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: "Very Strong Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, splice site (donor/acceptor +/−1,2), initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function (LOF) is a known mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a synonymous change (S353=) with no predicted impact on splicing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is not a null variant.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong Apply PS1 for predicted missense substitutions where a previously classified pathogenic variant is considered to act via protein change (no confirmed or predicted effect on mRNA splicing)." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a synonymous change with no amino acid alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no protein change.
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 due to missing parental testing data.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product." The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because functional data are missing.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls (OR ≥4, p ≤0.05)." The evidence for this variant shows: no case‐control or affected individual data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to missing case-control data.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or functional domain without benign variation." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a synonymous change at amino acid 353, outside of defined functional domains. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because it is not in a critical domain.
PM2
PM2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified

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 has been established as pathogenic." The evidence for this variant shows: it is synonymous, 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 assumption data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Supporting Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members (LR ≥2.08:1)." The evidence for this variant shows: no family segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to missing segregation data.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense variant in a gene where missense is a common mechanism of disease and where there is a low rate of benign missense variation." The evidence for this variant shows: it is synonymous and not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Apply PP3 for variants with BayesDel no-AF score ≥0.30 inside functional domains or SpliceAI ≥0.2." The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI score = 0 and BayesDel score not above threshold. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Supporting Phenotype specificity based on multifactorial likelihood data (LR ≥2.08:1)." The evidence for this variant shows: no clinical phenotype or multifactorial data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to missing phenotype data.
PP5
