Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PVS1 (Very Strong): frameshift creates a premature stop at residue ~147, upstream of p.Lys351, predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated decay.
2
PM2 (Supporting): variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, consistent with an allele frequency below the 0.00003 threshold.
3
Synthesis: 9 points under the TP53 VCEP v2.4 point framework (PVS1 +8, PM2 +1) fall in the 6-9 range, giving Likely Pathogenic (Rule 2).
Final determination:
TP53 VCEP v2.4 Tavtigian point-based rules: total point value of 9 (PVS1 very strong = 8 points + PM2 supporting = 1 point) falls within the Rule2 range (>=6 and <=9), yielding Likely Pathogenic.

All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | Met | Met (Very Strong): 2-bp frameshift deletion creates a premature stop at residue ~147, upstream of p.Lys351, predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated decay. |

|
| PS1 | N/A | Not applicable: PS1 compares missense substitutions with the same amino acid change; this variant is a frameshift deletion, not a missense. |
cspec
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no proband phenotype or parental-testing data was available to establish a confirmed de novo occurrence. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | N/A | Not applicable: eligible functional assays cover only missense and in-frame deletions, and no assay data exists for this frameshift. |

| PS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no variant-specific germline proband phenotypes were available to assign Li-Fraumeni syndrome cancer points. |
cspec

|
| PM1 | N/A | Not applicable: PM1 covers missense variants at six designated hotspot codons; this frameshift at codon 89 is neither missense nor a hotspot codon. |
cspec
|
| PM2 | Met | Met (Supporting): variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, consistent with an allele frequency below the 0.00003 threshold. |

|
| PM3 | N/A | Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP specification explicitly states PM3 does not apply to TP53/Li-Fraumeni syndrome. |
cspec
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: the TP53 framework excludes PM4, and this out-of-frame deletion is adjudicated entirely by the PVS1 pathway. |
cspec
|
| PM5 | N/A | Not applicable: PM5 compares missense changes at the same residue by Grantham distance; a frameshift has no single amino acid to compare. |
cspec
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | N/A | Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP discontinued PM6 and uses PS2 exclusively for de novo evidence. |
cspec
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no affected relatives, variant-positive family members, or meiosis counts were available for cosegregation analysis. |
cspec

|
| PP2 | N/A | Not applicable: the TP53 VCEP v2.4 specification marks PP2 as not applicable at all strength levels. |
cspec
|
| PP3 | N/A | Not applicable: PP3 in silico tools apply only to missense, synonymous, and in-frame deletion variants; this frameshift falls outside that scope. |
