Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada.
2
BP4 (Supporting): SpliceAI predicts negligible splice impact (max delta 0.002, below the 0.2 threshold).
3
VUS: one supporting pathogenic and one supporting benign criterion satisfy no ACMG/AMP combination rule.
Final determination:
Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback: PM2 (supporting) + BP4 (supporting) meets no P/LP/B/LB threshold, defaults to VUS.
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 | Not applicable: missense change, so no null-variant mechanism (nonsense-mediated decay, truncation, or splice disruption) is triggered. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no variant producing the identical p.Gly287Arg change with an established pathogenic classification was available. |
clinvar
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no de novo observation with parental testing confirming absence in both parents was documented. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional assay evidence (e.g., transactivation, chromatin binding) for p.Gly287Arg was available. |
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no case-control cohort or affected-case counts for this variant were available. |
|
| PM1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: residue 287 is not documented as a mutational hotspot or critical functional domain. |
oncokb
|
| PM2 | Met | Met (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, supporting rarity for a rare disorder. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
gnomad_canada
|
| PM3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no evidence the variant occurs in trans with a pathogenic allele in an affected individual. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: missense change produces no protein length alteration. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no pathogenic missense variant at codon 287 with a different amino acid was available. |
pm5_candidates
clinvar
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no presumed de novo observation in a proband was documented. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no familial cosegregation or pedigree data was available. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no PHF6 missense constraint data (e.g., gnomAD Z-score) was available to assess benign missense rate. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: no calibrated missense predictor evidence supported damage (REVEL unavailable), and SpliceAI predicted negligible splice disruption (max delta 0.002). |
spliceai
bayesdel
|
| PP4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: the patient's phenotype was not provided. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | Not met: the variant is absent from ClinVar, with no expert-panel pathogenic classification available. |
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Not met: absent from gnomAD, so no population frequency at or above the BA1 threshold is demonstrated. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
gnomad_canada
|
| BS1 | Not met | Not met: absent from gnomAD, so no elevated population frequency above the benign threshold is demonstrated. |
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
gnomad_canada
|
| BS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no unaffected adult carriers or homozygotes were documented. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional assay evidence of normal protein activity for p.Gly287Arg was available. |
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no unaffected relatives carrying the variant were documented. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: insufficient data on PHF6's benign missense rate to determine whether missense is a common disease mechanism. |
pvs1_gene_context
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no in-trans or in-cis observations with phase or inheritance information were available. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| BP3 | N/A | Not applicable: missense change, not an in-frame indel in a repetitive region. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| BP4 | Met | Met (Supporting): SpliceAI predicts negligible splice impact (max delta 0.002, well below the 0.2 threshold). |
spliceai
|
| BP5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no alternate molecular diagnosis evidence was provided. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | Not met: the variant is absent from ClinVar, with no expert-panel benign classification available. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | Not applicable: missense change, not a synonymous variant. |
