Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
The FH c.1366G>T (p.Val456Leu) variant has been reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance by one clinical laboratory.
2
This variant is rare in population databases, with gnomAD v2.1 AF 0.00318% (1/31,398 alleles) and gnomAD v4.1 AF 0.00019% (3/1,614,014 alleles), which are both below the 0.1% PM2 threshold and well below the BS1 and BA1 frequency thresholds.
3
Computational evidence supports a deleterious missense effect, with REVEL 0.913 and BayesDel 0.286106, while SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score 0.00).
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 shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | N/A | FH loss of function is an established disease mechanism, but this variant is a missense change, NM_000143.4:c.1366G>T (p.Val456Leu), and does not fall into the generic PVS1 null-variant categories of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1,2 splice variants. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No established pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant producing the same amino acid change was identified in the available evidence. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No de novo occurrence with confirmed maternity and paternity was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study demonstrating a damaging effect of this specific variant was identified. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | This variant has been reported in ClinVar, but no case-control or clear affected-versus-control enrichment data were identified to show increased prevalence in affected individuals. |

|
| PM1 | Not met | Available evidence does not support this residue as a mutational hotspot or other well-established critical region without benign variation; Cancer Hotspots did not identify a statistically significant hotspot at codon 456. |

|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is rare in population databases, with gnomAD v2.1 AF 3.18492e-05 (0.00318%, 1/31,398 alleles) and gnomAD v4.1 AF 1.85872e-06 (0.00019%, 3/1,614,014 alleles), both below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified that this variant was observed in trans with a pathogenic variant in a recessive disease context. |
clinvar
|
| PM4 | N/A | This is a missense substitution and does not change protein length, so PM4 is not applicable. |
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | No confirmed pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense comparator at the same residue was available for use, so PM5 was not applied. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No assumed de novo occurrence without full parental confirmation was identified for this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No segregation data were identified showing this variant tracking with disease in affected relatives. |
clinvar
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Available evidence did not establish a gene-specific disease mechanism pattern that would support PP2 for this missense variant. |
|
| PP3 | Met | Computational evidence supports a deleterious protein effect for this missense change, with REVEL 0.913 and BayesDel 0.286106, while SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.00). Overall, the in silico results support pathogenicity through a missense mechanism rather than a splicing mechanism. |

| PP4 | Not assessed | No case-level phenotype data were identified showing a clinical presentation highly specific for an FH-related disorder in an individual carrying this variant. |
clinvar
|
| PP5 | N/A | Assertion-only classification evidence was not used for PP5. ClinVar contains a single submitter classification of uncertain significance, which does not support pathogenic assertion-based weighting. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Population frequency does not meet the BA1 threshold. The highest observed population frequency was 0.02877% in gnomAD v2.1 Finnish and 0.00469% in gnomAD v4.1 Finnish, both well below the 1% BA1 threshold. |

| BS1 | Not met | Population frequency does not meet the BS1 threshold. The highest observed population frequency was 0.02877% in gnomAD v2.1 Finnish and 0.00469% in gnomAD v4.1 Finnish, both below the 0.3% BS1 threshold. |

| BS2 | Not assessed | Available population data do not show this variant in a number of healthy individuals sufficient to support BS2; no homozygotes were reported in gnomAD. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional study demonstrating normal function of this specific variant was identified. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data were identified showing that this variant fails to track with disease in informative families. |
clinvar
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Available evidence did not establish a gene-specific pattern showing that benign interpretation is favored for missense variants in FH. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No phase data were identified showing this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant disorder, or in cis with a pathogenic variant in a manner supporting BP2. |
clinvar
|
| BP3 | N/A | This is not an in-frame insertion or deletion in a repetitive region, so BP3 is not applicable. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Available computational evidence does not support a benign effect. REVEL 0.913 and BayesDel 0.286106 support a damaging missense effect, although SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta score 0.00). |

|
| BP5 | Not assessed | No evidence was identified for an alternate molecular cause that would explain the phenotype independently of this variant. |
|
| BP6 | N/A | Assertion-only benign classification evidence was not used for BP6, and no reputable benign classification without available supporting evidence was identified. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | This is a missense variant rather than a synonymous or deep intronic change, so BP7 is not applicable. |
