Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (supporting): This variant is extremely rare in population databases — absent from gnomAD v2.1, present in gnomAD v4.1 at an allele frequency of 6.2e-7 (1/1,613,770 alleles, no homozygotes), and absent from gnomAD-Canada.
2
BP4 (supporting): Two in silico predictors suggest no deleterious impact — BayesDel score -0.172 (benign) and SpliceAI max delta 0.00 (no splice alteration). REVEL score 0.291 is indeterminate and does not override.
3
PM2 (supporting) and BP4 (supporting) cancel each other, yielding no net evidence for or against pathogenicity. The variant remains a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
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.Gly1036Arg); does not meet criteria for a null variant (nonsense, frameshift, or canonical ±1,2 splice site). PVS1 variant assessment confirms generic PVS1 framework is not applicable for this variant class. |

|
| PS1 | Not met | No known pathogenic variant at codon 1036 with a different nucleotide change producing the same amino acid change (p.Gly1036Arg). No comparator variants identified that would satisfy PS1. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PS2 | Not met | No de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity identified for this variant in the reviewed literature. |
|
| PS3 | Not met | No variant-specific functional studies identified. OncoKB reports Unknown Oncogenic Effect with no supporting functional evidence. No literature describing experimental characterization of c.3106G>A or a systematically characterized range that includes codon 1036. |
oncokb
|
| PS4 | Not met | No case-control studies or cohort data demonstrating statistically significant enrichment of this variant in affected individuals relative to controls. Reviewed papers are guideline/policy documents, not variant-specific clinical cohorts. |
|
| PS5 | Not met | No ClinVar pathogenic or likely pathogenic classification for a different nucleotide change at codon 1036 producing the same amino acid change (p.Gly1036Arg). PM5 candidate search returned no comparator variants at this residue. |

|
| PM1 | Not met | Not located in a statistically significant mutational hotspot per cancerhotspots.org. No domain-level functional evidence specifically implicating the region surrounding codon 1036 was identified in the reviewed literature. |
|
| PM2 | Met | This variant is extremely rare in population databases: absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada, and present in gnomAD v4.1 at an allele frequency of 6.2e-7 (1/1,613,770 alleles, 0 homozygotes), well below the 0.1% PM2 threshold. |

|
| PM5 | Not met | No same-residue comparator variant identified. PM5 candidate search returned zero candidates; unable to confirm a different pathogenic missense change at codon 1036. |

clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not met | No de novo observation reported for this variant in the reviewed literature. No family studies with parental testing available. |
|
| PP1 | Not met | No co-segregation data available. No family studies demonstrating segregation of this variant with disease phenotype. |
|
| PP2 | Not met | Insufficient data to determine whether TSC1 has a low rate of benign missense variation and whether missense variants are a common disease mechanism. TSC1 missense Z-score and constraint metrics were not available in the evidence packet. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Multiple in silico tools do not support a deleterious effect: REVEL score 0.291 is in the indeterminate range (neither benign <0.25 nor pathogenic >0.5), BayesDel score -0.172 is in the benign range (<0.0), and SpliceAI max delta 0.00 predicts no splice impact. |

|
| PP4 | Not met | No patient-specific clinical phenotype or family history data provided for this variant. Cannot assess whether the clinical presentation is highly specific for TSC1-related disease. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | ClinVar classification for this variant is Uncertain Significance (3 submitters) with review status 'criteria provided, single submitter' (1-star). Does not meet the 3-star expert panel threshold required for PP5 at any strength under the generic ACMG framework. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 6.2e-7 (0.00006%), well below the 1% BA1 threshold. Absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada. |

|
| BS1 | Not met | Allele frequency in gnomAD v4.1 is 6.2e-7 (0.00006%), well below the 0.3% BS1 threshold. Highest subpopulation frequency (African/African American) is 1.3e-5 (0.00133%), also well below threshold. |

gnomad_canada
|
| BS2 | Not met | Only 1 allele observed among >1.6 million alleles in gnomAD v4.1, with 0 homozygotes. This single observation is insufficient to establish that the variant occurs in healthy adults at a frequency supporting a benign interpretation under BS2. |
gnomad_v4
|
| BS3 | Not met | No variant-specific functional studies demonstrating a benign effect. No experimental evidence characterizing the functional impact of p.Gly1036Arg. |
oncokb
|
| BS4 | Not met | No non-segregation data available. No family studies demonstrating absence of the variant in affected relatives or presence in unaffected relatives. |
|
| BP1 | Not met | While truncating variants in TSC1 cause tuberous sclerosis complex, missense variants are also a recognized disease mechanism in TSC1 (e.g., disrupting the TSC1-TSC2 interaction). TSC1 is not a gene where disease is caused exclusively or primarily by truncating variants; pathogenic missense variants are well-documented. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not met | No observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic TSC1 variant. No data available to support BP2. |
|
| PM3 | N/A | PM3 applies to recessive disorders where the variant is observed in trans with a pathogenic variant; TSC1 is an autosomal dominant disorder. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | PM4 applies to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants; this is a missense substitution. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | BP3 applies to in-frame deletions/insertions in repetitive regions; this is a missense substitution. |
|
| BP4 | Met | Two independent in silico predictors suggest no deleterious impact: BayesDel score -0.172 is in the benign range (<0.0) and SpliceAI max delta 0.00 predicts no splice alteration. REVEL score 0.291 falls in the indeterminate range but does not contradict the benign predictions. |

|
| BP5 | Not met | No observation of this variant in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease. No data available to support BP5. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | ClinVar classification for this variant is Uncertain Significance (3 submitters), not benign or likely benign. The 1-star review status does not support BP6 application. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | BP7 applies to synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact; this is a missense variant (c.3106G>A, p.Gly1036Arg). |
