Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_001904.4:c.269G>A (p.Arg90Gln) is at extremely low frequency in population databases: absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada with 1 allele out of 1,613,962 in gnomAD v4.1 (AF 0.000062%), meeting PM2 at moderate strength.
2
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance by a single clinical laboratory (VariationID 1378784).
3
In silico predictors are equivocal (REVEL 0.455, BayesDel 0.221, SpliceAI delta 0.0) and do not meet thresholds for PP3 or BP4.
4
This variant has been observed in somatic cancers (COSMIC COSV62707932, n = 2); no germline functional evidence is available.
5
No de novo, segregation, case-control, or functional data are available for this variant. Multiple criteria remain unassessed.
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 | PVS1 applies to null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical splice). NM_001904.4:c.269G>A is a missense variant (p.Arg90Gln) and does not fall into any null-variant bucket per ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations (PMC6185798). |
pvs1_generic_framework
pvs1_variant_assessment
|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No established pathogenic missense variant at the same amino acid residue (Arg90) is available for comparison. Same-residue comparator search returned no candidates. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity is available for this variant. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect of NM_001904.4:c.269G>A (p.Arg90Gln). OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect with no variant-specific reviewed functional evidence. No published functional data were identified. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | Prevalence in affected individuals versus controls has not been established. A single ClinVar submission (Labcorp/Invitae, VUS) is insufficient for case-control assessment. |
clinvar
|
| PS5 | Not met | No reputable source has classified this variant as pathogenic. ClinVar reports Uncertain significance from a single submitter. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | This variant does not lie in a statistically significant mutational hotspot. Residue Arg90 is not identified as a recurrently mutated position in CTNNB1. |
|
| PM2 | Met | NM_001904.4:c.269G>A is at extremely low frequency in population databases: absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada; 1 allele out of 1,613,962 in gnomAD v4.1 (AF = 6.2e-7, 0.000062%), well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. No homozygotes observed. |

| PM5 | N/A | No established pathogenic missense variant at the same amino acid residue (Arg90) has been identified. PM5 candidate harvesting returned zero comparators. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No de novo observation (without confirmation of maternity/paternity) is available for this variant. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No co-segregation data with disease in multiple affected family members is available. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Insufficient data to assess whether CTNNB1 has a low rate of benign missense variation (e.g., gnomAD missense Z-score or constraint metric not available in this case). While missense variants in CTNNB1 are a known disease mechanism in CTNNB1 syndrome, formal constraint metrics are absent. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | In silico predictors do not reach damaging thresholds: REVEL score 0.455 is below the 0.5 threshold, BayesDel score 0.221 is below the 0.27 threshold, and SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta = 0.0). No multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect. |

| PP4 | Not assessed | No patient phenotype or family history data are available to assess phenotypic specificity for CTNNB1 syndrome. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has classified this variant as pathogenic. The sole ClinVar submission (Labcorp/Invitae) classifies it as Uncertain significance. |

| BA1 | Not met | Allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 6.2e-7 (0.000062%), far below the 1% BA1 threshold. |

| BS1 | Not met | Allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 6.2e-7 (0.000062%), far below the 0.3% BS1 threshold. |

|
| BS2 | Not assessed | No data available regarding observation of this variant in healthy adults where full penetrance of CTNNB1 syndrome would be expected at an early age. |
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional studies demonstrate no damaging effect of this variant. OncoKB reports no variant-specific functional evidence. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data with disease phenotype in multiple affected family members is available. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | BP1 applies when primarily truncating variants cause disease in a gene. In CTNNB1, missense variants are a well-established disease mechanism — both missense and truncating variants cause CTNNB1 syndrome (PMIDs 33350591, 36083290). |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No data available regarding observation in trans with a known pathogenic CTNNB1 variant. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Multiple lines of computational evidence do not consistently suggest no impact on the gene product. SpliceAI predicts no splice effect (delta = 0.0), but REVEL is borderline (0.455, just below 0.5) and BayesDel (0.221) does not clearly support benign impact. The evidence is equivocal. |

| BP5 | Not assessed | No data available regarding a case with an alternative molecular cause for disease. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | No reputable source has classified this variant as benign. ClinVar reports Uncertain significance. |

|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. NM_001904.4:c.269G>A is a missense variant (p.Arg90Gln), not synonymous. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame deletions or insertions in non-repeat regions. This variant is a single-nucleotide missense substitution. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders. CTNNB1 syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to protein-length-altering variants (in-frame indels, stop-loss). This variant is a single-nucleotide missense substitution. |
