Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and Canada (AF 0), below the <0.1% threshold.
2
BP4 (Supporting): SpliceAI max delta 0.00 and BayesDel −0.186 predict no impact on the gene product.
3
VUS: PM2 + BP4 (one supporting each) satisfies no Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Benign, or Likely Benign rule in the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination table.
Final determination:
Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback combination rule: with only 1 pathogenic supporting (PM2) and 1 benign supporting (BP4) criterion applied, no Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Benign, or Likely Benign combination threshold is met, so the variant is classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance.

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 | Not applicable: missense substitution, not a null variant class, so no nonsense-mediated decay or truncation mechanism is triggered. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS1 | Not met | Not met: no established pathogenic variant produces the same p.Lys965Asn change; the only ClinVar entry is a 1-star VUS. |

PMID:25394175
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no de novo occurrence or parental testing for this variant is recorded in any source. |
clinvar
PMID:25394175
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional studies exist; OncoKB reports no variant-specific evidence and COSMIC lacks the variant. |
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no case-control or case-series data exist for this variant in any retrieved source. |
clinvar
|
| PM1 | Not met | Not met: residue 965 shows no statistically significant cancer hotspot and no curated critical-domain annotation. |

| PM2 | Met | Met (supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and Canada (AF 0), below the <0.1% threshold. |

|
| PM3 | N/A | Not applicable: RET cancer syndromes are autosomal dominant, so the recessive in-trans requirement does not apply. |
clinvar
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: missense substitution with no protein length change, so there is nothing to evaluate. |
pvs1_generic_framework

|
| PM5 | Not met | Not met: no pathogenic alternate missense at residue 965; the screen found zero same-residue candidates. |

PMID:25394175

|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: missense is a known RET disease mechanism, but no gene-level benign-missense-rate data was available. |

|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: no in silico tool predicts damage — SpliceAI 0.00, BayesDel −0.186, REVEL 0.529 intermediate. |

PMID:25394175

|
| BP1 | Not met | Not met: activating missense variants are an established RET disease mechanism, so missense cannot be assumed benign. |
oncokb

|
| BP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no in-trans or in-cis observation with a pathogenic variant is documented for this variant. |

|
| BP3 | N/A | Not applicable: missense substitution, not an in-frame indel in a repetitive region. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| BP4 | Met | Met (supporting): SpliceAI max delta 0.00 and BayesDel −0.186 both predict no impact (REVEL 0.529 indeterminate). |

| BP7 | N/A | Not applicable: missense substitution, not a synonymous variant, so the silent-variant premise fails. |
