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 or multi-exon deletion in a LoF gene)". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_000548.5:c.2356-15T>A is an intronic variant outside the canonical ±1/2 splice sites with no predicted splicing impact. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because the variant does not create a null allele as defined by the rule.

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 amino acid change is produced or documented for this intronic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because there is no matching pathogenic amino acid change.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: no information regarding de novo occurrence is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to lack of de novo confirmation.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because functional data are lacking.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "PS4 – Prevalence in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls". The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or cohort data indicating enrichment in affected individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to absence 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 well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: c.2356-15T>A is located in a non-canonical intronic region with no known functional domain annotation. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because it is not in a defined hotspot or domain.

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: present in gnomAD at MAF=0.0143%, extremely rare and absent from other control datasets. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the allele frequency is below thresholds 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 recessive disorders". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on phasing with another variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength due to lack of trans observation.

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 evidence for this variant shows: it is an intronic SNV with no effect on protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

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 before". The evidence for this variant shows: not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

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: family segregation data are not available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: it is non-coding. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: CADD score 0.33 and SpliceAI max 0.14 predict no deleterious effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength because computational evidence does not indicate harm.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype information. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

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 evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar reports benign and VUS, no pathogenic reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "BA1 – Allele frequency is too high for the disorder". The evidence for this variant shows: MAF=0.0143% which is well below the BA1 threshold. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

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=0.0143% which is not greater than expected. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "BS2 – Observed in a healthy adult individual for a dominant disorder with full penetrance expected at an early age". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on observation in healthy individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

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". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

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 data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

BP1

BP1 (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". The evidence for this variant shows: no such observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

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: single nucleotide substitution in an intron. 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 on gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: CADD score 0.33 and SpliceAI max 0.14 predict no impact. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because in silico tools uniformly indicate lack of 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". The evidence for this variant shows: no case data with alternate diagnoses. Therefore, this criterion is not applied at Not Applied strength.
