Basis gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM2 supporting, BP4 supporting; combination = 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
DNMT3A c.1055G>A

This variant is present at very low frequency in gnomAD (AF 0.004-0.007%), meeting PM2 at supporting strength.1 Multiple in silico predictors (REVEL 0.098, BayesDel -0.52, SpliceAI max delta 0.29) predict a benign effect, meeting BP4 at supporting strength.2 The variant is a missense change not predicted to alter splicing; it does not qualify for PVS1, and no functional, segregation, or case-control data support a pathogenic role.3 With one supporting pathogenic criterion (PM2) and one supporting benign criterion (BP4), the evidence is balanced and insufficient to classify this variant as either pathogenic or benign. The variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS).4

This variant is present at very low frequency in population databases: gnomAD v2.1 allele frequency 4.25e-05 (0.00425%, 12/282,532 alleles, 0 homozygotes) and gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency 6.75e-05 (0.00675%, 109/1,614,124 alleles, 0 homozygotes), both well below the 0.1% threshold for PM2 supporting.

BP4 supporting Benign
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest this variant does not impact protein function or splicing: REVEL score 0.098 (well below 0.5, predicts benign), BayesDel score -0.520724 (negative, predicts benign), and SpliceAI max delta score 0.29 (below 0.5 threshold, no predicted splice-altering effect).

Pathogenic
PS1 No pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant resulting in the same amino acid change (p.Ser352Asn) was identified from a different nucleotide change in ClinVar or the literature.
PS2 No de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity was identified for this variant in the available evidence.
PS3 No variant-specific functional data are available for p.Ser352Asn.
PS4 No variant-specific case-control prevalence data are available.
PM1 Residue 352 lies within the PWWP domain of DNMT3A (approximately residues 278-427), but cancerhotspots.org does not identify this position as a statistically significant mutational hotspot, and no domain-level mutational enrichment specific to germline disease has been demonstrated for this region in the available evidence.
PM5 No pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense variant at the same codon (Ser352) with a different amino acid change was identified.
PM6 No de novo observation, confirmed or unconfirmed, was identified for this variant in the available evidence.
PP1 No cosegregation data with disease in multiple affected family members is available for this variant.
PP2 Although DNMT3A is associated with Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome where missense variants are a known mechanism, no gene-specific missense constraint metric (e.g., missense Z-score) or VCEP-defined PP2 threshold is available to formally apply this criterion.
PP3 Multiple in silico predictors suggest a benign effect: REVEL score 0.098 (well below 0.5 threshold), BayesDel score -0.520724 (negative, supports benign), and SpliceAI max delta 0.29 (below 0.5 threshold for splice-altering prediction).
PP4 No patient phenotype or clinical data are available to assess whether the phenotype is highly specific for DNMT3A-related disease.
PP5 ClinVar classification is uncertain significance with review status 'criteria provided, single submitter,' which does not meet the 3-star expert panel threshold required for PP5 application.
Benign
BA1 This variant has a maximum allele frequency of 0.00675% in gnomAD v4.1, far below the 1% threshold for BA1.
BS1 This variant has a maximum allele frequency of 0.01634% in the South Asian population (gnomAD v2.1), far below the 0.3% threshold for BS1.
BS2 No specific observation of this variant in healthy adults at significant frequency, independent of disease penetrance, is available.
BS3 No well-established functional studies demonstrate a lack of damaging effect for this variant.
BS4 No segregation data in affected families demonstrating lack of cosegregation with disease is available.
BP1 DNMT3A is associated with Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome, where both missense and truncating pathogenic variants are described.
BP2 No observation of this variant in trans with a known pathogenic DNMT3A variant is available.
BP5 No observation of this variant in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease is available.
BP6 ClinVar classification is uncertain significance, not benign or likely benign, and does not meet the 3-star expert panel threshold required for BP6 application.
