Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
This variant is essentially absent from population databases, with a single heterozygous observation in gnomAD v4.1 (1/1,613,826 alleles; AF = 6.2×10⁻⁷) and no observations in gnomAD v2.1 or gnomAD-Canada, satisfying PM2 at supporting strength.
2
No pathogenic or benign classifications exist in ClinVar. No functional studies, segregation data, de novo observations, or variant-specific publications are available. In silico predictors are conflicting (REVEL 0.638 suggesting possible deleterious effect; BayesDel 0.209 in benign range; SpliceAI delta 0.01).
3
With only one supporting pathogenic criterion (PM2_supporting) met and no benign criteria met, the variant does not reach the threshold for likely pathogenic, likely benign, or benign classification under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules. The 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 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame insertions/deletions only; this is a missense substitution. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders requiring a second pathogenic variant in trans; CDK6 is not established as a recessive disease gene and no second variant data is available. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to protein length changes (stop-loss, in-frame insertions/deletions); this is a missense substitution. |
|
| PVS1 | N/A | PVS1 is reserved for null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1,2 splice consensus). NM_001259.8:c.401A>G is a missense variant (p.Asp134Gly) and does not fall into any PVS1 decision tree bucket per the ClinGen SVI PVS1 framework (PMC6185798). |

|
| PS1 | Not met | No pathogenic variant at the same amino acid position (Asp134) with the same amino acid change has been identified in ClinVar or the literature. The variant is absent from ClinVar. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity is available for this variant. No publications report de novo occurrence of CDK6 c.401A>G. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrating a damaging effect are available for this variant. OncoKB classifies it as 'Unknown Oncogenic Effect' with no variant-specific functional evidence. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control or cohort data comparing variant prevalence in affected versus unaffected individuals is available. The variant is observed in only 1 of 1,613,826 alleles in gnomAD v4.1 with no disease-specific prevalence data. |
gnomad_v4
|
| PS5 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar; no submitter classification exists. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | The variant does not lie in a statistically significant mutational hotspot (CancerHotspots.org). Although residue Asp134 is located within the CDK6 protein kinase domain, there is no domain-specific constraint data demonstrating a critical functional domain with low benign variation sufficient for PM1 application under generic ACMG. |
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is essentially absent from population databases. It is absent from gnomAD v2.1, absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0, and present at extremely low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (1/1,613,826 alleles; AF = 6.2×10⁻⁷), with the sole observation in the Finnish subpopulation (1/64,022; AF = 1.56×10⁻⁵). All frequencies are well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold for non-VCEP assessment. |

| PM5 | N/A | No pathogenic missense variant at the same amino acid residue (Asp134) has been identified in ClinVar or the literature. PM5 candidate harvesting returned zero same-residue comparators. |

|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo observation without paternity/maternity confirmation is available for this variant. No publications report de novo occurrence of CDK6 c.401A>G. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No cosegregation data in affected families is available for this variant. |
|
| PP2 | Not met | While CDK6 has a supported loss-of-function disease mechanism per targeted germline literature review, no missense constraint metric (e.g., missense Z-score, missense pLI) is available to demonstrate a low rate of benign missense variation. HCI prior probability is not available for CDK6. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Multiple lines of computational evidence do not consistently support a deleterious effect. REVEL score is 0.638 (moderate, above 0.5 threshold), but BayesDel score is 0.209 (benign range, below 0.25 threshold), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta = 0.01). The in silico evidence is conflicting rather than uniformly deleterious. |

| PP4 | Not met | No patient phenotype or family history data is available to assess phenotypic specificity for CDK6-related disease. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | The variant's allele frequency is far below the BA1 threshold. The highest observed population frequency is 1.56×10⁻⁵ (Finnish subpopulation, gnomAD v4.1), well below the 1% BA1 threshold. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | The variant's allele frequency is far below the BS1 threshold. The overall gnomAD v4.1 frequency is 6.2×10⁻⁷ (1/1,613,826 alleles), far below the 0.3% BS1 threshold for disorders with expected low population prevalence. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not met | Only a single heterozygous observation exists in gnomAD v4.1 (1 allele out of 1,613,826). This single observation is insufficient to apply BS2, which requires observation in multiple healthy adults for a disorder expected to be fully penetrant at an early age. No homozygous observations exist. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrating no damaging effect are available for this variant. |
|
| BS4 | Not met | No segregation data demonstrating lack of cosegregation with disease is available for this variant. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | While CDK6 loss of function may be associated with disease per targeted germline literature review, there is no established evidence that CDK6-related disease is caused primarily by truncating variants such that missense variants are expected to be benign. The available literature supports a general LoF mechanism but does not specify a truncating-predominant mutational spectrum. |
|
| BP2 | Not met | No data on observations of this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant (for dominant disorders) or in cis with a pathogenic variant is available. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | Multiple lines of computational evidence do not consistently suggest no impact on gene or gene product. REVEL score (0.638) suggests a possible deleterious effect, conflicting with the lower BayesDel score (0.209). Evidence is not uniformly benign. |

| BP5 | Not met | No data is available indicating this variant is found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as benign. The variant is absent from ClinVar. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous variants without predicted splice impact. NM_001259.8:c.401A>G is a missense variant (p.Asp134Gly). |
