Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
BS1 (Supporting): gnomAD South Asian allele frequency 0.338-0.395% exceeds the 0.3% benign-frequency threshold but remains below the 1% BA1 cutoff.
2
Overall classification VUS: with BS1 as the only met criterion, no pathogenic criterion applies and the benign combinations (one strong plus one supporting, or two supporting) are not satisfied.
Final determination:
Under the local custom POLE gene framework (León-Castillo et al. 2020), which retains standard ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination logic, only BS1 (supporting) is met; BA1 is not met and the benign combinations (2 Strong benign; 1 Strong benign + 1 Supporting benign; >=2 Supporting benign) are unsatisfied with only one supporting benign criterion, while no pathogenic combination is approached, so the variant is classified as Uncertain Significance.

Criteria shown when status is available
All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | Not met | Not met: this missense change (p.Pro1582Ser) is not a null variant such as nonsense, frameshift, or splice-site disruption. |

|
| PS1 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no previously established pathogenic variant producing the same amino acid change (p.Pro1582Ser) via a different nucleotide change was available. |

|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no parental testing or confirmed de novo occurrence was available to support this criterion. |

PMID:25394175
|
| PS3 | Not met | Not met: no functional assay evidence exists for this variant; OncoKB lists it as having unknown oncogenic effect. |
|
| PS4 | Not met | Not met: only one somatic occurrence in COSMIC, well below the required recurrent count of at least 10, with no case-control enrichment. |

|
| PM1 | Not met | Not met: residue 1582 lies outside the exonuclease-domain hotspot region (~amino acids 268-471) and is not a statistically significant hotspot. |

|
| PM3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no data show the variant in trans with a pathogenic POLE variant. |
|
| PM4 | Not met | Not met: p.Pro1582Ser is a single amino-acid substitution with no protein-length alteration. |

|
| PM5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no different pathogenic missense change at codon 1582 was available as a comparator. |

|
| PP3 | Not met | Not met: REVEL score 0.564 is below the ≥0.773 supporting threshold, and SpliceAI predicts no splice impact. |

| BP4 | Not met | Not met: REVEL score 0.564 is above the ≤0.290 benign threshold, and one benign splice prediction alone is insufficient. |
