Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
BA1 (Stand-alone): gnomAD v4.1 African/African American allele frequency 8.31% exceeds the >5% threshold.
2
BS1 (Strong): gnomAD v4.1 total allele frequency 0.45% is roughly 10–20-fold the ~0.02–0.05% expected for a pathogenic NF1 allele.
3
BS2 (Strong): 310 homozygotes in gnomAD v4.1 despite NF1's near-complete penetrance by adulthood.
4
BP4 (Supporting): SpliceAI max delta 0.079, below the 0.1 threshold for predicted splice impact.
5
Overall: Benign — BA1 alone is sufficient under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 rules, with two BS criteria independently satisfied as well.
Final determination:
Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback combination rule: BA1 (stand-alone benign, allele frequency >5%) alone classifies the variant as Benign, independently supported by two strong benign criteria (BS1 + BS2) which also satisfy the '2 BS -> Benign' rule.

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: synonymous change produces p.(Gly848=), so no null-variant mechanism (nonsense-mediated decay, truncation, splice disruption) applies. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS1 | N/A | Not applicable: synonymous change produces no altered amino acid to compare against a previously established pathogenic change. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no proband or parental genotype data was available to confirm or exclude a de novo occurrence. |
clinvar
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no well-established functional study of this variant was available. |

|
| PS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no affected-versus-control prevalence data was available; control frequencies were high. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM1 | N/A | Not applicable: synonymous change produces no altered residue to evaluate for mutational hotspot or critical-domain membership. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM2 | Not met | Not met: gnomAD v4.1 total allele frequency 0.45% — the variant is neither absent nor rare. |
PMID:25741868

|
| PM3 | N/A | Not applicable: NF1 is autosomal dominant, so the recessive-disorder criterion does not apply. |
cspec
PMID:25741868
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: synonymous change causes no protein length alteration. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM5 | N/A | Not applicable: no missense change exists at this residue to compare against a different pathogenic missense. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no proband or parental testing data was available to assume a de novo event. |
clinvar
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no family, pedigree, or segregation data was available. |
clinvar
|
| PP2 | N/A | Not applicable: synonymous change, so the gene's missense-constraint properties do not apply. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.079 vs the >0.2 PP3 threshold. |
