Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_001238.4:c.254G>A (p.Arg85Gln) is a missense variant in CCNE1.
2
This variant is present at extremely low frequency in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 AF=0.0064% (16/251,482 alleles), gnomAD v4.1 AF=0.0040% (65/1,614,002 alleles), with no homozygotes observed. The maximum subpopulation frequency is 0.051% in the South Asian population. These frequencies meet the PM2 threshold (<0.1%).
3
Multiple in silico prediction tools concordantly support a benign interpretation: REVEL score 0.031 (benign range), BayesDel score -0.586 (predicts benign), and SpliceAI max delta 0.00 (no predicted splicing impact). These findings meet the BP4 threshold (multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact).
4
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance by a single clinical laboratory (Ambry Genetics; criteria provided, single submitter). No expert panel review or pathogenic assertion is available.
5
No variant-specific functional studies, de novo observations, segregation data, or case-control evidence are available.
6
Applying the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules (PMID:25741868): PM2 (supporting) is balanced by BP4 (supporting). Neither a pathogenic combination (requiring ≥2 supporting or ≥1 moderate + ≥1 supporting) nor a benign/likely benign combination (requiring ≥2 supporting benign or ≥1 strong benign + ≥1 supporting benign) is satisfied.
7
Overall classification: Uncertain significance.
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 assessment
ACMG/AMP criteria review
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 is reserved for null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1,2 splice sites). NM_001238.4:c.254G>A is a missense variant (p.Arg85Gln) and does not fall into any PVS1 null-variant bucket per the ClinGen SVI PVS1 framework (PMC6185798). |
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | Not met | No established pathogenic variant causing the same amino acid change (p.Arg85Gln / R85Q) has been identified in ClinVar or the literature. The single ClinVar submission classifies this variant as Uncertain significance. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo occurrence data are available for this variant. PS2 requires confirmation of both maternity and paternity in a de novo observation. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrating a deleterious effect of p.Arg85Gln have been identified. OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect with no variant-specific functional evidence. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control or cohort data demonstrating statistically increased prevalence of this variant in affected individuals versus controls are available. |
|
| PS5 | N/A | PS5 is not a criterion in the standard ACMG/AMP 2015 sequence variant interpretation framework (PMID:25741868). No VCEP-specific extension defines PS5 for this gene. |
|
| PM1 | Not met | Residue 85 does not lie within a known mutational hotspot or a critical functional domain where pathogenic missense variants cluster and benign variation is absent. Systematic hotspot analysis found no statistically significant enrichment at this residue. |
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is present at extremely low frequency in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 AF=6.36×10⁻⁵ (16/251,482 alleles), gnomAD v4.1 AF=4.03×10⁻⁵ (65/1,614,002 alleles), gnomAD-Canada AF=1.09×10⁻⁴ (2/18,412 alleles). Global allele frequency and grpmax FAF (0.000389) are well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. No homozygotes observed. |

|
| PM5 | Not met | No pathogenic missense variant has been established at the same residue (Arg85). Automated PM5 candidate harvesting was unable to identify any same-residue comparator variants with pathogenic classification. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo observation of this variant has been reported. PM6 requires a de novo finding without confirmation of paternity and maternity. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No cosegregation data are available for this variant in affected families. |
|
| PP2 | Not met | CCNE1 is not established as a gene in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease with a low rate of benign missense variation. No gene-level missense constraint metric supports PP2 application. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Multiple in silico prediction tools support a benign interpretation: REVEL score 0.031 (strongly predicts benign; threshold >0.5 for pathogenic), BayesDel score -0.586 (negative, predicts benign), SpliceAI max delta 0.00 (no splicing impact). Computational evidence does not support a deleterious effect. |

| PP4 | Not met | No patient phenotype information is available to assess whether this variant occurs in a patient with a phenotype highly specific for CCNE1-related disease. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as pathogenic. The single ClinVar submission classifies it as Uncertain significance (Ambry Genetics, criteria provided single submitter). |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Global allele frequency (gnomAD v4.1: 0.0040%; v2.1: 0.0064%) is far below the 1% BA1 threshold. Maximum subpopulation frequency (South Asian: 0.051%) also remains well below 1%. |

|
| BS1 | Not met | Global allele frequency (0.0040-0.0064%) and maximum subpopulation frequency (South Asian: 0.051%) are below the 0.3% BS1 threshold. The variant is not common enough in population databases to support a benign interpretation via BS1. |

|
| BS2 | Not met | No specific observation of this variant in a healthy adult individual for a fully penetrant disorder has been documented. While gnomAD includes generally healthy individuals, BS2 requires explicit evidence of the variant in a healthy individual with full penetrance expected at an early age. |
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrating no deleterious effect of p.Arg85Gln have been identified. In silico predictions alone do not satisfy BS3. |
|
| BS4 | Not met | No segregation data demonstrating lack of segregation with disease are available. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | CCNE1 is not established as a gene in which only truncating (loss-of-function) variants cause disease. BP1 requires that the disease mechanism for the gene is exclusively through truncating variants, which has not been demonstrated for CCNE1. |
|
| BP2 | Not met | No observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic variant in CCNE1 has been reported. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame deletions/insertions in repetitive regions. This is a single-nucleotide missense substitution. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Multiple lines of computational evidence support a benign interpretation. REVEL score 0.031 is strongly in the benign range (threshold >0.5 for pathogenic), BayesDel score -0.586 is negative (predicts benign), and SpliceAI max delta score is 0.00 (no predicted splicing impact). These concordant predictions suggest the variant has no deleterious effect on the gene product. |

|
| BP5 | Not met | No case has been identified in which this variant is found in a patient with an alternate molecular basis for disease. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as benign. The single ClinVar submission classifies it as Uncertain significance. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 is reserved for synonymous (silent) variants with no predicted splice impact and low nucleotide conservation. NM_001238.4:c.254G>A is a missense variant (p.Arg85Gln), not synonymous. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders where a variant is observed in trans with a pathogenic variant. This is a single heterozygous missense substitution without phasing data for a gene without established recessive inheritance. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants. This is a single-nucleotide missense substitution causing an amino acid change without altering protein length. |
