missense

ROS1 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein with intracellular tyrosine kinase activity, belonging to the sevenless subfamily of tyrosine kinase insulin receptor genes. It is a proto-oncogene highly expressed in a variety of tumor cell lines and may normally function as a growth or differentiation factor receptor, though its physiological role and ligand in humans are not yet known. ROS1 gene rearrangements that retain the kinase domain are implicated in several human epithelial cancers, most commonly non-small cell lung cancer, as well as cholangiocarcinoma, ovarian carcinoma, gastric carcinoma, and angiosarcoma, and are thought to drive tumor development through constitutive kinase activation.

This variant

ROS1 is a proto-oncogene whose kinase-domain rearrangements drive several cancers, most commonly non-small cell lung cancer. This missense variant (p.Tyr2023Phe), located in the tyrosine kinase region, is absent from population databases and has no reported clinical or functional evidence, so its contribution to ROS1-related cancer risk is currently uncertain (VUS).

VUS: with no ROS1 CSPEC/VCEP, the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 framework applies; the only met criterion, PM2 (Supporting, AF = 0 in gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0), satisfies no combination rule.
Classification rationale
PM2 VUS
ROS1 c.6068A>T missense

PM2 (Supporting): absent (AF = 0) from gnomAD v2.1 exomes, gnomAD v4.1 exomes, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0 genomes, three independent population datasets. VUS: a single Supporting PM2 satisfies no ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rule for Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Benign, or Likely Benign.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Pathogenic
PS1 Not assessed: no ClinVar record or literature reports exist, so no same-amino-acid pathogenic comparator (p.Tyr2023Phe) was available.
PS2 Not assessed: no proband phenotype, family history, or parental genotyping data were available to evaluate a de novo origin.
PS3 Not assessed: no functional studies exist for this variant; OncoKB reports unknown oncogenic effect.
PS4 Not assessed: no case-control or cohort allele-frequency comparison exists for this variant.
PM1 Not met: no statistically significant hotspot at ROS1 Y2023, and no curated ROS1 domain map supports this position.
PM5 Not assessed: no pathogenic variant at the same residue (p.Tyr2023) was identified for comparison.
PM6 Not assessed: no de novo occurrence or parental testing results were reported for this variant.
PP1 Not assessed: no pedigree or family segregation data exist for this variant.
PP2 Not assessed: no ROS1 missense-constraint data (e.g., gnomAD Z-score) were available.
PP3 Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.01 predicts no splice impact, and REVEL 0.52 is uninformative (below 0.773, above 0.016).
PP4 Not assessed: no carrier phenotype or clinical case description was available for this variant.
PP5 Not met: this variant has no ClinVar record, so no expert-panel pathogenic classification exists to support PP5.
Benign
BA1 Not met: allele frequency is 0 in all queried population databases, far below the >5% BA1 threshold.
BS1 Not met: absent (AF = 0) from population databases, so the frequency cannot exceed any disease-consistent threshold.
BS2 Not met: no healthy-adult carriers of this variant were observed in any population cohort.
BS3 Not assessed: no functional studies demonstrating a benign effect on protein function or splicing exist.
BS4 Not assessed: no family segregation testing data exist for this variant.
BP1 Not met: ROS1 disease is not limited to truncating variants; non-truncating alterations are disease-relevant.
BP2 Not assessed: no allele-phase (trans/cis) observation with a pathogenic variant exists for this variant.
BP4 Not met: only SpliceAI (max delta 0.01) supports no impact, and REVEL 0.52 is uninformative, so the multiple-lines requirement fails.
BP5 Not assessed: no proband-level data exist to evaluate an alternative molecular basis for disease.
BP6 Not met: this variant has no ClinVar record, so no expert-panel benign classification exists to support BP6.
