Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_017763.5:c.1403C>T (p.Ser468Leu) is a missense variant in RNF43 absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 population databases (PM2_Supporting).
2
No additional pathogenic or benign criteria are met. The variant is absent from ClinVar, has not been reported in the literature, and in silico predictions are equivocal (REVEL 0.37, BayesDel -0.227, SpliceAI max delta 0.01).
3
Based on generic ACMG/AMP 2015 classification rules, PM2_Supporting alone is insufficient to classify this variant as Likely Pathogenic or Likely Benign. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | N/A | Missense variant (p.Ser468Leu); does not fall into null-variant buckets of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice consensus variants per ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations (PMC6185798). |
pvs1_variant_assessment
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | N/A | No different pathogenic nucleotide change at c.1403 identified that produces the same amino acid change (p.Ser468Leu). |
clinvar
pm5_candidates
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo occurrence data available for this variant; no pedigree or parentage information in evidence sources. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No variant-specific functional studies identified; OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect; no published functional data for NM_017763.5:c.1403C>T found in the literature. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control or prevalence data available; variant is absent from population databases but no affected-vs-control comparison has been performed. |
|
| PS5 | Not met | No de novo evidence available to support this criterion. |
|
| PM1 | Not met | Not located in a statistically significant mutational hotspot; residue p.Ser468 is not in a known functional domain without benign variation based on available evidence. |
oncokb
|
| PM2 | Met | Variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 population databases, consistent with PM2 at supporting level for a rare missense variant. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM5 | N/A | No same-residue pathogenic comparator variant identified in ClinVar at codon 468; automatic PM5 candidate harvesting produced no candidates. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not met | No assumed de novo evidence available; no reports of this variant occurring de novo in any publication or database. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No cosegregation data available; no family studies including this variant found. |
|
| PP2 | Not met | RNF43 disease mechanism is primarily loss-of-function; HCI prior data unavailable to assess missense constraint. Cannot establish that missense variants in RNF43 have a low rate of benign variation and are a common disease mechanism. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| PP3 | Not met | In silico evidence is equivocal: REVEL score 0.37 is below the standard deleterious threshold of 0.5; BayesDel score -0.227 is not supportive of pathogenicity; SpliceAI max delta 0.01 indicates no splicing impact. Multiple computational tools do not support a deleterious effect. |

|
| PP4 | Not met | No patient phenotype or clinical data available to assess specificity of presentation for RNF43-related disease. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as pathogenic; variant is absent from ClinVar. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1; allele frequency does not exceed BA1 threshold of >1% in any population. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | Variant is absent from gnomAD; allele frequency does not exceed BS1 threshold of >0.3%. |

|
| BS2 | Not met | No data on observation of this variant in healthy adults with full penetrance expected at an early age. |
|
| BS3 | Not met | No functional studies demonstrating no deleterious effect are available for this variant. |
|
| BS4 | Not met | No segregation data available to demonstrate lack of cosegregation with disease. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | RNF43 is associated with disease through loss-of-function but missense variants cannot be categorically excluded as a disease mechanism. The gene is not definitively established as truncating-only. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not met | No data on observation of this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant in a recessive disorder. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | In silico evidence is equivocal: REVEL 0.37 is indeterminate, BayesDel -0.227 provides only mild benign prediction, and SpliceAI max delta 0.01 shows no splicing impact. Multiple lines of computational evidence do not consistently predict no effect on the gene product. |

|
| BP5 | Not met | No evidence that 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; variant is absent from ClinVar. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | This is a missense variant (p.Ser468Leu), not a synonymous variant; BP7 applies only to silent variants with no predicted splice impact. |
