Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The CUX1 c.1657_1716+4dup (NP_001189473.1:p.?) variant has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, which supports rarity in population databases.
3
Germline loss of function is an established disease mechanism for CUX1, but this duplication does not fall into the generic PVS1 default null-variant categories based on the available variant-level assessment.
4
SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant, with a maximum delta score of 0.05.
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 | Germline loss of function is an established disease mechanism for CUX1, but this duplication does not fall into the generic PVS1 default null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1,2 splice variants, so PVS1 is not applied. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this variant results in the same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence data were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional studies were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this variant is enriched in affected individuals compared with controls. |

gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM1 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not establish that this variant lies in a mutational hotspot or a well-studied critical region without benign variation. |
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, which is below the generic rarity threshold of 0.1% for PM2 support and is consistent with a rare variant. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No data were identified showing this variant in trans with another pathogenic variant. |
clinvar
|
| PM4 | Not assessed | This duplication extends from coding sequence into intronic sequence, and the resulting protein consequence remains uncertain, so protein-length change evidence cannot be applied from the available data. |
pvs1_variant_assessment
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified for a different pathogenic missense change at the same residue because the protein consequence of this variant is unresolved. |
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No presumed de novo occurrence data were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP2 | N/A | PP2 is a missense-specific criterion, and this variant is not an established missense change. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not support a damaging splicing effect because SpliceAI shows a maximum delta score of 0.05, which is below commonly used splice-impact thresholds; REVEL and BayesDel were not available because this is not an SNV. |
spliceai
|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype information was provided to determine whether the observed clinical features are highly specific for a CUX1-related disorder. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | No reputable source classification was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 and therefore does not meet the stand-alone benign frequency threshold of 1%. |
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 frequency threshold of 0.3%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in healthy adults for a disorder with expected penetrance at the relevant age. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional studies were identified showing no damaging effect for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BP1 | N/A | BP1 is a missense-specific criterion, and this variant is not an established missense change. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phasing data were identified to determine whether this variant occurs in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis with another pathogenic variant. |
clinvar
|
| BP3 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not show that this duplication is an in-frame event in a repetitive region without known function. |
|
| BP4 | Not assessed | SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.05, but this exon-intron duplication also alters coding sequence and the overall transcript and protein consequence remains uncertain, so benign computational evidence is not applied. |
spliceai
|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular explanation for disease was provided, so this criterion cannot be assessed from the available evidence. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable source reported this variant as benign or likely benign. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous or intronic variants without predicted splice impact, and this variant is a duplication that includes coding sequence. |
