Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): extremely rare in population databases (gnomAD v4.1 AF 1.86e-06, 0 homozygotes), below the 0.1% rarity threshold.
2
BP4 (Supporting): SpliceAI max delta 0.037 predicts no splice impact, below the <0.1 benign-splice threshold.
3
VUS: the single supporting pathogenic factor (PM2) conflicts with the single supporting benign factor (BP4), which does not reach any LP/LB or P/B combination.
Final determination:
Only 1 Supporting pathogenic (PM2) + 1 Supporting benign (BP4) are met, insufficient for any Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic or Benign/Likely Benign combination under the custom POLE framework's ACMG/AMP 2015 thresholds.
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: synonymous change creates no loss-of-function variant, and SpliceAI max delta 0.04 shows no splice impact. |
pvs1_variant_assessment
pvs1_generic_framework
spliceai
|
| PS1 | N/A | Not applicable: variant is synonymous, so there is no amino acid change to compare against known pathogenic missense changes. |
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no parental testing or de novo confirmation was available for this variant. |
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional assay data demonstrating an abnormal effect (e.g., polymerase activity or RNA studies) were available. |
|
| PS4 | Not met | Not met: variant is reported only three times in COSMIC, below the required combined count of 10 with TCGA recurrence. |
vcep_path_250_323
vcep_path_250_323_s002
|
| PM1 | N/A | Not applicable: variant lies outside the exonuclease-domain hotspot (approximately amino acids 268-471) and is synonymous. |
vcep_path_250_323
|
| PM2 | Met | Met (Supporting): extremely rare in gnomAD v4.1 at AF 1.86e-06 (3/1,614,022 alleles), below the 0.1% rarity threshold. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no phase-resolved biallelic or in-trans genotype evidence was available. |
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: synonymous substitution does not alter protein length. |
pvs1_variant_assessment
|
| PM5 | N/A | Not applicable: no amino acid change, so there is no novel missense to compare at codon 1425. |
pm5_candidates
|
| PM6 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no de novo observation or parental testing was documented. |
|
| PP1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no segregation or pedigree data were available. |
|
| PP2 | N/A | Not applicable: PP2 applies to missense variants only; this variant is synonymous. |
|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: SpliceAI max delta 0.037 is below the >0.2 supporting-pathogenic splice threshold. |

|
| PP4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no proband phenotype or tumor characteristics were provided. |
|
| PP5 | Not met | Not met: the ClinVar Likely benign label rests on two single-submitter submissions, with no expert-panel review. |

|
| BA1 | Not met | Not met: gnomAD v4.1 AF 1.86e-06 is far below the stand-alone benign high-frequency threshold. |

| BS1 | Not met | Not met: highest population AF 2.54e-06 (European non-Finnish) is below the benign frequency threshold. |
gnomad_v4
gnomad_v2
gnomad_canada
|
| BS2 | Not met | Not met: no homozygotes are reported in gnomAD v2.1 or v4.1, so no benign homozygote evidence exists. |

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional data demonstrating normal protein function were available. |
|
| BS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no unaffected relatives or segregation data were documented. |
|
| BP1 | N/A | Not applicable: BP1 applies to missense variants; this variant is synonymous. |
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no phase-resolved observation with a pathogenic variant was available. |
|
| BP3 | N/A | Not applicable: variant is a single-nucleotide substitution, not an in-frame indel. |
pvs1_variant_assessment
|
| BP4 | Met | Met (Supporting): SpliceAI max delta 0.037 is below the <0.1 benign-splice threshold. |

|
| BP5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no alternate molecular cause or phenotype data were provided. |
|
| BP6 | Not met | Not met: the ClinVar Likely benign label comes from two single-submitter laboratories, not an expert panel. |
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | Not applicable: applying it would double-count the same SpliceAI evidence already used for BP4. |
