MYCN
c.926G>T
p.Gly309Val
missense · exon 3

MYCN is a transcription factor that controls the expression of genes involved in cell growth, division, survival, and metabolism. It is normally active mainly during embryonic development and is largely restricted to cells of the nervous system and a few other tissues. Amplification of MYCN drives cancer, most notably neuroblastoma, and is also seen in medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, and other solid tumors such as breast and small cell lung cancers.

This variant

MYCN amplification drives neuroblastoma and other solid tumors, while germline missense variants at the Thr58/Pro60 phosphodegron cause Megalencephaly-Polydactyly Syndrome. This missense change at residue 309 falls outside those characterized regions and is extremely rare, but without functional or case-level evidence its effect on MYCN's developmental and cancer-related functions cannot be determined, so it remains a variant of uncertain significance.

Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
MYCN c.926G>T missense · exon 3

PM2 (Moderate): variant is extremely rare in gnomAD v4.1 (3/1,614,106 alleles, AF 0.00019%) with no homozygotes. BP4 (Supporting): REVEL score 0.214 falls at or below the 0.290 supporting threshold. Classification: VUS — PM2 (Moderate) plus BP4 (Supporting) does not meet any ACMG/AMP 2015 pathogenic or benign threshold.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
PM2 moderate Pathogenic
Met (Moderate): extremely rare in gnomAD v4.1 — 3/1,614,106 alleles (AF 0.00019%), zero homozygotes.
gnomAD v4.1 reports 3/1,614,106 alleles (AF 0.000185861%), zero homozygotes, East Asian maximum 3/44,876 alleles (AF 0.00668509%), and joint grpmax FAF 0.001773%.The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada v1.0.No MYCN VCEP/CSPEC or local gene-specific framework was retrieved; generic ACMG/AMP fallback is therefore governing.
BP4 supporting Benign
Met (Supporting): REVEL score 0.214 falls at or below the 0.290 BP4-supporting threshold.
REVEL score 0.214 for NM_005378.5:c.926G>T (revel), at/below the ClinGen SVI-recommended REVEL <= 0.290 BP4-supporting threshold from Pejaver et al. 2022 (PMID 36413997); above the <=0.183 moderate threshold, so supporting strength only.SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.01; spliceai), corroborating the benign in-silico signal without additional independent strength.BayesDel score -0.300447 retrieved (bayesdel) but excluded from scoring; no named published calibration threshold available for this pipeline.

Pathogenic
PS1 Not assessed: no ClinVar record exists and no other nucleotide change producing the same p.Gly309Val amino acid change was found.
PS2 Not assessed: no proband phenotype, parental genotypes, or parentage confirmation were provided, so de novo occurrence cannot be established.
PS3 Not assessed: no functional assay evidence for p.Gly309Val (transcriptional activity, dimerization, or proliferation) was identified.
PS4 Not assessed: no case-control or case-enrichment evidence for this variant was supplied.
PM1 Not assessed: residue Gly309 falls in no known mutational hotspot or characterized functional domain of MYCN.
PM3 Not assessed: no pathogenic variant in trans was identified, and MYCN-related Feingold syndrome is autosomal dominant.
PM5 Not assessed: no alternate pathogenic missense change at codon 309 was identified.
PM6 Not assessed: no report of a de novo occurrence without confirmed parentage was provided.
PP1 Not assessed: no affected or unaffected relatives with genotypes were reported, so cosegregation cannot be evaluated.
PP2 Not assessed: MYCN missense pathogenicity is position-dependent, and no gene-level missense constraint statistic was available.
PP3 Not met: REVEL score 0.214 falls well below the 0.644 supporting-pathogenic threshold.
PP4 Not assessed: no proband phenotype or diagnostic context was available for this variant.
PP5 Not met: ClinVar has no exact-variant record, so no expert-panel pathogenic assertion exists.
Benign
BA1 Not met: highest observed frequency is 0.00669% (East Asian gnomAD v4.1), far below the stand-alone benign threshold.
BS1 Not met: highest observed frequency 0.00669% is not above the expected frequency for a rare dominant developmental disorder.
BS2 Not assessed: no homozygotes and no phenotype or age data showing occurrence in unaffected adults.
BS3 Not assessed: no functional assay demonstrating normal activity for p.Gly309Val was identified.
BS4 Not assessed: no informative non-segregation observations were reported.
BP2 Not assessed: no observation of this variant in cis or trans with a pathogenic variant was identified.
BP5 Not assessed: no evidence this variant was observed alongside an alternative cause of disease.
BP6 Not met: ClinVar has no exact-variant record, so no expert-panel benign assertion exists.
