Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_001259.8:c.763C>T (p.His255Tyr) is a missense variant in CDK6, a gene without an established ClinGen CSPEC/VCEP framework. Assessment follows generic ACMG/AMP 2015 guidelines (PMID:25741868).
2
This variant is extremely rare in population databases, present at an allele frequency of 6.2 × 10⁻⁷ (1/1,614,060 alleles, 0 homozygotes) in gnomAD v4.1 and absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada, meeting PM2 at supporting level (PM2_Supporting).
3
Multiple in silico tools predict a benign effect: REVEL score 0.062, BayesDel score -0.465931, and SpliceAI max delta 0.00, meeting BP4 at supporting level (BP4_Supporting).
4
No pathogenic criteria above supporting level are met. PVS1 is not applicable (missense variant). PS1-PS5 are not met due to absence from ClinVar and lack of functional, segregation, or de novo data. PM1 and PM5 are not met. PP1-PP5 are not met.
5
No benign criteria above supporting level are met. BA1 and BS1 are not met (allele frequency far below thresholds). BS2-BS4 are not met. BP1, BP2, BP5, and BP6 are not met. BP3 and BP7 are not applicable.
6
With one supporting pathogenic criterion (PM2_Supporting) and one supporting benign criterion (BP4_Supporting), the evidence is balanced with no criteria above supporting strength on either side. Under ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules, this results in a classification of 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 | NM_001259.8:c.763C>T is a missense variant (p.His255Tyr), not a null variant (nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice consensus). PVS1 is not applicable to missense substitutions per the ClinGen PVS1 decision tree (PMC6185798). |
pvs1_variant_assessment
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | Not met | This variant is absent from ClinVar. No prior classification exists for any nucleotide change at codon 255 resulting in the same amino acid substitution (p.His255Tyr). Insufficient evidence to apply PS1. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo occurrence data with confirmed maternity and paternity is available for this variant. No publications report this variant in a de novo context. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No variant-specific functional studies were identified. OncoKB reports an Unknown Oncogenic Effect with no curated functional evidence for this variant. No publications mention NM_001259.8:c.763C>T. PS3 requires experimental evidence directly testing the variant or a systematically characterized range that includes codon 255; neither is available. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control or prevalence data are available to assess whether this variant is significantly enriched in affected individuals versus controls. |
|
| PS5 | Not met | No reputable source has classified this variant as pathogenic. The variant is entirely absent from ClinVar, and no published reports associate it with disease. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | Residue H255 is not located in a statistically significant mutational hotspot (cancerhotspots.org: residue_significant=false, exact_variant_listed=no). While H255 lies within the CDK6 protein kinase domain (approximately residues 13-300), the case dossier lacks specific evidence that pathogenic germline missense variants cluster at this position or that codon 255 is a critical functional site. Domain-level inference alone is insufficient without supporting evidence of variant enrichment or functional criticality at this specific residue. |
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is extremely rare in population databases: absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes) and present at an allele frequency of 6.2 × 10⁻⁷ (1/1,614,060 alleles, 0 homozygotes) in gnomAD v4.1, well below the PM2 threshold of <0.1%. Also absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0. |

|
| PM5 | N/A | Automated PM5 candidate harvesting could not confirm classic same-residue PM5 semantics. No pathogenic missense variants at codon 255 (His) were identified in ClinVar. Manual review confirms no comparator variants exist at this residue. |

clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity is available for this variant. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No co-segregation data are available for this variant in affected families. |
|
| PP2 | Not met | Insufficient data to assess whether CDK6 has a low rate of benign missense variation. HCI prior score is not available for CDK6 (gene not supported in the HCI database). Without an HCI missense constraint metric, PP2 cannot be applied under the generic ACMG/AMP framework. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | In silico tools consistently predict a benign effect: REVEL score 0.062 (well below the 0.5 threshold), BayesDel score -0.465931 (negative value indicating benign), and SpliceAI shows no splicing impact (max delta 0.00). Multiple computational lines do not support a deleterious effect; PP3 is not met. |

|
| PP4 | Not met | No patient phenotype or clinical data are available for adjudication. PP4 requires that the patient's phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has reported this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar entirely. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Allele frequency of 6.2 × 10⁻⁷ (0.00006%) in gnomAD v4.1 is far below the BA1 threshold of >1%. This variant is not a common polymorphism. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS1 | Not met | Allele frequency of 6.2 × 10⁻⁷ (0.00006%) in gnomAD v4.1 is far below the BS1 threshold of >0.3%. The variant is not observed at a frequency greater than expected for the disorder. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS2 | Not met | No homozygous observations in population databases (gnomAD v4.1 homozygous count = 0; gnomAD v2.1 absent entirely). No evidence of healthy homozygous adult carriers. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies demonstrate no deleterious effect for this variant. No publications mention NM_001259.8:c.763C>T, and OncoKB reports no functional evidence. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not met | No segregation data are available to assess whether this variant fails to segregate with disease in affected family members. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | CDK6 is not established as a gene where only truncating variants cause disease with missense variants being benign. The PVS1 gene-context literature search identified publications about CDK6's interaction with CDKN2A/CDKN2B, not primary CDK6 disease-causing germline mutations. CDK6 germline disease association remains undefined, and no evidence supports a truncating-only mechanism. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not met | No observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant disorder. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame deletions or insertions in a repetitive region without a known function. This is a single-nucleotide missense substitution with no repetitive-region context. Not applicable. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Multiple lines of computational evidence predict no deleterious effect: REVEL score 0.062 (benign, well below 0.5 pathogenicity threshold), BayesDel score -0.465931 (negative value, consistent with benign), and SpliceAI max delta 0.00 (no predicted splicing impact). Three independent in silico tools consistently support a benign interpretation. |

|
| BP5 | Not met | No case has been identified where this variant occurs in an individual with an alternate molecular basis for disease. No clinical phenotype data are available. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | No reputable source has classified this variant as benign. The variant is absent from ClinVar entirely. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. NM_001259.8:c.763C>T is a missense variant (p.His255Tyr), not a synonymous substitution. Not applicable. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders where a variant is observed in trans with a pathogenic variant. CDK6 germline inheritance pattern is not established as recessive, and no second variant data are available. Not applicable. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to protein-length-changing variants (stop-loss, in-frame deletions/insertions) in non-repeat regions. NM_001259.8:c.763C>T is a missense substitution that does not alter protein length. Not applicable. |
