VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Nonsense/frameshift variant introducing Premature Termination Codon (PTC) ≤ codon 1341 in MSH6..." The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous change c.1197T>C (P399=) which does not introduce a stop codon or frameshift. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong A predicted missense substitution that encodes the same amino acid change with a different underlying nucleotide change previously established by this VCEP as Pathogenic..." The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous change without an amino acid substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "Very Strong ≥4 de novo points; Strong 2–3 de novo points; Moderate 1 de novo point; Supporting 0.5 de novo points." The evidence for this variant shows no documented de novo observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Strong Calibrated functional assays with functional odds for Pathogenicity >18.7; Moderate…; Supporting…" The evidence for this variant shows no functional assay data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls." The evidence for this variant shows no case-control or segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain without benign variation." The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous change outside of any known hotspot or functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Absent/extremely rare (<1 in 50,000 alleles) in gnomAD v4 dataset." The evidence for this variant shows it is absent from population databases (gnomAD MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Very Strong ≥4 points; Strong ≥2 and <4 points; Moderate ≥1 and <2 points; Supporting =0.5 points for recessive conditions." The evidence for this variant shows no observations in trans with a pathogenic MSH6 variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in-frame indels or stop-loss variants." The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous substitution without any change in protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Moderate Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change was classified by this VCEP as Pathogenic..." The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous change, not a missense substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Supporting 0.5 de novo points." The evidence for this variant shows no de novo data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Strong co-segregation with disease in pedigree(s) with Bayes LR >18.7; Moderate Bayes LR >4.3–18.7; Supporting Bayes LR >2.08–4.3." The evidence for this variant shows no co-segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Missense variant in a gene that has low rates of benign missense variation and in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous change, not a missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Missense variant with HCI prior probability of pathogenicity >0.68 and ≤0.81 OR Predicted splice defect for non-canonical splicing nucleotides with SpliceAI delta ≥0.2." The evidence for this variant shows SpliceAI delta scores =0, indicating no predicted splice impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Strong ≥3 independent CRC/Endometrial MSI-H tumors…; Moderate 2 tumors…; Supporting 1 tumor…" The evidence for this variant shows no tumor phenotype data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but evidence is unavailable for independent evaluation." The evidence for this variant shows reports of benign/likely benign, not pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Stand Alone GnomAD v4 Grpmax filtering allele frequency ≥0.0022 (0.22%)." The evidence for this variant shows allele frequency =0%, below the threshold. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
