Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The ZRSR2 c.812A>G (p.Tyr271Cys; p.Y271C) variant has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in population databases and meeting PM2 at supporting strength.
3
Generic PVS1 is not supported because this is a missense substitution rather than a predicted null variant, although gene-level evidence supports loss of function as a disease mechanism for ZRSR2.
4
Computational evidence is not sufficient for a definitive missense prediction: SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect with a maximum delta score of 0.08, while BayesDel is 0.588005.
Final determination:
Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback rules do not meet benign, likely benign, likely pathogenic, or pathogenic combination thresholds, so the variant is classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance.
Criteria assessment
ACMG/AMP criteria review
Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | Not met | ZRSR2 loss of function is an established disease mechanism, but NM_005089.3:c.812A>G (p.Tyr271Cys; p.Y271C) is a missense substitution in exon 9 and does not fall into the generic PVS1 null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1/2 splice variants. Available evidence therefore does not support applying PVS1. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified that this amino acid change has a previously established pathogenic amino acid substitution at the same residue. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with parental confirmation was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No published well-established functional study was identified for p.Tyr271Cys (p.Y271C) showing a damaging effect. |
oncokb
clinvar
|
| PS4 | Not met | This variant has not been reported in ClinVar, and no case-control or case-enrichment data were identified showing that p.Tyr271Cys (p.Y271C) is more common in affected individuals than in controls. Available evidence does not support PS4. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | Available evidence does not show that p.Tyr271Cys (p.Y271C) lies in a well-established mutational hotspot or a critical functional domain without benign variation. Cancer Hotspots did not identify a statistically significant hotspot at this residue, and the hotspot review was flagged as uncertain. |
hotspots
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and absent from gnomAD v4.1, which is below the non-VCEP rarity threshold of 0.1% and supports PM2 at supporting strength. |

|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 is intended for recessive disorders with detected variants in trans, and that evidence context was not identified for this case. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to protein length changes from in-frame insertions/deletions or stop-loss variants, and this variant is a missense substitution. |
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified that a different pathogenic missense change at codon 271 has been established. |
clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence without confirmed parentage was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not establish a gene-specific missense-constraint pattern that would support PP2 for this variant. |
final_classification_framework
|
| PP3 | Not assessed | Computational evidence is limited and mixed for this missense change. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.08, while BayesDel is 0.588005; without additional concordant missense predictors, these data do not provide sufficient support to apply PP3. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype-specific clinical evidence was provided to show a presentation highly specific for a single-gene ZRSR2 disorder. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | No reputable source classification suitable for PP5 use was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 and is therefore well below the benign stand-alone threshold of 1%. BA1 is not met. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 and therefore does not exceed the benign strong frequency threshold of 0.3%. BS1 is not met. |

|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in healthy adult individuals in a manner sufficient to support BS2. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No published well-established functional study was identified for p.Tyr271Cys (p.Y271C) showing normal protein function or no damaging effect. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No family data were identified showing lack of segregation between this variant and disease. |
clinvar
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Although ZRSR2 loss of function is a recognized disease mechanism, the reviewed material does not provide a validated gene-specific framework showing that missense variation is consistently benign enough to support BP1 for this variant. |

|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase information or second-variant context was identified to assess BP2. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame insertions or deletions in repetitive regions without known function, and this variant is a missense substitution. |
|
| BP4 | Not assessed | Available computational evidence does not support a benign interpretation. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.08, but BayesDel is 0.588005 and does not support BP4; overall, the computational data are not sufficient to apply BP4. |

| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular diagnosis or other established cause of disease was provided to assess BP5. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable source reported this variant as benign or likely benign in the reviewed materials. |

|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 is intended for synonymous or certain noncoding variants with no predicted splice impact, and this variant is a missense substitution. |
