Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_023110.3:c.1368G>T (p.Met456Ile) is a missense variant in exon 10 of FGFR1, encoding the tyrosine kinase domain.
2
This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 at an allele frequency of 0.041% (115/280,958 alleles, 0 homozygotes) and in v4.1 at 0.056% (905/1,614,218 alleles, 0 homozygotes), with a grpmax filtering allele frequency of 0.069%. While below the formal BS1 threshold of 0.3%, the substantial carrier count in population databases (905 in v4.1) indicates this variant is not a rare private mutation.
3
In ClinVar, 10 of 11 clinical laboratory submissions classify this variant as Likely benign (7) or Benign (3), with one VUS. No submitter classifies the variant as pathogenic or likely pathogenic. The review status is 'criteria provided, single submitter' without expert panel consensus.
4
In silico predictions are discordant: REVEL (0.802) predicts damaging, while BayesDel (0.069) and SpliceAI (max delta 0.00) predict benign/no splicing impact. No variant-specific functional studies or case-level observations of pathogenicity were identified in the reviewed literature.
5
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules: one supporting benign criterion (BP6) is met. PM2 is met at supporting level for pathogenicity but is substantially weakened by the high carrier count (905 in v4.1). The overall evidence profile favors a likely benign interpretation based on population frequency and multi-laboratory clinical consensus, though the formal BS1 threshold is not crossed.
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

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_023110.3:c.1368G>T is a missense variant (p.Met456Ile) in exon 10 and does not fall into any generic PVS1 null-variant bucket (nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice consensus). The PVS1 variant assessment confirms apply_generic_pvs1_framework is false. |
pvs1_variant_assessment
pvs1_gene_context
|
| PS1 | Not met | No ClinVar or literature evidence identifies a different nucleotide change at the same codon (c.1368) producing the same amino acid change (p.Met456Ile). PS1 requires a known pathogenic variant at the same position with a different nucleotide substitution. |
clinvar
pm5_candidates
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo observation data are available for this variant. ClinVar submissions do not report de novo status, and no reviewed publication documents a confirmed de novo occurrence of NM_023110.3:c.1368G>T. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies have been identified for p.Met456Ile. OncoKB classifies this variant as 'Unknown Oncogenic Effect' with no variant-specific functional evidence. No reviewed publication reports experimental functional data for this variant. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control study or systematic phenotypic data are available to demonstrate significantly increased prevalence of this variant in affected individuals versus controls. The variant is observed in 115–905 population alleles in gnomAD, inconsistent with a highly penetrant rare disease variant. |

|
| PS5 | Not met | No ClinGen-recognized expert panel or authoritative clinical practice guideline has classified NM_023110.3:c.1368G>T as pathogenic. Available ClinVar classifications are from single submitters without expert panel review. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | Although p.Met456Ile resides in the tyrosine kinase domain of FGFR1, the variant is not located in a statistically significant mutational hotspot per the hotspot screen. Without CSPEC/VCEP guidance identifying codon 456 as a critical functional domain for PM1, this criterion cannot be applied. |
|
| PM2 | Met | The variant is present in gnomAD at low frequency — v2.1 AF 0.041% (115/280,958 alleles) and v4.1 AF 0.056% (905/1,614,218 alleles), both below the 0.1% threshold for PM2. However, the substantial carrier count (905 in v4.1) substantially weakens the evidence weight and this criterion should be considered borderline in the context of a rare disease gene. |

|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo observation with unconfirmed parentage has been reported for this variant. No ClinVar submission or reviewed publication documents a de novo event. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not met | No family segregation data are available for NM_023110.3:c.1368G>T. No reviewed publication reports cosegregation of this variant with disease in affected family members. |
|
| PP2 | Not met | FGFR1 has a mix of pathogenic and benign missense variants; it does not exhibit a low rate of benign missense variation that would support PP2. Without CSPEC/VCEP guidance defining a missense constraint metric for FGFR1, PP2 cannot be applied. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PP3 | Not met | In silico predictions are discordant: REVEL score 0.802 suggests a damaging effect, but BayesDel score 0.069 predicts benign and SpliceAI delta 0.00 predicts no splicing impact. A single damaging prediction (REVEL) does not meet the 'multiple lines of computational evidence' threshold for PP3. |

|
| PP4 | Not met | No patient phenotype information is available in the case data. PP4 requires that the patient's phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease associated with FGFR1, which cannot be assessed. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | ClinVar reports a consensus classification of Likely benign/Benign from 10 of 11 clinical laboratories, with only 1 VUS. No reputable source classifies this variant as pathogenic. The ClinVar review status is 'criteria provided, single submitter' with no expert panel review. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | The maximum allele frequency in gnomAD is 0.056% (v4.1) with grpmax FAF of 0.069%, well below the 1% threshold required for BA1. |

gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | The maximum allele frequency in gnomAD is 0.056% (v4.1) with grpmax FAF of 0.069%, below the 0.3% threshold for BS1. While the variant has 905 carriers in v4.1, the frequency does not formally exceed the BS1 cutoff of >0.3%. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not met | No homozygous individuals are observed in gnomAD (v2.1 or v4.1). BS2 requires observation in a homozygous state in a healthy adult, which is not supported by available data. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrate that p.Met456Ile has no deleterious effect. OncoKB lists the variant as 'Unknown Oncogenic Effect' with no functional data. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not met | No family segregation data are available to demonstrate lack of cosegregation with disease in affected family members. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | FGFR1-related disorders are not solely caused by loss-of-function truncating variants; activating missense variants in the tyrosine kinase domain are a well-established pathogenic mechanism (e.g., craniosynostosis, Hartsfield syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia). BP1 requires that the disease mechanism is exclusively truncating, which is not the case for FGFR1. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not met | No data are available regarding observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic dominant FGFR1 variant. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | In silico predictions are discordant: REVEL 0.802 predicts damaging, while BayesDel 0.069 and SpliceAI 0.00 predict benign/neutral. BP4 requires multiple lines of computational evidence suggesting no impact, which is not met given the REVEL score in the damaging range. |

|
| BP5 | Not met | No data are available indicating that this variant has been observed in a case with an alternative molecular cause for disease. |
|
| BP6 | Met | Ten of eleven clinical laboratory submissions in ClinVar classify NM_023110.3:c.1368G>T as Likely benign (7 labs) or Benign (3 labs), with only one VUS. While no expert panel review is available, the strong inter-laboratory consensus towards benign supports BP6 at the supporting level. |

| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame indels in repetitive regions; this is a single-nucleotide substitution. |
|
| BP7 | N/A | NM_023110.3:c.1368G>T is a missense variant (p.Met456Ile), not a synonymous variant. BP7 applies only to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders with a pathogenic variant in trans; no recessive inheritance model or trans data are provided for this case. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to non-frameshift indels altering protein length; this is a single-nucleotide missense substitution. |
