Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (moderate): The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada population databases, supporting a rare variant not observed in the general population.
2
BP4 (supporting benign): Multiple computational predictors (REVEL 0.377, BayesDel -0.0395, SpliceAI 0.00) suggest no significant impact on the gene product or splicing.
3
PVS1, PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5, PM1, PM5, PM6, PP1, PP3, PP4, PP5, BA1, BS1, BS2, BS3, BS4, BP2, BP5, BP6 are not met. BP1, BP7, BP3, PM3, PM4 are not applicable. PP2 is not assessed due to absent gnomAD constraint metrics.
4
Classification: Uncertain Significance (VUS). One moderate pathogenic criterion (PM2) and one supporting benign criterion (BP4) do not meet thresholds for Likely Pathogenic (requires ≥2 moderate or ≥1 strong) or Likely Benign (requires ≥2 supporting benign).
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 substitution (c.1223A>C, p.Asp408Ala); does not fall into PVS1 null-variant buckets of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice consensus variants. pvs1_variant_assessment confirms apply_generic_pvs1_framework=false. |
pvs1_variant_assessment
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | Not met | No ClinVar entry exists for any variant causing the same amino acid change (p.Asp408Ala) at this position. There is no evidence that this amino acid change has been previously established as pathogenic regardless of the underlying nucleotide change. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo data available. No family trios or confirmed paternity/maternity de novo reports exist for this variant in the evidence packet. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No functional studies identified for this variant or for a systematically characterized range that includes p.Asp408. Literature search returned 0 PMIDs; OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect with no variant-specific functional evidence. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control data available. Variant is absent from ClinVar and no prevalence comparison between affected individuals and controls can be performed. |
clinvar
|
| PS5 | N/A | PS5 is not a criterion in the ACMG/AMP 2015 classification framework used for this adjudication. |
|
| PM1 | Not met | Residue 408 (Asp408) lies in the intracellular juxtamembrane region of FGFR2 between the transmembrane domain (~378-398) and the kinase domain (~481-754), which is not a recognized mutational hotspot for FGFR2-related disorders. Cancerhotspots.org reports no statistical significance at this residue, and no ClinVar entries exist for position 408. |
clinvar
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0 population databases, consistent with a rare variant not observed in the general population. |

|
| PM5 | Not met | No same-residue comparator variants identified at position 408 in ClinVar. PM5 candidate search returned 0 candidates; no pathogenic missense variant at Asp408 has been reported against which to apply PM5. |

clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo reports (assumed de novo without confirmation of paternity/maternity) available for this variant in the evidence packet. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No cosegregation data available. No family studies have been performed or reported for this variant. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | gnomAD missense constraint metrics (Z-score, o/e ratio) for FGFR2 are not available in the evidence packet. While FGFR2-associated disorders are primarily caused by gain-of-function missense variants, PP2 requires quantitative evidence of low benign missense variation in the gene, which was not provided. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Multiple in silico predictors do not support a deleterious effect. REVEL score is 0.377 (below the 0.5 threshold for damaging prediction), BayesDel score is -0.0395 (in the benign range), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score 0.00). |

|
| PP4 | Not met | No patient phenotype or family history data are available for disease specificity assessment. The variant was submitted without clinical context. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | No reputable source has recently reported this variant as pathogenic. The variant is absent from ClinVar and no publications mention it. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada. Allele frequency does not exceed the 1% BA1 threshold. |

|
| BS2 | Not met | No evidence of this variant observed in healthy adult individuals for FGFR2-related disorders with expected full penetrance at an early age. |
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies showing no damaging effect for this variant. No functional data of any kind were identified. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not met | No segregation data available to demonstrate lack of segregation with disease in affected family members. |
|
| BP1 | N/A | FGFR2-associated disorders (craniosynostosis syndromes, skeletal dysplasias) are primarily caused by gain-of-function missense variants, not truncating variants. BP1 applies only to genes where truncating variants are the primary disease mechanism. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not met | No data on observations of this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant for this dominantly inherited disorder, or in cis with a pathogenic variant in any inheritance pattern. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no significant impact on the gene product. REVEL score is 0.377 (below 0.5 threshold), BayesDel score is -0.0395 (in the benign range), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score 0.00). |

|
| BP5 | Not met | No case has been reported where this variant was found in an individual with an alternate molecular basis for disease. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | No reputable source has recently reported this variant as benign. The variant is absent from ClinVar and no publications mention it. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | This is a missense variant (c.1223A>C, p.Asp408Ala), not a synonymous variant. BP7 applies only to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | In-frame indels in repeat regions without known function — not applicable to this missense substitution. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | FGFR2-related disorders follow autosomal dominant inheritance. PM3 (detected in trans for recessive disorders) is not applicable. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | Protein length changes due to in-frame indels or stop-loss — not applicable to this missense substitution. |
