Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
NM_001184.3:c.6680A>G (p.Asn2227Ser) is a missense variant in ATR that is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada population databases (PM2_moderate).
2
No functional data, case-control studies, segregation data, or de novo observations were identified for this variant. OncoKB classifies it as Unknown Oncogenic Effect. ClinVar reports it as Uncertain significance (1★, single submitter).
3
In silico predictors are equivocal: REVEL 0.545 (borderline), BayesDel -0.21413 (benign), SpliceAI max delta 0.00 (no splicing impact). This does not meet PP3 or BP4 thresholds.
4
The only met ACMG criterion is PM2 at moderate strength (absent from population databases). No other pathogenic or benign criteria are met. Under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules (PMID:25741868), a single moderate criterion is insufficient for classification as likely pathogenic, and no benign criteria are met to offset it. The variant is classified as 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 | This is a missense variant (NP_001175.2:p.Asn2227Ser); it does not fall into the default generic PVS1 null-variant buckets of nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice consensus variants per ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations (PMC6185798). |
pvs1_generic_framework
|
| PS1 | Not met | No evidence was identified that a different nucleotide change at this position resulting in the same amino acid substitution (p.Asn2227Ser) has been previously classified as pathogenic. No same-residue comparators were found in ClinVar or the literature. |

pm5_candidates
|
| PS2 | Not met | No data on de novo occurrence of this variant were identified. No parental testing results or family studies are available in the case materials. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No functional data were identified for NM_001184.3:c.6680A>G (p.Asn2227Ser) in OncoKB, the literature, or other curated sources. OncoKB classifies this variant as Unknown Oncogenic Effect. No publications with variant-specific functional assays were found. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control studies or prevalence data comparing this variant in affected vs. unaffected individuals are available. The variant has been reported only once in ClinVar as a VUS with a single clinical laboratory submission. |
clinvar
|
| PS5 | N/A | PS5 is not a standard ACMG/AMP 2015 criterion and no VCEP/CSPEC framework is available for ATR that defines PS5. This case uses generic_acmg framework. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM1 | Not met | The variant (p.Asn2227Ser) is not located in a statistically significant mutational hotspot per cancerhotspots.org. No well-characterized critical functional domain encompassing residue 2227 has been defined in the case materials, and no VCEP/CSPEC domain specification exists for ATR. |
|
| PM2 | Met | The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes), gnomAD v4.1 (exomes/genomes), and gnomAD-Canada v1.0 (genomes). This satisfies the PM2 criterion (allele frequency <0.1% in large population cohorts) for a rare missense variant in ATR. |

|
| PM5 | Not met | No pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense variants at the same amino acid residue (p.Asn2227) were identified in ClinVar or the candidate search. The automatic PM5 candidate harvest returned zero same-residue candidates. |

|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo observation (confirmed or unconfirmed) of this variant was identified. No family studies with parental testing are available. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No co-segregation data are available for this variant. No family studies or pedigree analysis was identified in the case materials. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | No HCI prior probability score or gene-specific missense constraint metric (e.g., missense Z-score, o/e ratio) is available for ATR in the case materials. PP2 requires evidence that the gene has a low rate of benign missense variation and that missense variants are a common disease mechanism. Without this data, PP2 cannot be reliably assessed under generic ACMG. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Multiple lines of in silico evidence do not support a deleterious effect. REVEL score is 0.545 (borderline, below the typical 0.75 pathogenic threshold), BayesDel score is -0.21413 (benign range), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score = 0.00). The computational evidence is equivocal to benign and does not meet PP3. |

|
| PP4 | Not met | No phenotypic data for the proband or affected individuals carrying this variant are available in the case materials. PP4 requires that the patient's phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology, which cannot be evaluated without clinical information. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | This variant is classified as Uncertain significance in ClinVar (ClinVarID 2624947) by a single clinical laboratory with review status 'criteria provided, single submitter' (1★). PP5 requires a reputable source (≥3★ expert panel) to have classified the variant as pathogenic; 1★ VUS does not meet this threshold. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada. The allele frequency is 0%, which is far below the BA1 threshold of >1% in any population. |

| BS1 | Not met | The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada. The allele frequency is 0%, which is below the BS1 threshold of >0.3% in any population. |

|
| BS2 | Not met | No observation of this variant in a homozygous or hemizygous state in healthy adults was identified. gnomAD reports no homozygous individuals for this variant. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not met | No well-established functional studies showing no damaging effect of this variant were identified. OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect, and no publications with variant-specific functional assays demonstrating benign effect are available. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not met | No family segregation data are available to demonstrate lack of co-segregation with disease. No pedigree analysis or affected family member testing data were provided. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | While ATR loss-of-function is supported as a germline disease mechanism (pvs1_gene_context: lof_mechanism_supported=true), there is insufficient evidence to conclude that missense variants in ATR are not a disease mechanism. BP1 requires demonstration that the gene primarily causes disease through truncating variants and that missense variants are a rare or unknown mechanism, which has not been established for ATR. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not met | No observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic variant in a fully penetrant dominant disorder. ATR-associated germline disease inheritance pattern is not well-defined, and no phasing data are available. |
|
| BP4 | Not met | In silico evidence is mixed and does not provide multiple consistent lines supporting no impact. REVEL score is 0.545 (borderline, neither clearly benign nor pathogenic), BayesDel is -0.21413 (benign range), and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta 0.00). While BayesDel suggests a benign effect, REVEL is equivocal rather than clearly benign. The evidence is not sufficiently consistent across multiple predictors to meet BP4. |

| BP5 | Not met | No alternate molecular cause for the observed phenotype was identified in the case materials. No evidence of a different pathogenic variant explaining the phenotype is available. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | This variant is classified as Uncertain significance in ClinVar (ClinVarID 2624947) by a single clinical laboratory (1★). BP6 requires a reputable source (≥3★ expert panel) to have classified the variant as benign or likely benign; 1★ VUS does not meet this threshold. |

| BP7 | N/A | This is a missense variant (c.6680A>G, p.Asn2227Ser), not a synonymous or intronic variant. BP7 applies only to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | Skipped per pre-adjudication instruction: in-frame deletion/insertion criterion not applicable to this substitution variant. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | Skipped per pre-adjudication instruction: recessive disorder trans-configuration criterion not assessed. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | Skipped per pre-adjudication instruction: protein length change criterion not applicable to this substitution variant. |
