Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The GATA2 c.856G>C (p.Ala286Pro) variant has been reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance with three clinical laboratory submissions.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and is present only once in gnomAD v4.1 (AF 6.19681e-07; 1/1613734 alleles), which supports rarity in population databases.
3
Computational evidence does not strongly support either a damaging or benign effect: SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.00), REVEL is 0.352, and BayesDel is -0.0703764.
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 | GATA2 loss of function is an established disease mechanism, but this variant is a missense substitution rather than a nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1/2 splice variant, so the generic PVS1 framework does not apply. |
pvs1_gene_context
pvs1_variant_assessment
|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No alternate nucleotide change producing the same p.Ala286Pro amino acid substitution was identified from the available evidence, so PS1 was not applied. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No confirmed de novo occurrence with parental relationship confirmation was identified for this variant, so PS2 was not applied. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study showing a damaging effect for p.Ala286Pro was identified in the available evidence, so PS3 was not applied. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | The available evidence does not provide a case-control enrichment analysis or sufficient independent affected-case count for this variant, so PS4 was not applied. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | Available hotspot review did not identify codon 286 as a statistically significant hotspot, so there is insufficient evidence that this variant lies in a well-established critical region without benign variation. |
hotspots
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and present only once in gnomAD v4.1 (AF 6.19681e-07; 1/1613734 alleles; highest subpopulation AF 8.47469e-07), which is far below the 0.1% rarity threshold and supports rarity in population databases. |

|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 is intended for recessive disorders with pathogenic variants observed in trans, and the available evidence does not support use of a recessive framework for this GATA2 assessment. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| PM4 | N/A | This variant is a missense substitution and does not cause a protein length change or in-frame insertion/deletion, so PM4 does not apply. |
|
| PM5 | N/A | The available PM5 review could not safely confirm that classic same-residue PM5 logic should be used for this case, and no validated same-residue pathogenic comparator was established, so PM5 was not applied. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence without full parental confirmation was identified for this variant, so PM6 was not applied. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified for this variant, so PP1 was not applied. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Available evidence does not establish a gene-level missense-specific constraint or a validated missense-prone mechanism at this residue sufficient to apply PP2. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Computational evidence is not strong enough to support a damaging prediction. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.00), REVEL is 0.352, and BayesDel is -0.0703764, so the available in silico results do not meet a strong deleterious threshold for PP3. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | No patient phenotype, laboratory phenotype, or disease-specific clinical presentation data were provided for this variant, so PP4 was not applied. |
|
| PP5 | Not assessed | Although this variant is present in ClinVar, the available record does not provide an independent reputable-source assertion that can be used here for PP5. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | The observed population frequency is far below the 1% benign stand-alone threshold. In gnomAD v4.1 the total AF is 6.19681e-07, so BA1 is not met. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | The observed population frequency is far below the 0.3% threshold typically used for BS1. In gnomAD v4.1 the total AF is 6.19681e-07, so BS1 is not met. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified showing this variant in well-phenotyped healthy adult individuals at a level sufficient for BS2. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study showing normal protein function for p.Ala286Pro was identified, so BS3 was not applied. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data were identified for this variant, so BS4 was not applied. |
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Available evidence is insufficient to conclude that missense variation in GATA2 is consistently less likely to be disease-causing than truncating variation, so BP1 was not applied. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase data or second-variant data were identified for this case, so BP2 was not applied. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | This variant is not an in-frame insertion/deletion in a repetitive region, so BP3 does not apply. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Computational evidence does not provide sufficiently strong benign support. SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect, but REVEL at 0.352 and BayesDel at -0.0703764 do not establish a clearly benign missense profile, so BP4 was not applied. |

|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No alternate molecular diagnosis or independent cause for the phenotype was provided, so BP5 was not applied. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | The available evidence does not provide an independent reputable-source benign classification that can be used here for BP6. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | This is a missense variant rather than a synonymous or intronic variant without predicted splice impact, so BP7 does not apply. |
