Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_033632.3:c.1697G>T (p.Trp566Leu) is a missense variant in exon 11 of FBXW7, a gene in which germline loss-of-function variants cause a neurodevelopmental syndrome with Wilms tumor predisposition.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, meeting the PM2 criterion at supporting strength.
3
In silico prediction with REVEL yields a score of 0.863, supporting a deleterious effect and meeting PP3 at supporting strength.
4
SpliceAI predicts no significant splicing impact (max delta score 0.12).
5
This variant has been reported in somatic cancers (COSMIC COSV99662097, n=2) but has not been observed in ClinVar or any germline disease cohort.
6
With only two supporting pathogenic criteria (PM2_Supporting, PP3_Supporting), this variant does not meet the threshold for Likely Pathogenic classification under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules.
7
This variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS).
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 | NM_033632.3:c.1697G>T is a missense variant (p.Trp566Leu) that does not fall into any generic PVS1 null-variant bucket (nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice consensus variants) per ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations (PMC6185798). |
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | Not assessed | No previously classified pathogenic missense variant at the same amino acid position (Trp566) was identified in ClinVar or literature; insufficient evidence to assess PS1. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | No de novo data (paternity and maternity confirmed) available for this variant; insufficient evidence to assess PS2. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional studies demonstrating a deleterious effect specific to p.Trp566Leu were identified. OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect; no variant-specific functional evidence found in literature. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | No case-control or cohort prevalence data available for this variant; insufficient evidence to assess PS4. |
|
| PS5 | Not assessed | No alternative pathogenic variant at the same nucleotide position has been established; no comparator data available. |
|
| PM1 | Not met | Residue Trp566 is not located in a statistically significant mutational hotspot per cancerhotspots.org. Without a VCEP-defined critical functional domain for FBXW7, PM1 cannot be applied at the residue level. |
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes), gnomAD v4.1 (exomes/genomes), and gnomAD-Canada v1.0, meeting the non-VCEP PM2 threshold of <0.1% allele frequency. |

|
| PM5 | N/A | No candidate comparator missense variants at residue Trp566 with a confirmed pathogenic classification were identified; automatic PM5 candidate harvesting was unable to find eligible comparators. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | No de novo observation (with or without confirmed parentage) was identified for this variant; insufficient evidence to assess PM6. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | No cosegregation data available for this variant; insufficient evidence to assess PP1. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | No HCI prior probability or missense constraint (z-score) data available for FBXW7. While missense variants are a known germline disease mechanism in this gene, constraint metrics are needed to apply PP2. |
|
| PP3 | Met | REVEL in silico predictor yields a score of 0.863, supporting a deleterious effect. SpliceAI shows no significant splice impact (max delta 0.12). BayesDel score of 0.424 is below the typical deleterious threshold, providing only one clear line of computational evidence. |

| BS2 | Not assessed | No data on observation of this variant in healthy adults with full penetrance expected at an early age; insufficient evidence to assess BS2. |
|
| BS3 | Not assessed | No well-established functional studies showing no deleterious effect for this variant are available; insufficient evidence to assess BS3. |
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | No non-segregation data available for this variant; insufficient evidence to assess BS4. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | Missense variants are a recognized mechanism of germline disease in FBXW7; pathogenic FBXW7 germline variants include missense, frameshift, and splice-site changes. BP1 is not applicable when missense variants are an established disease mechanism. |

|
| BP2 | Not assessed | No observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic dominant variant; insufficient evidence to assess BP2. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame deletions/insertions in repetitive regions; this variant is a substitution. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | REVEL score of 0.863 predicts a deleterious effect; computational evidence does not support a benign interpretation. |

| BP5 | Not assessed | No observation of this variant in a case with an alternative molecular basis for disease; insufficient evidence to assess BP5. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | No reputable source (ClinVar, expert panel) has classified this variant as benign; insufficient evidence to assess BP6. |

| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact; this variant is a missense substitution (c.1697G>T, p.Trp566Leu). |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders with a pathogenic variant in trans; FBXW7-associated disease follows autosomal dominant inheritance. |
