Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The LPL c.1385T>C (p.Phe462Ser; p.F462S) variant has been reported in ClinVar as uncertain significance by two clinical laboratories.
2
This variant is rare in population databases, with allele frequencies of 0.00080% in gnomAD v2.1 (2/251272) and 0.00037% in gnomAD v4.1 (6/1613776), which are both below the 0.1% PM2 threshold.
3
Computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, with REVEL 0.735 and BayesDel 0.304545, while SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.04.
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 variant is a missense substitution, p.(Phe462Ser) / p.(F462S), and does not fall into the generic PVS1 null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1,2 splice variants. Available splice prediction also does not suggest a loss-of-function transcript effect. |
pvs1_variant_assessment

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified that another nucleotide change produces the same amino acid substitution with an established pathogenic classification, so PS1 cannot be applied from the available data. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence was identified. Available evidence does not document maternity and paternity confirmation in an affected individual. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study of this exact variant was identified showing a damaging effect on lipoprotein lipase function, so PS3 is not applied. |
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | The available data do not show a statistically increased prevalence of this variant in affected individuals compared with controls, so PS4 cannot be applied. |

|
| PM1 | Not met | This variant has not been shown to lie in a statistically significant hotspot or other well-established critical functional region without benign variation, so PM1 is not met. |

|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is rare in population databases. In gnomAD v2.1 the allele frequency is 0.00080% (2/251272), and in gnomAD v4.1 the allele frequency is 0.00037% (6/1613776), both below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified that this variant was observed in trans with a pathogenic variant in an affected individual, so PM3 cannot be assessed from the available data. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | This variant is a missense substitution and does not produce a protein length change, so PM4 is not applicable. |
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified for a different pathogenic missense change at codon 462, so PM5 cannot be applied from the available data. |
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence without confirmed parentage was identified, so PM6 is not applied. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified showing that this variant tracks with LPL-related disease in a family, so PP1 cannot be applied. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not establish a gene-specific pattern that would support applying PP2 to this missense variant. |
|
| PP3 | Met | Multiple computational predictors support a deleterious effect. REVEL is 0.735 and BayesDel is 0.304545, both consistent with a damaging missense effect, while SpliceAI shows no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.04. Overall, the in silico evidence supports pathogenicity at a supporting level. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No case-specific phenotype information was provided that is sufficiently specific for an LPL-related disorder, so PP4 cannot be assessed. |
|
| PP5 | N/A | A prior laboratory classification in ClinVar is not used as stand-alone evidence for PP5. The available ClinVar record is uncertain significance and does not provide independent evidence to apply this criterion. |

| BA1 | Not met | This variant is not common enough for BA1. The highest observed population frequency is 0.00544% in gnomAD v2.1 East Asian and 0.00167% in gnomAD v4.1 Admixed American, both below the 1% BA1 threshold. |

| BS1 | Not met | This variant does not reach the BS1 threshold. The highest observed population frequency is 0.00544% in gnomAD v2.1 and 0.00167% in gnomAD v4.1, both below the 0.3% BS1 threshold. |

| BS2 | Not assessed | Available population data do not show well-established benign observations in healthy adults that would support BS2 for this variant. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study was identified showing normal or near-normal function for this exact variant, so BS3 is not applied. |
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data were identified showing that this variant fails to track with disease in a family, so BS4 cannot be applied. |
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not establish a gene-specific pattern to support BP1 for this missense variant. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase information or accompanying variant data were identified to assess BP2. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | This variant is not an in-frame insertion or deletion in a repetitive region, so BP3 is not applicable. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not support a benign effect. REVEL is 0.735 and BayesDel is 0.304545, which do not favor benignity, although SpliceAI shows no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.04. |

|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular explanation was identified that would make this variant an incidental finding, so BP5 cannot be assessed from the available data. |
|
| BP6 | N/A | A prior laboratory classification in ClinVar is not used as stand-alone evidence for BP6. The available ClinVar record is uncertain significance and does not provide independent evidence to apply this criterion. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | This is a missense variant rather than a synonymous or deep intronic change, so BP7 is not applicable. |
