Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_053056.3:c.838G>T (NP_444284.1:p.Glu280Ter) is a nonsense variant in the last exon (exon 5/5) of CCND1, predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay and produce a truncated protein lacking the terminal 10 amino acids.
2
The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 population databases, meeting PM2 at supporting strength.
3
The variant is absent from ClinVar with no prior germline classifications available.
4
The variant has been reported somatically in COSMIC (COSV99919608, n=3) and is classified as Likely Oncogenic by OncoKB with a gain-of-function context, but no variant-specific functional studies or germline case reports are available.
5
SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta score 0.00) and BayesDel score of 0.60222 provides borderline in silico evidence, insufficient to meet PP3 or BP4.
6
Four CCND1 functional domain papers were reviewed (PMID:16732330, PMID:17299095, PMID:9832503, PMID:9926916); none examined the specific variant p.Glu280Ter, and thus none provide criterion-level evidence for this variant.
7
PVS1 is not applicable because the nonsense variant in the last exon is predicted to escape NMD, and C-terminal truncations in CCND1 are associated with gain-of-function rather than loss-of-function. No other pathogenic or benign criteria were met, resulting in insufficient evidence for definitive classification under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 rules.
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 | This nonsense variant (p.Glu280Ter) is in the last exon (exon 5/5) at codon 280 of 290 and is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay per PMC6185798. The truncated protein retains the cyclin box and CDK4-binding domain while losing only 10 C-terminal amino acids. CCND1 is an oncogene where C-terminal truncations that remove the T286 degron are associated with protein stabilization and gain-of-function rather than loss-of-function; therefore PVS1 is not applicable for this variant. |
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | Not met | No nucleotide change at the same position has been previously established as pathogenic. This variant is absent from ClinVar and no published literature reports a pathogenic variant at c.838 in CCND1. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo occurrence of NM_053056.3:c.838G>T has been reported in a patient with a CCND1-related phenotype, and no trio sequencing studies have identified this variant as de novo. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No well-established functional studies have been performed on the specific variant CCND1 p.Glu280Ter. Four CCND1 functional papers were reviewed (PMID:16732330, PMID:17299095, PMID:9832503, PMID:9926916) but none examined this exact variant. OncoKB curation suggests a gain-of-function mechanism for C-terminal CCND1 truncations but does not provide variant-specific functional evidence suitable for PS3. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control study comparing the frequency of c.838G>T in affected versus unaffected individuals is available. The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, precluding an odds ratio calculation. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PS5 | Not met | No reputable source has previously classified this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar, and no diagnostic laboratory has reported it as causative. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | The variant is not located within a statistically significant mutational hotspot per Cancer Hotspots analysis. Although residue E280 lies in the C-terminal regulatory domain of CCND1 near the T286 phosphorylation site, there is no established germline mutational hotspot at this region. |
|
| PM2 | Met | The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 population databases, meeting the generic ACMG PM2 threshold of allele frequency below 0.1%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM5 | N/A | PM5 is defined for novel missense variants at a residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been observed. NM_053056.3:c.838G>T is a nonsense variant, not a missense variant, so PM5 is not applicable. |
|
| PM6 | Not met | No assumed de novo occurrence of c.838G>T has been reported in the literature without confirmation of paternity and maternity. No publications describe this variant in a de novo context. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No cosegregation data are available for c.838G>T with a CCND1-associated disease in multiple affected family members. No familial studies have reported this variant. |
|
| PP2 | N/A | PP2 applies to missense variants in genes with a low rate of benign missense variation. NM_053056.3:c.838G>T is a nonsense (stop-gain) variant, not a missense variant, so PP2 is not applicable. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Multiple lines of computational evidence do not support a deleterious effect. SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta score 0.00). BayesDel score is 0.60222, which is in a borderline range and does not provide strong evidence of pathogenicity. REVEL score is unavailable. As a nonsense variant in the last exon, PP3 is also not typically applied separately from PVS1 to avoid double-counting. |
spliceai
bayesdel
|
| PP4 | Not met | No specific phenotype or family history data are available for the proband carrying this variant. PP4 requires a phenotype highly specific for the gene or disease, which cannot be assessed without clinical information. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has definitively classified this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar, and no diagnostic laboratory report is available. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, with an allele frequency of 0%, which does not meet the BA1 threshold of >1%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, with an allele frequency of 0%, which does not meet the BS1 threshold of >0.3%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not met | No evidence that this variant has been observed in healthy adults at sufficient frequency to be considered benign. The variant is absent from gnomAD population databases. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established functional studies demonstrate that CCND1 p.Glu280Ter has no damaging effect. The four CCND1 functional studies reviewed (PMID:16732330, PMID:17299095, PMID:9832503, PMID:9926916) do not examine this specific variant and cannot provide BS3 support. |
|
| BS4 | Not met | No lack of cosegregation data are available. No studies have tracked this variant in families to demonstrate that it does not segregate with disease. |
|
| BP1 | N/A | BP1 applies to missense variants in genes where primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease. NM_053056.3:c.838G>T is a nonsense variant, not a missense variant, so BP1 is not applicable. |
|
| BP2 | Not met | No observation of CCND1 c.838G>T in trans with a known pathogenic variant in a different gene for a dominantly inherited disorder has been reported. CCND1 is not typically included on multi-gene panels for well-characterized dominant disorders. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Multiple lines of computational evidence do not provide a strong benign signal. SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta 0.00), but BayesDel score of 0.60222 is in an intermediate range and does not independently support a benign interpretation. For a nonsense variant, BP4 is of limited applicability. |
spliceai
bayesdel
|
| BP5 | Not met | No case has been reported where this variant is found in a patient with an alternate molecular basis for disease. Insufficient clinical data are available to apply BP5. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | No reputable source has classified this variant as benign. The variant is absent from ClinVar, and no diagnostic laboratory has reported a benign interpretation. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. NM_053056.3:c.838G>T is a nonsense (stop-gain) variant, not a synonymous variant, so BP7 is not applicable. |
