VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PVS1: "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 it is a synonymous change (P423=) with no predicted disruption of splicing or protein truncation. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is not a null variant.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PS1: "Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows no amino acid change (synonymous). Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PS2: "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 status or parental testing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PS3: "Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows no functional studies performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

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

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

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

PM2

PM2 (Moderate)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM2: "Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)". The evidence for this variant shows it is not present in gnomAD or other population databases (MAF = 0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from controls.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM3: "Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders)". The evidence for this variant shows no phasing or trans observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM4: "Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows a synonymous substitution with no length change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM5: "Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen". The evidence for this variant shows it is synonymous, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PM6: "Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity". The evidence for this variant shows no de novo assumption. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP1: "Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows no family segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP2: "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 it is synonymous, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP3: "Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product". The evidence for this variant shows in silico predictors (CADD -1.44, SpliceAI 0.01) do not predict deleterious impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP4: "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. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, PP5: "Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows only benign reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BA1: "Allele frequency is too high for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows a frequency of 0% in population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BS1: "Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows no elevated frequency. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BS2: "Observed in healthy individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows no data on healthy carriers. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BS3: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing". The evidence for this variant shows no functional studies. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BS4: "Lack of segregation in affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows no segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP1: "Missense variant in a gene where only LoF causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows it is synonymous, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP2: "Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for dominant disorders or in cis with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows no such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP3: "In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function". The evidence for this variant shows a single-nucleotide synonym. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP4: "Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows CADD score -1.44 and SpliceAI 0.01 predicting no impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational predictions indicate no deleterious effect.

BP5

BP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP5: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows no case reports with alternate etiology. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP6

BP6 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP6: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows a ClinVar entry as Likely Benign from one clinical laboratory with no primary data. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because a reputable source reports it as benign.

BP7

BP7 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, BP7: "Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing". The evidence for this variant shows SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (score 0.01). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because it is a silent change without splicing effect.
