VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 deletion in a LoF gene)". The evidence for this variant shows: it is an intronic deletion 22 nucleotides from the exon–intron boundary not predicted to disrupt splicing or lead to loss of function. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because the variant is not a null variant in the context of known LoF mechanism.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "PS1 – Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change". The evidence for this variant shows: no amino acid change is predicted or known for this intronic deletion. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because there is no matching amino acid change.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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". The evidence for this variant shows: no information regarding de novo status is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to lack of de novo confirmation.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because functional evidence is unavailable.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "PS4 – Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls". The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or affected-individual data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to absence of prevalence data.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "PM1 – Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic and not located in a recognized hotspot or functional domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
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 MAF of 0.000414% in gnomAD (1/241,552 alleles), meeting rarity criteria. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is extremely rare in population databases.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "PM3 – Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders)". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on trans configuration with a pathogenic allele and BAP1-related disease is dominant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic and does not alter protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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". The evidence for this variant shows: it is not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "PM6 – Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "PP1 – Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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". The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "PP3 – Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product (e.g., conservation, splicing impact)". The evidence for this variant shows: computational tools (SpliceAI 0.03, CADD –0.15) predict no deleterious effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule 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 patient phenotype or family history data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "PP5 – Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: no reputable source reports this variant as pathogenic. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "BA1 – Allele frequency is too high for the disorder (based on population data)". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF is 0.000414%, well below any BA1 threshold. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "BS1 – Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF is extremely low (0.000414%), not exceeding any expected frequency. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "BS2 – Observed in healthy individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: it is observed at very low frequency in population databases, but disease penetrance and age of onset for BAP1-related conditions are adult and variable. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule 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 have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "BS4 – Lack of segregation in affected family members". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation analysis data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "BP1 – Missense variant in a gene where only LoF causes disease". The evidence for this variant shows: it is intronic, not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "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 data on phase with other variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: "BP3 – In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a single nucleotide deletion in an intronic region not characterized as a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
BP4
BP4 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "BP4 – Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact". The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI maximum score 0.03 (below threshold), CADD score –0.15, and in silico predictors indicate no deleterious effect. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because computational tools predict no impact on splicing or function.
BP5
BP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "BP5 – Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no case reports with an alternate molecular diagnosis. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
