VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "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 or multiexon deletion)." The evidence for this variant shows it is a missense change (Q1468L) not predicted to create a null allele. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant is not a predicted LoF.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "PS1 – Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant, regardless of nucleotide change." The evidence for this variant shows no previously established pathogenic variant at residue Q1468. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because there is no known pathogenic Q1468 variant.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "PS2 – De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history." There is no de novo occurrence data for this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of de novo evidence.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "PS3 – Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product." No functional assays of the Q1468L variant have been reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because required functional data are absent.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "PS4 – Prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls." There are no case‐control or affected‐individual data for this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of prevalence data.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "PM1 – Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well‐established functional domain without benign variation." The Q1468 residue is not known to be in a defined mutational hotspot or critical domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Moderate)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "PM2 – Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)." The evidence for this variant shows a gnomAD MAF of 0.0457% (56/122,576 alleles) with no homozygotes. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent or extremely rare in population databases.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "PM3 – Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for a recessive disorder." This is not a recessive disorder context and no trans variant data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "PM4 – Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants." The variant is a missense substitution without protein length change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "PM5 – Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen." No other pathogenic missense changes have been reported at Q1468. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "PM6 – Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity." No de novo data exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "PP1 – Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease." No segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "PP2 – Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease." Insufficient evidence on CUX1 missense constraint and mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "PP3 – Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product." Computational predictions are predominantly benign (CADD, PolyPhen-2, MetaSVM, MetaLR) and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "PP4 – Patient’s phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology." No patient phenotype data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "PP5 – Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence." The variant is not reported in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "BA1 – Allele frequency is too high for the disorder." The MAF of 0.0457% is below any BA1 threshold. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "BS1 – Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder." The observed frequency is low. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "BS2 – Observed in healthy individuals for a dominant disorder with full penetrance expected early." No data on healthy adult observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "BS3 – Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing." No functional studies exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "BS4 – Lack of segregation in affected family members." No segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "BP1 – Missense variant in a gene for which only loss of function is known to cause disease." Mechanism for CUX1 is not fully established. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "BP2 – Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant." No such data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "BP3 – In-frame indels in a repetitive region without known function." This is not an indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Supporting)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "BP4 – Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, splicing impact, etc.)." The evidence shows benign in silico predictions (CADD, PolyPhen-2, MetaSVM, MetaLR) and a SpliceAI score of 0. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational tools consistently predict no deleterious effect.

BP5

BP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "BP5 – Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease." No such reporting. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP6

BP6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "BP6 – Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence." No such reports exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP7

BP7 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "BP7 – Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing." This is a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
