PM2_Supporting is met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (0/1,614,568 alleles) and gnomAD v2.1, meeting the VCEP threshold of allele frequency <0.00002.1 PP3_Moderate is met: the HCI prior probability of pathogenicity for c.3412G>A (p.G1138R) is 0.9617, exceeding the VCEP PP3_Moderate threshold of >0.81. REVEL score is 0.947, consistent with a deleterious prediction.2 PVS1 is not applicable: this is a missense variant (p.Gly1138Arg), not a null variant, and SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta = 0.01).3 PS3 is not met: no calibrated functional assay data exists for p.Gly1138Arg in the VCEP functional assay documentation or published literature.4 PS1, PS2, PM5, PP1, PP4, BA1, BS1, BS2, BS3, BS4, BP4, BP5 are not met due to absence of supporting evidence.5 PS4, PS5, PM1, PM6, PP2, PP5, BP1, BP2, BP3, BP6, BP7, PM3, PM4 are not applicable per the InSiGHT MMR VCEP v2.0.0 specifications or because the variant class does not meet the criterion definition.6

PM2_Supporting is met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (0/1,614,568 alleles) and gnomAD v2.1, meeting the VCEP threshold of allele frequency <0.00002.
ClinGen InSiGHT Hereditary Colorectal Cancer/Polyposis Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for MSH6 Version 2.0.0 v2.0.0 criteria-combination framework was evaluated deterministically with applied criteria: PM2 supporting, PP3 moderate; no rule matched the adjudicated criteria.

ClinVar
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (2 clinical laboratories). (ClinVarID = 650516)
In silico
SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.01). REVEL score = 0.947. BayesDel score = 0.451433. HCI prior probability for pathogenicity = 0.9617. MAPP score = 36.52. Custom PP2 score = 0.999.
Functional
Unknown Oncogenic Effect
OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. MSH6, a DNA mismatch repair protein, is frequently mutated in colorectal, small bowel, and endometrial cancers.
