Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The VPS13C c.5566G>T (p.Gly1856Trp; p.G1856W) variant has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, placing it below the 0.1% rarity threshold used for PM2.
3
Computational evidence does not support a damaging or splice-altering effect: SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.11, REVEL is 0.261, and BayesDel is -0.307905.
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 | N/A | This variant is a missense substitution, p.Gly1856Trp, and does not fall into the generic PVS1 null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1,2 splice variants, so PVS1 is not applicable. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing that a different nucleotide change produces the same amino acid substitution with an established pathogenic classification, so PS1 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with parental testing was identified, so PS2 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study for this exact variant was identified, so PS3 was not assessed. |
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No enrichment data or repeated observations in affected individuals were identified for this variant, so PS4 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not assessed | Available hotspot review did not identify a statistically significant hotspot at Gly1856, but the hotspot result was flagged for confirmation, so PM1 was not assessed. |
hotspots
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, which places the allele frequency below the non-VCEP PM2 threshold of 0.1%, supporting rarity in population databases. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No observations of this variant in trans with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant were identified, so PM3 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| PM4 | N/A | This variant is a missense substitution and does not cause a protein length change, so PM4 is not applicable. |
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No different pathogenic missense change at codon 1856 was identified from the available evidence, so PM5 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence without confirmed parentage was identified, so PM6 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant, so PP1 was not assessed. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Available evidence did not establish a gene-specific missense constraint or a predominance of pathogenic missense variation sufficient to apply PP2, so PP2 was not assessed. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not support a damaging effect. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.11, which is below 0.2, and the missense predictors are not strongly pathogenic (REVEL 0.261; BayesDel -0.307905), so PP3 is not met. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype information specific enough to establish a highly specific clinical presentation for this variant was identified, so PP4 was not assessed. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | No reputable source classification for this exact variant was identified, so PP5 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1 and therefore does not meet the stand-alone benign frequency threshold of more than 1%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1 and therefore does not exceed the strong benign frequency threshold of more than 0.3%. |

|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in healthy adult individuals at a count sufficient for BS2, so BS2 was not assessed. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study showing retained or normal function for this exact variant was identified, so BS3 was not assessed. |
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No lack-of-segregation data were identified for this variant, so BS4 was not assessed. |
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Available evidence did not establish that benign interpretation is favored because only truncating variants cause disease in this gene, so BP1 was not assessed. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase data were identified showing this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant, so BP2 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| BP3 | N/A | This variant is not an in-frame deletion or insertion in a repetitive region, so BP3 is not applicable. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Multiple computational results argue against a deleterious effect. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a max delta score of 0.11, which is below 0.2, REVEL is 0.261, and BayesDel is -0.307905, together supporting BP4. |

|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular explanation for the observed phenotype was provided, so BP5 was not assessed. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable source benign classification for this exact variant was identified, so BP6 was not assessed. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | This variant is missense rather than synonymous or intronic, so BP7 is not applicable. |
