STK11

NM_000455.4:c.539_571delinsTGGTAGGGTGGCACCTC is a frameshift variant predicted to cause p.(Gly180ValfsTer102) with a premature termination codon at residue 281, expected to trigger nonsense-mediated decay. Loss of function is an established disease mechanism for STK11 in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.

Basis gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PVS1 very strong, PM2 supporting; combination = 1 very strong + 1 supporting, which maps to VUS.

STK11 c.539_571delinsTGGTAGGGTGGCACCTC

NM_000455.4:c.539_571delinsTGGTAGGGTGGCACCTC is a frameshift variant predicted to cause p.(Gly180ValfsTer102) with a premature termination codon at residue 281, expected to trigger nonsense-mediated decay. Loss of function is an established disease mechanism for STK11 in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.1 The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada population databases, supporting its rarity in the general population.2 The variant is absent from ClinVar and has not been reported in affected individuals, in somatic cancer databases (COSMIC), or in any of the five gene-level functional publications reviewed.3 No variant-specific functional studies, segregation data, de novo observations, or case-control data were identified. Five publications retrieved via OncoKB discuss STK11 function at the gene level but none include NM_000455.4:c.539_571delinsTGGTAGGGTGGCACCTC. Under the ClinGen SVI PVS1 decision framework (PMC6185798), a frameshift variant upstream of the last exon in a gene with an established loss-of-function disease mechanism qualifies for PVS1 at full strength.4
