Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The PTPN11 c.53A>G (p.Asn18Ser) variant has not been observed in COSMIC and has been reported in ClinVar as Benign by the ClinGen RASopathy Variant Curation Expert Panel, with additional benign and likely benign clinical laboratory submissions.
2
This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, with the highest observed South Asian frequency reaching 0.09552% in v4.1 and grpmax filtering allele frequencies of 0.05125% in v2.1 and 0.07930% in v4.1, which are above the PTPN11 RASopathy BA1 threshold of 0.05%.
3
No approved variant-specific functional study for p.(Asn18Ser) was identified in the RASopathy VCEP approved functional studies resource.
4
Computational evidence does not meet the PTPN11 missense thresholds for either PP3 or BP4: REVEL is 0.301, which is below the PP3 cutoff of 0.7 and just above the BP4 cutoff of 0.3, SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00, and BayesDel is -0.292277.
Final determination:
Rule17 in the ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for PTPN11 Version 2.3.0 v2.3.0 criteria-combination framework is satisfied by the adjudicated criteria, so the variant is classified as Benign.
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 the PTPN11 RASopathy specification marks PVS1 as not applicable for this criterion assessment. |

|
| PS1 | Not met | No evidence was identified that this amino acid change matches a previously established pathogenic PTPN11 variant; the available ClinVar record for this change is benign by the ClinGen RASopathy expert panel. |

| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with the case-level details needed for RASopathy point scoring was identified. |
clinvar
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not met | No approved variant-specific functional study for p.(Asn18Ser) was identified in the RASopathy VCEP approved functional studies resource, so functional evidence supporting a damaging effect was not established for PS3. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No validated count of unrelated affected individuals or case-enrichment point total was identified, and the observed population frequency argues against applying PS4 from the currently available evidence. |

| PM1 | Not met | Residue 18 is not listed among the PTPN11 residues allowed for PM1 in the RASopathy specification, and no hotspot evidence supporting this residue was identified. |

| PM2 | Not met | This variant is present in population databases, so it is not absent from controls and does not meet PM2_Supporting. |

| PM3 | N/A | PM3 is not applicable under the PTPN11 RASopathy specification for this evaluation. |
cspec
|
| PM4 | N/A | This is a missense substitution and does not cause a protein length change, so PM4 does not apply. |
cspec
|
| PM5 | Not met | No pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense comparator at the same residue was identified, so the available evidence does not support PM5 for codon 18. |

|
| PP2 | Not assessed | The PTPN11 missense z-score needed for PP2 was not identified in the available evidence, so PP2 could not be adjudicated from the reviewed materials. |

| PP3 | Not met | Computational evidence does not meet the PTPN11 PP3 threshold: REVEL is 0.301, which is below the required threshold of at least 0.7, and SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00. |

| BP1 | N/A | BP1 in this framework is intended for truncating variants in genes without established loss-of-function disease correlation; this variant is missense, so BP1 does not apply. |

cspec

| BP3 | N/A | BP3 is not applicable under the PTPN11 RASopathy specification. |
cspec
|
| BP4 | Not met | Computational evidence does not meet the PTPN11 BP4 threshold because REVEL is 0.301, which is above the benign cutoff of 0.3. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00, and BayesDel is -0.292277, but the panel's missense BP4 rule is not met. |
