Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BCORL1 c.643_798dup (p.His215_Pro266dup) variant has not been observed in somatic cancer records in COSMIC and has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and absent from gnomAD v4.1, with an observed population frequency of 0, which is below the 0.1% rarity threshold used for PM2.
3
In silico splice prediction does not support an abnormal splicing effect, with a SpliceAI maximum delta score of 0.00.
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 | BCORL1 loss of function appears to be an established germline disease mechanism, but this variant is an in-frame duplication rather than a nonsense, frameshift, or canonical splice-site variant. Under the generic PVS1 framework, available evidence does not support applying PVS1 to this variant. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | PS1 is intended for the same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant. No such comparison variant was identified. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No de novo data were identified for this variant. Available evidence does not support confirmed maternity and paternity with a de novo occurrence. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study of this specific variant was identified. Available evidence does not show a damaging effect in a validated assay. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | This variant has not been reported in ClinVar or COSMIC, and no case series or enrichment data in affected individuals were identified. Available evidence does not support increased prevalence in affected individuals over controls. |
clinvar
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM1 | Not met | This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot, and no critical functional domain with established pathogenic clustering at this interval was identified. Available evidence does not support PM1. |
hotspots
oncokb
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and absent from gnomAD v4.1. Its observed population frequency is therefore 0, which is below the non-VCEP PM2 threshold of 0.1%, supporting rarity. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No phase data or additional pathogenic variant data were identified. Available evidence does not support evaluation under PM3. |
|
| PM4 | Not assessed | This variant is an in-frame protein duplication, but available evidence does not establish that this protein length change occurs in a clearly non-repetitive, functionally constrained region or has a demonstrated pathogenic effect. Additional variant-specific or domain-specific evidence would be needed to apply PM4. |
oncokb
|
| PM5 | N/A | PM5 is intended for a novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change is established. This variant is an in-frame duplication, so PM5 is not applicable. |
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence was identified for this variant. Available evidence does not support PM6. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant. Available evidence does not support co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members. |
|
| PP2 | N/A | PP2 is a missense criterion. This variant is an in-frame duplication, so PP2 is not applicable. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant, with a maximum delta score of 0.00. REVEL and BayesDel were not available because this is not a single-nucleotide variant, and available computational evidence does not support a damaging prediction. |
spliceai
|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype information was provided to assess whether the clinical presentation is highly specific for a BCORL1-related disorder. Available evidence does not support PP4. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | No reputable source classification for this specific variant was identified. Available evidence does not support PP5. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1. Its observed population frequency is 0, which is below the BA1 threshold of 1%, so BA1 is not met. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1. Its observed population frequency is 0, which is below the BS1 threshold of 0.3%, so BS1 is not met. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in healthy adults for a disorder with expected full penetrance at an early age. Available evidence does not support BS2. |
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study showing normal function for this specific variant was identified. Available evidence does not support BS3. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data were identified for this variant. Available evidence does not support BS4. |
|
| BP1 | N/A | BP1 is intended for missense variants in genes where truncating variants are the main known mechanism. This variant is an in-frame duplication, so BP1 is not applicable. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase information or additional variant data were identified to assess BP2. Available evidence does not support this criterion. |
|
| BP3 | Not assessed | This variant is an in-frame duplication, but available evidence does not adequately establish that it lies within a benign repetitive region without known function. Additional protein-region evidence would be needed to apply BP3 confidently. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant, with a maximum delta score of 0.00, but this alone does not establish a benign protein effect for an in-frame duplication. REVEL and BayesDel were not available because this is not a single-nucleotide variant, so available computational evidence is insufficient to support BP4. |
spliceai
|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular diagnosis or alternate established cause for the phenotype was identified. Available evidence does not support BP5. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable source benign classification for this specific variant was identified. Available evidence does not support BP6. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 is intended for synonymous or certain noncoding variants with no predicted splice impact. This variant is an in-frame coding duplication, so BP7 is not applicable. |
