Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
BA1 (Stand-alone Benign): gnomAD v4.1 African/African American allele frequency 14.95% (11,219/75,020 alleles, 875 homozygotes) far exceeds the >5% stand-alone benign threshold.
2
Overall classification: Benign, produced by the BA1 stand-alone rule under generic ACMG/AMP combination criteria.
Final determination: Generic ACMG/AMP 2015 rule: 1 BA1 (stand-alone benign, population allele frequency >5%) is sufficient alone to classify a variant as 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: deep intronic change 17 bp upstream of the exon, not a nonsense, frameshift, or canonical splice-site null variant.
pvs1_variant_assessment pvs1_gene_context spliceai pvs1_generic_framework
PS1 N/A Not applicable: no amino acid change (p.?) results, so there is no protein change to compare with a known pathogenic variant.
PS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no parental or proband data were available to confirm a de novo occurrence.
PS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no functional assay data (e.g., splicing assay) for this variant were available.
PS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no case-control or case-series evidence of enrichment in PRPF8-related disease was available.
PM1 N/A Not applicable: intronic variant with no codon or residue change, so no mutational hotspot location to evaluate.
PM2 Not met Not met: variant is common (gnomAD v4.1 African/African American AF 14.95%), the opposite of the rarity PM2 requires.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 gnomad_canada
PM3 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected individual with this variant in trans with a pathogenic PRPF8 variant.
PMID:25741868
PM4 N/A Not applicable: single-nucleotide intronic substitution, not an in-frame indel or stop-loss change.
pvs1_variant_assessment spliceai
PM5 N/A Not applicable: no amino acid substitution occurs, so no same-residue missense comparison can be made.
PM6 Not assessed Not assessed: no reported de novo occurrence, with or without confirmed parental identity.
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: no pedigree, segregation, or informative meiosis data were available.
PP2 N/A Not applicable: variant is intronic, not missense, so the missense-based PP2 rule cannot apply.
PP3 Not met Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.135 falls in the inconclusive 0.1-0.2 band, below the >=0.2 splice-altering threshold.
spliceai
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: no phenotype data link this variant to a PRPF8-related disorder.
clinvar
PP5 Not met Not met: no pathogenic or likely pathogenic expert-panel ClinVar assertion exists for this exact variant.
clinvar
BA1 Met Met (stand-alone benign): gnomAD v4.1 African/African American allele frequency 14.95% (875 homozygotes) far exceeds the >5% threshold.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 gnomad_canada PMID:25741868
BS1 N/A Not applicable: BA1 is already met at stand-alone benign strength from the same population-frequency evidence.
gnomad_v4
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: population records lack the phenotype and age data needed to confirm observation in healthy adults.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 gnomad_canada PMID:25741868
BS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no functional assay demonstrating normal splicing or protein function was available.
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no family data showing the variant does not segregate with disease.
BP1 N/A Not applicable: requires a missense variant; this intronic change produces no amino acid alteration.
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: no data establish this variant in cis or in trans with a pathogenic PRPF8 variant.
PMID:25741868
BP3 N/A Not applicable: not an in-frame indel in a repeat region, and no predicted protein length change.
pvs1_variant_assessment
BP4 Not met Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.135 exceeds the <0.1 threshold needed to predict no splice effect.
spliceai
BP5 Not assessed Not assessed: no individual with this variant and a phenotype explained by an alternative diagnosis.
BP6 Not met Not met: no benign or likely benign expert-panel ClinVar assertion exists for this exact variant.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: variant is intronic, not synonymous coding, so the synonymous no-splice-impact rule does not apply.
