Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The SETBP1 c.1313C>A (p.Ala438Asp) variant has not been reported in ClinVar, and no variant-specific reviewed functional evidence was identified in OncoKB.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, so the observed population frequency is 0 and is below the 0.1% threshold used for PM2 support.
3
Computational evidence does not support a damaging effect: REVEL is 0.054, BayesDel is -0.44775, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00, supporting BP4 rather than PP3.
Final determination:
Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback rules identified both pathogenic and benign evidence, so the overall classification remains Variant of Uncertain Significance because the evidence is conflicting.
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 | This variant is a missense substitution, p.(Ala438Asp), and does not fall within the generic PVS1 null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1,2 splice variants. Although SETBP1 loss of function is an established germline disease mechanism, the generic PVS1 framework does not apply to this variant type. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this nucleotide change results in the same amino acid substitution as a previously established pathogenic variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with parental confirmation was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No published functional study directly testing p.(Ala438Asp) was identified, so available evidence does not support a well-established damaging functional effect for this specific variant. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No case series, odds ratio, or count of independent affected individuals was identified for this variant, so enrichment in affected individuals has not been established. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | This variant was not identified in a statistically significant hotspot, and no validated critical functional domain without benign variation was established at residue Ala438 from the available evidence. |
hotspots
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, so the observed population frequency is 0 and is below the PM2 threshold of 0.1% for rare-variant support. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant in an affected individual. |
clinvar
|
| PM4 | Not met | This variant is a single amino acid substitution and does not change protein length or create an in-frame insertion or deletion. |
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing a different pathogenic missense substitution at the same residue, Ala438. |
clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No presumed de novo occurrence without full parental confirmation was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant in affected family members. |
clinvar
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not establish that pathogenic missense variation is a sufficiently predominant disease mechanism across SETBP1 to apply PP2 to this non-hotspot missense change. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| PP3 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not support a damaging effect. REVEL is 0.054, BayesDel is -0.44775, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype information was provided that is sufficiently specific for a single genetic etiology to support PP4. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | No reputable source classification supporting pathogenicity was identified for this variant. |

oncokb
|
| BA1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, so the observed population frequency is 0 and is below the BA1 threshold of 1%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, so the observed population frequency is 0 and is below the BS1 threshold of 0.3%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in healthy adult individuals for a condition expected to be fully penetrant at an early age. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study showing a normal or benign effect for p.(Ala438Asp) was identified. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No family data were identified showing lack of segregation between this variant and disease. |
clinvar
|
| BP1 | N/A | BP1 does not apply because SETBP1 has an established pathogenic missense disease mechanism, so missense variation is not a class that is generally expected to be benign in this gene. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase information was identified showing this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant. |
clinvar
|
| BP3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this variant lies within a repetitive region without a known function. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Computational evidence supports no damaging effect. REVEL is 0.054, BayesDel is -0.44775, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00, which together support a benign computational interpretation. |

|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular diagnosis or other established cause was provided to explain the phenotype independently of this variant. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable source classification supporting benignity was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 does not apply because this variant is missense, not a synonymous or deep intronic change. |
