Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): essentially absent from population databases - gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency 4.34e-06, below the 0.00003 threshold.
2
BS3 (Strong): VCEP functional data show normal protein function (Kato 'Functional', no loss of function).
3
BP4 (Moderate): BayesDel -0.347 and SpliceAI max delta 0.004 indicate no pathogenic computational or splicing evidence.
4
BP6 (Supporting): ClinGen TP53 Expert Panel classified this variant Likely Benign.
5
Final classification: Likely Benign, per TP53 VCEP Rule 4 (combined score -6, within the -6 to -2 range).
Final determination: TP53 VCEP v2.4 point total -6 falls in Rule4 (>= -6 and <= -2) => Likely Benign.
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: this is a missense substitution, not a null variant, so the loss-of-function rule does not apply.
cspec vcep_pvs1_flowchart pvs1_generic_framework
PS1 Not assessed Not assessed: insufficient evidence was available to identify an alternate nucleotide change at this residue with an established pathogenic classification.
cspec pm5_candidates
PS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no proband-level phenotype data or confirmed parental genotypes were available to establish de novo status.
cspec vcep_table_of_lfs_cancers_and_points_for_ps2_and_pp1_code_application
PS3 Not met Not met: VCEP functional data show normal protein activity (Kato 'Functional', no loss of function), directly contradicting the loss-of-function requirement.
vcep_functional_worksheet vcep_flowchart_for_application_of_functional_rule_codes cspec
PS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no verified case series or Li-Fraumeni cancer-point data were available for this variant.
cspec vcep_ps4_points_table vcep_table_of_lfs_cancers_and_points_for_ps2_and_pp1_code_application
PM1 Not met Not met: codon 356 is not among the six VCEP hotspot codons, and cancerhotspots.org shows no hotspot match.
cspec oncokb
PM2 Met Met (Supporting): gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency 4.34e-06 (7/1,613,958 alleles) is below the 0.00003 threshold.
cspec gnomad_v4
PM3 N/A Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP specification marks PM3 as not applicable for this gene.
cspec
PM4 N/A Not applicable: missense substitution causes no protein length change, and the VCEP marks PM4 not applicable.
cspec
PM5 Not assessed Not assessed: no prior VCEP-classified pathogenic missense variant at residue 356 was documented; insufficient evidence was available.
cspec pm5_candidates vcep_functional_worksheet
PM6 N/A Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP uses PS2 exclusively for de novo evidence, dropping PM6.
cspec
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: no family segregation data (affected relatives or meiosis counts) were available.
cspec vcep_table_of_lfs_cancers_and_points_for_ps2_and_pp1_code_application
PP2 N/A Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP specification marks PP2 as not applicable.
cspec
PP3 Not met Not met: BayesDel score -0.347 is far below the 0.16 pathogenic threshold, and SpliceAI max delta is 0.004.
cspec bayesdel spliceai
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: no phenotype-specificity evidence or qualifying VAF observations were available.
cspec
PP5 Not met Not met: the ClinVar record's ClinGen TP53 Expert Panel classification is Likely Benign, not Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic.
clinvar
BA1 Not met Not met: highest gnomAD v4.1 ancestry frequency is 5.93e-06, far below the 0.001 BA1 threshold.
cspec gnomad_v4
BS1 Not met Not met: highest gnomAD v4.1 ancestry frequency is 5.93e-06, below the 0.0003 BS1 threshold.
cspec gnomad_v4
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no cohort data documenting two or more cancer-free women aged 60 or older were available.
cspec
BS3 Met Met (Strong): VCEP functional worksheet assigns BS3, with Kato 'Functional' and no loss of function across eligible assays.
vcep_functional_worksheet vcep_flowchart_for_application_of_functional_rule_codes cspec
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-family-member genotype data were available to establish absence of segregation.
cspec vcep_table_of_lfs_cancers_and_points_for_ps2_and_pp1_code_application
BP1 N/A Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP specification marks BP1 as not applicable.
cspec
BP2 N/A Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP specification marks BP2 as not applicable.
cspec
BP3 N/A Not applicable: this is a missense substitution, not an in-frame indel, and the VCEP marks BP3 not applicable.
cspec
BP4 Met Met (Moderate): BayesDel -0.347 is below the -0.008 cutoff and SpliceAI max delta 0.004 shows no splicing impact. Flagged for human review: aGVGD class not confirmed to exclude C65, which would void BP4.
cspec bayesdel spliceai
BP5 N/A Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP specification marks BP5 as not applicable.
cspec
BP6 Met Met (Supporting): ClinGen TP53 Variant Curation Expert Panel classified this variant Likely Benign.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: BP7 applies only to synonymous or intronic variants; this is a missense substitution.
