Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, with zero alleles across 1,599,516.
2
BP4 (Supporting): REVEL 0.216 falls at/below the <=0.290 benign-supporting threshold, and SpliceAI max delta 0.003 predicts no splice impact.
3
One supporting pathogenic criterion opposed by one supporting benign criterion satisfies no Pathogenic, Likely Pathogenic, Benign, or Likely Benign combination rule; the variant is classified as VUS.
Final determination:
Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 combination rules require at least one strong/moderate pathogenic combination for a pathogenic-spectrum call, or 1BS+1BP/2BP for a benign-spectrum call; PM2(supporting)+BP4(supporting) alone meets neither and is conflicting in direction, so the variant 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 substitution, so no null-variant mechanism (nonsense-mediated decay, truncation, or splice disruption) applies. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: insufficient evidence was available to determine whether p.Arg123Leu matches a known pathogenic amino acid change. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no parental testing or trio data were available to confirm a de novo origin. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional assay data for p.Arg123Leu were identified, so a damaging effect could not be established. |
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no germline case-control or affected-case data exist; the single somatic COSMIC record does not qualify. |
|
| PM1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: insufficient evidence was available to determine whether p.Arg123Leu lies in a mutational hotspot or critical domain. |
|
| PM2 | Met | Met (supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, with zero alleles across 1,599,516. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no affected proband or phase data showing a pathogenic variant in trans were available. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: missense substitution causes no protein length change, so this in-frame indel/stop-loss criterion does not apply. |

|
| PM5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: insufficient evidence was available to determine whether a different pathogenic missense occurs at this same codon. |
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no presumed de novo occurrence was documented. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no affected relatives or informative meioses were documented, so cosegregation could not be evaluated. |
|
| PP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: insufficient evidence was available on MYCN's rate of benign missense variation. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: REVEL 0.216 is below the 0.644 pathogenic-supporting threshold, and SpliceAI max delta 0.003 predicts no splice impact. |

| PP4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: the patient's phenotype and its specificity for MYCN-related disease were not provided. |

|
| PP5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no ClinVar expert-panel pathogenic classification exists for this exact variant. |

|
| BA1 | Not met | Not met: allele frequency is 0 in 1,599,516 gnomAD v4.1 alleles, far below the >5% stand-alone benign threshold. |

|
| BS1 | Not met | Not met: the variant is absent from population databases, not present at a frequency exceeding that expected for a pathogenic MYCN variant. |

|
| BS2 | Not met | Not met: no healthy carriers or homozygous healthy individuals were observed in the population datasets. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional assay data showing normal activity for p.Arg123Leu were available. |
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no unaffected relatives were tested, so non-segregation could not be evaluated. |
|
| BP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: insufficient evidence was available to determine whether MYCN loss-of-function is the sole disease mechanism. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no phase or co-occurrence data showing the variant in trans with a benign or in cis with a pathogenic variant were available. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | Not applicable: missense substitution does not alter protein length, so this in-frame indel criterion does not apply. |

| BP4 | Met | Met (supporting): REVEL 0.216 meets the <=0.290 benign-supporting threshold, and SpliceAI max delta 0.003 predicts no splice impact. |

| BP5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no confirmed alternate molecular etiology for the patient's phenotype was provided. |
|
| BP6 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no ClinVar expert-panel benign classification exists for this exact variant. |

|
| BP7 | N/A | Not applicable: missense substitution, so the silent-variant premise of this criterion does not hold. |
