Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The SF3B1 c.1866G>T (p.Glu622Asp; p.E622D) variant has been observed in somatic cancer resources and has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
In population databases, this variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and is present at very low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (AF 2.478382310298422e-06, 4/1613956 alleles), which is below the default PM2 threshold of 0.1%.
3
Published studies show that disease-associated SF3B1 missense variants cluster in functionally important splicing regions and can disrupt RNA splicing, but no well-established functional assay specific to p.Glu622Asp was identified.
4
Computational results are mixed: REVEL is 0.455, BayesDel is -0.0897007, and SpliceAI predicts a possible splice effect with a maximum delta score of 0.27, so in silico evidence does not clearly support either a damaging or benign interpretation.
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 | N/A | This is a missense variant, and available PVS1 review indicates it does not fall within the generic null-variant categories for PVS1 application such as nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1 or 2 splice variants. Although SF3B1 was flagged as eligible for generic PVS1 consideration at the gene level, this specific variant type does not support PVS1. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this exact amino acid change, p.Glu622Asp (p.E622D), matches a previously established pathogenic variant caused by a different nucleotide change. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with parental confirmation was identified for this variant. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Published studies show that SF3B1 alterations can disrupt splicing and cell function, but no well-established functional study specific to p.Glu622Asp was identified. Available gene-level functional literature therefore does not support applying PS3 to this exact variant. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | This variant has variant-specific somatic cancer context, but no germline case-control or affected-individual enrichment data were identified to show that it is significantly more common in affected individuals than in controls. |

clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | Published studies show that recurrent SF3B1 missense variants cluster in the HEAT-repeat region, but the available hotspot review did not identify p.Glu622Asp or codon 622 as a statistically significant hotspot. Nearby regional clustering alone is not sufficient to apply PM1 for this variant. |

| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and is present at very low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 with AF 2.478382310298422e-06 (0.00025%, 4/1613956 alleles), which is below the default PM2 threshold of 0.1%. This rarity supports PM2. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant in a recessive disorder. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | This is a missense substitution and does not cause a protein length change from an in-frame insertion, in-frame deletion, or stop-loss event. |
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing a different pathogenic missense change at codon 622 that would support PM5 for this novel amino acid substitution. |
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence without full parental confirmation was identified for this variant. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | SF3B1 is known to harbor disease-relevant missense variation, but no gene-specific missense constraint rule or calibrated framework was identified here to support PP2 for this variant. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Available computational evidence is mixed rather than consistently damaging. REVEL is 0.455, BayesDel is -0.0897007, and SpliceAI shows a possible splice effect with max delta score 0.27, so the in silico evidence does not provide a clear basis to apply PP3. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype information was provided that is sufficiently specific for a single-gene or narrow differential diagnosis assessment. |
|
| PP5 | N/A | Assertion-based pathogenic evidence was not used for this review, and no qualifying external classification source was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | The observed gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 2.478382310298422e-06 (0.00025%), which is well below the default BA1 threshold of 1%, so BA1 is not met. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | The observed gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 2.478382310298422e-06 (0.00025%), which is below the default BS1 threshold of 0.3%, so BS1 is not met. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not assessed | This variant is rare in population databases and no evidence was identified showing observation in healthy adults in a manner sufficient to apply BS2. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study showing no damaging effect for p.Glu622Asp was identified. |

|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation evidence was identified for this variant. |
|
| BP1 | N/A | This is a missense variant in a gene where disease-relevant missense variation is established, so BP1 does not apply. |
PMID:21909114
PMID:25428262
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase data were identified to show this variant occurs in cis with a pathogenic variant or in trans in a manner supporting BP2. |
|
| BP3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that this missense change is located in a repetitive region without known function that would support BP3. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not provide a clearly benign prediction. REVEL is 0.455, BayesDel is -0.0897007, and SpliceAI predicts a possible splice effect with max delta score 0.27, so BP4 is not supported. |

| BP5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified for an alternate molecular explanation for disease that would support BP5. |

| BP7 | N/A | This criterion is for synonymous or certain noncoding variants with no predicted splice impact, and it does not apply to this missense variant. |
