Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_002392.5:c.918+1G>C is a canonical +1 splice donor variant in intron 10 of MDM2, predicted to abolish the native splice donor site (SpliceAI DS_DL=0.99). PVS1 is applied at very strong strength under the ClinGen SVI generic PVS1 framework (PMC6185798), as MDM2 germline loss-of-function is supported as a disease mechanism.
2
The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, absent from gnomAD-Canada, and extremely rare in gnomAD v4.1 (2/1,595,872 alleles, MAF=0.00013%), meeting PM2 at moderate strength.
3
No other pathogenic or benign criteria were met. The variant is absent from ClinVar, has no published functional studies, no case-control data, and no reported de novo or segregation evidence.
4
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final classification rules (Richards et al., PMID:25741868): one Very Strong criterion (PVS1) plus one Moderate criterion (PM2) yields a classification of Likely Pathogenic.
Final determination: Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback rules support a Likely Pathogenic classification based on the observed combination of pathogenic criteria.

Criterion Status Rationale Evidence used
PVS1 Met NM_002392.5:c.918+1G>C is a canonical +1 splice donor variant in intron 10 of MDM2. SpliceAI predicts loss of the native donor (DS_DL=0.99) and activation of a cryptic acceptor (DS_AL=0.99), consistent with aberrant splicing. MDM2 germline loss-of-function is supported as a disease mechanism per ClinGen SVI PVS1 gene-level review (PMC6185798). Under the generic PVS1 decision framework, canonical splice variants in genes with established LoF disease mechanism receive full PVS1 strength.

PS1 N/A PS1 applies when a different nucleotide change at the same position has been established as pathogenic. This is a splice site variant with no applicable same-position comparator.
PS2 Not met No de novo occurrence of NM_002392.5:c.918+1G>C has been reported in any patient with a consistent phenotype.
PS3 Not met No functional assays (minigene splicing, RNA analysis, or protein studies) have been performed for this variant.
PS4 Not met No case-control studies have demonstrated statistically significant enrichment of this variant in affected individuals. The variant is extremely rare in population databases (gnomAD v4.1 AF=1.25e-6) and absent from ClinVar, precluding statistical comparison.
gnomad_v4
PS5 N/A No ClinVar submissions exist for this variant; PS5 requires a reputable source to have classified the variant as pathogenic.
PM1 Not met No evidence that this splice junction constitutes a recognized mutational hotspot or critical functional domain in MDM2. PM1 under generic ACMG/AMP is applied to protein-level domain hotspots, not splice consensus sequences, and no VCEP has designated this region as a hotspot.
PM2 Met This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and extremely rare in gnomAD v4.1 (2/1,595,872 alleles; MAF=0.00013%), well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. It is also absent from gnomAD-Canada.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
PM5 N/A PM5 requires a different pathogenic missense change at the same amino acid residue. This is a canonical splice site variant with no applicable amino acid residue context; PM5 semantics cannot be applied.
PM6 Not met No de novo event (without confirmation of paternity and maternity) has been reported for this variant.
PP1 Not met No co-segregation data are available for this variant in affected families.
PP2 N/A PP2 applies exclusively to missense variants in genes with a low rate of benign missense variation. This is a canonical splice site variant, not a missense variant.
PP3 Not met Per ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations (PMC6185798), in silico splice prediction evidence should not be double-counted when PVS1 is applied for the same splice-effect mechanism. SpliceAI max delta=0.99 strongly predicts aberrant splicing, but this evidence is already captured by PVS1. BayesDel score (-0.069) is neutral and does not independently support pathogenicity.

PP4 Not met No patient phenotype data are available to assess phenotype specificity for this variant.
PP5 Not met No reputable source (ClinVar expert panel or clinical diagnostic laboratory) has classified this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar.
clinvar
BA1 Not met The variant frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (MAF=0.00013%) is far below the BA1 threshold of >1%.
gnomad_v4
BS1 Not met The variant frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (MAF=0.00013%) is far below the BS1 threshold of >0.3%.
gnomad_v4
BS2 Not met No evidence that this variant has been observed in healthy adults with complete penetrance data. The two gnomAD v4.1 observations are population-based and lack accompanying individual phenotype information.
BS3 Not met No functional studies demonstrating normal splicing or protein function have been performed for this variant.
BS4 Not met No family studies demonstrating lack of co-segregation with disease are available for this variant.
BP1 N/A BP1 applies to missense variants in genes where a truncating mechanism is the primary cause of disease. This is a canonical splice site variant, not a missense variant.
BP2 Not met No observation of this variant in cis with a known pathogenic MDM2 variant has been reported.
BP4 Not met SpliceAI predicts a deleterious splice effect (max delta=0.99, DS_DL=0.99, DS_AL=0.99), which is inconsistent with a benign interpretation. BayesDel (-0.069) alone is insufficient to support BP4 when a splice-specific predictor strongly indicates aberrant splicing for a splice variant.

BP5 Not met No case has been identified in which this variant is found in an individual with an alternate molecular cause for disease.
BP6 Not met No reputable source has classified this variant as benign. The variant is absent from ClinVar.
clinvar
BP7 N/A BP7 applies to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. This is a canonical +1 splice donor variant predicted to alter splicing, not a synonymous variant.
