VCEP-defined cutoff. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Moderate strength.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PS4: Probands with specificity score ≥16 for Very Strong, 4–15.5 for Strong, 2–3.5 for Moderate, 1–1.5 for Supporting". The evidence for this variant shows: no case‐level specificity data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Moderate)
According to VCEP guidelines: "PM1: Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain. Defined to include residues in catalytic motifs: 90-94". The evidence for this variant shows: H93 lies within the catalytic motif 90-94 of PTEN. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PM2: Absent in population databases at <0.00001 allele frequency". The evidence for this variant shows: c.277C>A is not present in gnomAD or other large controls. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PM3: For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows: no trans data and PTEN disease is autosomal dominant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PM4: Protein length changes due to in-frame indels or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: this is a missense change, not an indel or stop-loss. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Moderate)
According to VCEP guidelines: "PM5: Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before". The evidence for this variant shows: other missense substitutions at codon 93 have been reported as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PM6: Assumed de novo without confirmation". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo information. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "PP1: 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: "PP2: 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: insufficient data on benign missense rate in PTEN. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines: "PP3: REVEL score >0.7 for missense variants". The evidence for this variant shows: REVEL score is 0.89. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines: "PP4: Phenotype specific for disease with single genetic etiology". The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype data provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines: "PP5: Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic without available evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar lists NM_000314.8:c.277C>A as Likely Pathogenic by one laboratory. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "BA1: gnomAD allele frequency >0.00056". The evidence for this variant shows: absent in gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "BS1: gnomAD allele frequency 0.000043–0.00056". The evidence for this variant shows: absent in gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "BS2: Observed homozygous in healthy individual". The evidence for this variant shows: no homozygotes observed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "BS3: Well‐established functional studies show no damaging effect". The evidence for this variant shows: no such functional evidence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "BS4: Lack of segregation in affected members of two or more families". 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: "BP1: Missense in a gene where only truncating variants cause disease". The evidence for this variant shows: PTEN disease mechanism includes missense and truncating variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines: "BP2: Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows: no such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
