VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PVS1 is: 'PVS1 – Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: this is a missense change (S297P), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied because the variant type is not a null variant.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PS1 is: 'PS1 – Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change'. The evidence for this variant shows: there is no previously established pathogenic variant with the same amino acid change at codon 297. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PS2 is: 'PS2 – De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history'. The evidence for this variant shows: there are no data on de novo occurrence. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PS3 is: '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 have been reported. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PS4 is: 'PS4 – Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls'. The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or cohort data are available. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PM1 is: 'PM1 – Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation'. The evidence for this variant shows: residue S297 is not reported as a mutational hotspot or within a characterized critical domain devoid of benign variation. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PM2 is: 'PM2 – Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is not found in gnomAD, 1000 Genomes, or ExAC. Therefore, this criterion is Applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from population databases.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PM3 is: 'PM3 – Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders)'. The evidence for this variant shows: no data on phase or recessive compound heterozygosity. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PM4 is: 'PM4 – Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change with no alteration of protein length. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PM5
PM5 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PM5 is: 'PM5 – Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen'. The evidence for this variant shows: other pathogenic missense variants at residue S297 have been reported. Therefore, this criterion is Applied at Moderate strength.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PM6 is: 'PM6 – 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 standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PP1 is: 'PP1 – Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members'. The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data available. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding 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'. The evidence for this variant shows: insufficient data on the rate of benign versus pathogenic missense variation in POLE. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PP3 is: 'PP3 – Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: computational predictions are mixed, with a preponderance of benign predictions and no splicing impact. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PP4 is: '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 or family history data provided. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for PP5 is: 'PP5 – Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence'. The evidence for this variant shows: no such reports in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is Not Applied.
BA1

BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule/finding for BS3 is: '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.
