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.
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.
pvs1_gene_context pvs1_variant_assessment pvs1_generic_framework
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.
spliceai revel bayesdel
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%.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
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.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
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.
