Classification rationale
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. |

|
| 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

|
| 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. |

|
| BA1 | Not met | The variant frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (MAF=0.00013%) is far below the BA1 threshold of >1%. |

|
| 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. |
