Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The BCORL1 c.2361A>T (p.Pro787=) variant has not been reported in ClinVar.
2
This variant is present in gnomAD at 0.00164% in v2.1 (3/183251 alleles; grpmax FAF 9.75e-06) and 0.00107% in v4.1 (13/1212241 alleles; grpmax FAF 8.1e-06), which is below the default non-VCEP PM2 threshold of 0.1%.
3
SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this synonymous variant, with a maximum delta score of 0.00, arguing against a computationally predicted splice-disrupting effect.
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 synonymous at p.(Pro787=) and does not fall into the generic PVS1 null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1,2 splice-site variants. Although loss of function is an established disease mechanism for BCORL1, the available evidence does not support applying PVS1 to this specific change. |

|
| PS1 | N/A | This criterion is intended for variants that produce the same amino acid change as an established pathogenic variant. This variant is synonymous and no amino acid substitution is present. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with verified maternity and paternity was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional or RNA study demonstrating a damaging effect of this exact variant was identified. |
oncokb
spliceai
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No enrichment data in affected individuals versus controls were identified for this variant. The available sources do not provide case counts sufficient to support increased prevalence in affected individuals. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot, and no evidence was identified that codon 787 is in a well-established critical functional region without benign variation. |

oncokb
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is present at very low frequency in population databases and remains below the default non-VCEP PM2 threshold of 0.1%. In gnomAD v2.1 the allele frequency is 0.00164% (3/183251; grpmax FAF 9.75e-06), and in gnomAD v4.1 the allele frequency is 0.00107% (13/1212241; grpmax FAF 8.1e-06). |

|
| PM3 | N/A | This criterion is used for recessive disorders with pathogenic variants observed in trans. The reviewed evidence does not support applying PM3 to this BCORL1 variant. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | This variant does not change protein length and is not an in-frame insertion or deletion. |
|
| PM5 | N/A | PM5 applies to novel missense changes at a residue where another pathogenic missense change is established. This variant is synonymous, and the reviewed PM5 candidate collection did not support classic same-residue PM5 use. |

|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No presumed de novo report was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP2 | N/A | PP2 is a missense-based criterion and is not applicable to this synonymous variant. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not support a damaging effect. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant, with a maximum delta score of 0.00. |
spliceai
|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No phenotype-specific clinical evidence was provided to show that the observed presentation is highly specific for BCORL1-related disease. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | No reputable external source classification for this exact variant was identified that could support PP5. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Population frequency does not reach the BA1 threshold of 1%. The highest reviewed population frequency is 0.00164% in gnomAD v2.1 and 0.00107% in gnomAD v4.1, both well below 1%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | Population frequency does not exceed the default non-VCEP BS1 threshold of 0.3%. The highest reviewed population frequency is 0.00164% in gnomAD v2.1 and 0.00107% in gnomAD v4.1, both below 0.3%. |
gnomad_v2

|
| BS2 | Not assessed | The reviewed data do not establish observation of this variant in a number of healthy individuals sufficient for BS2. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional or RNA study showing a normal effect for this exact variant was identified. |
spliceai
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No family study showing lack of segregation with disease was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| BP1 | N/A | BP1 is a missense-based criterion and is not applicable to this synonymous variant. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase data were identified to determine whether this variant occurs in trans with a pathogenic variant or in cis with another variant. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | This criterion applies to in-frame insertions or deletions in repetitive regions and is not applicable to this synonymous single-nucleotide variant. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Available computational evidence supports no predicted molecular impact. This variant is synonymous at p.(Pro787=), and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect with a maximum delta score of 0.00. |
spliceai
|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular explanation for disease was identified in the reviewed materials, so BP5 was not assessed. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable benign external classification was identified for this exact variant. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | Not assessed | This is a synonymous variant and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact, but the reviewed sources did not provide nucleotide conservation evidence needed for a complete BP7 assessment. |
