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: Use PALB2 PVS1 Decision Tree". The evidence shows: this is a missense variant (W877C), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong Strength: Use PALB2 PS1 Splicing table". The evidence shows: no previously established pathogenic variant with the same amino acid change. 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 shows: no de novo testing has been performed. 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 shows: no functional characterization has been performed for this variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

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

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Location in a mutational hotspot and/or critical and well-established functional domain without benign variation". The evidence shows: W877C is not in a known hotspot or critical domain. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting: Variant absent in gnomAD or present in ≤1/300,000 alleles". The evidence shows: the variant has MAF=0% and is not present in gnomAD. 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 for recessive inheritance". The evidence shows: PALB2 is associated with dominant cancer risk and no trans variant data. 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 or stop-loss". The evidence shows: W877C is a missense change, not an in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Supporting: frameshifting or truncating variants with PTCs upstream of p.Tyr1183". The evidence shows: W877C is missense, not truncating. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

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

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Supporting/Moderate/Strong based on LOD thresholds for segregation". The evidence shows: 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: "Missense variant in a gene with low rate of benign missense variation". The evidence shows: no specific data on background missense tolerance. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting: RNA: At least one well-established in silico predictor shows impact on splicing". The evidence shows: SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (score 0.17). 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 shows: no phenotype or family history data 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 shows: variant is not reported in ClinVar or other sources. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Stand Alone: GnomAD allele frequency >0.1%". The evidence shows: variant frequency is 0% in gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong: GnomAD allele frequency >0.01%". The evidence shows: variant frequency is 0% in gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

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

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect". The evidence shows: no functional studies performed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Strong/Moderate/Supporting based on LOD thresholds for non-segregation". The evidence shows: no segregation data in unaffected relatives. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Supporting: apply to all missense variants". The evidence shows: W877C is a missense variant. 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 dominant gene or in cis with a pathogenic variant". The evidence shows: no such observations. 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 shows: W877C is missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP4

BP4 (Supporting)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Supporting: RNA: well-established predictor shows no impact on splicing". The evidence shows: SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (score 0.17). 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 basis for disease". The evidence shows: no alternate molecular diagnosis. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP6

BP6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign". The evidence shows: no such reports. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP7

BP7 (Not Applied)

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Supporting: synonymous or deep intronic variant with no predicted splicing impact". The evidence shows: W877C is missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
