VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Use PALB2 PVS1 Decision Tree Modification Type: Gene-specific,Strength". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change (W877C) rather than a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not meet the null variant criteria per the PALB2 PVS1 decision tree.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong Strength: Strong Use PALB2 PS1 Splicing table Modification Type: General recommendation". The evidence for this variant shows: it does not result in the same amino acid change as any previously established pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "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 is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "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 conducted. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Strong Strength: Strong Case-control studies; p-value ≤ .05 AND (Odds ratio ≥3 OR lower 95% CI ≥1.5)." The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or cohort data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well‐established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence for this variant shows: W877C is not reported to lie within a known functional domain or hotspot. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Variant absent in gnomAD or present in ≤1/300,000 alleles Modification Type: Gene-specific,Strength". The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from gnomAD and other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Use Fanconi Anemia PM3 tables; supporting to strong strengths depending on observed trans occurrences". The evidence for this variant shows: no reports of the variant occurring in trans with a pathogenic PALB2 variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in‐frame deletions/insertions in a non‐repeat region or stop‐loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change without alteration of protein length. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Supporting Strength: Apply to frameshifting or truncating variants with premature termination codons upstream of p.Tyr1183". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a missense change, not a truncating variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

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

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting LOD ≥0.3 or Bayes Factor ≥2:1 Modification Type: Gene-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: no family segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "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 missense variant distribution for PALB2. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Strength: Protein: Do not use. RNA: At least one well-established in silico predictor (e.g. SpliceAI) shows impact on splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI predicts no significant splicing impact (max score 0.17) and protein predictors are mixed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "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 or clinical context was provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic". The evidence for this variant shows: not reported in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Stand Alone Strength: GnomAD Filtering Allele Frequency >0.1% Modification Type: Disease-specific,Gene-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong Strength: GnomAD Filtering Allele Frequency greater than expected for disease >0.01% Modification Type: Disease-specific,Gene-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Strong Strength: Per Fanconi Anemia BS2 tables". The evidence for this variant shows: no observation in healthy adult individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Strong Strength: Functional studies show no damaging effect". The evidence for this variant shows: no functional studies have been conducted. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Strong Strength: LOD ≤ -1.28 or Bayes Factor ≤ 0.053:1 Modification Type: Gene-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Supporting Strength: Apply to all missense variants." The evidence for this variant shows: W877C is a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: "Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene". The evidence for this variant shows: no trans observations with a pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

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

BP4

BP4 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Supporting Strength: Protein: Do not use. RNA: At least one well-established in silico predictor (e.g. SpliceAI) shows no impact on splicing." The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI predicts no significant splicing effect. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.

BP5

BP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular cause of disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no alternate molecular cause was reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
