Classification rationale
Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
PM2 (Supporting): the exact variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0.
2
Overall classification: VUS - PM2 at Supporting strength is the only met criterion and satisfies no ACMG/AMP 2015 Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic combination.
Final determination:
Under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback, one supporting pathogenic criterion alone meets no pathogenic, likely pathogenic, benign, or likely benign combination and is classified as VUS.

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: the ClinGen Brain Malformations VCEP excludes PVS1 because PIK3CA brain malformations arise from gain-of-function, not loss of function. |
cspec
|
| PS1 | N/A | Not applicable: PS1 requires the same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant, but a frameshift produces no amino acid change to compare. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PS2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no proband phenotype, parental genotypes, or de novo testing results were available, so de novo occurrence cannot be evaluated. |
cspec
|
| PS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no validated variant-specific functional assay or animal-model evidence was available. |
cspec
|
| PS4 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no affected cerebral-malformation cases, case-control data, or phenotype-point evidence for this exact variant were available. |
cspec
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
|
| PM1 | N/A | Not applicable: PM1 requires a missense change in a mutational hotspot; this frameshift produces no altered residue to evaluate. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM2 | Met | Met (Supporting): the exact variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0. Flagged for human review: indel population calls may be unreliable and coverage/quality metrics were not available. |

|
| PM3 | N/A | Not applicable: PM3 is reserved for recessive disorders, whereas PIK3CA brain-malformation variants are heterozygous. |
cspec
|
| PM4 | N/A | Not applicable: PM4 is defined for in-frame insertions/deletions and stop-loss extensions; this frameshift does not meet that structural premise. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM5 | N/A | Not applicable: PM5 requires a missense change at a residue where a different pathogenic missense is established; a frameshift produces no missense change. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PM6 | N/A | Not applicable: per the VCEP, de novo evidence is addressed through PS2, not PM6. |
cspec
|
| PP1 | N/A | Not applicable: per the VCEP, co-segregation does not apply to variants that arise de novo or as germline or post-zygotic mosaics. |
cspec
|
| PP2 | N/A | Not applicable: PP2 is defined for missense variants in genes with low benign missense variation; this frameshift has no missense change. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| PP3 | N/A | Not applicable: the VCEP excludes PP3 because prediction tools target loss-of-function, while PIK3CA brain malformations are gain-of-function. |
cspec
|
| PP4 | N/A | Not applicable: the VCEP accounts for phenotype evidence under PS4. |
cspec
|
| PP5 | N/A | Not applicable: the VCEP does not use PP5, and no ClinVar record for this exact variant exists. |
cspec
clinvar
|
| BA1 | Not met | Not met: the variant is absent (frequency 0) from all gnomAD sources, far below the VCEP BA1 threshold of >0.0926%. |
cspec
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
gnomad_canada
|
| BS1 | Not met | Not met: the variant is absent from gnomAD, far below the VCEP BS1 threshold of >0.0185%. |
cspec
gnomad_v2
gnomad_v4
gnomad_canada
|
| BS2 | Not met | Not met: BS2 requires at least 3 gnomAD homozygotes or 3 heterozygous well-phenotyped relatives; the variant is absent from gnomAD with no such family observations. |
cspec

|
| BS3 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no functional assay or animal-model evidence demonstrating absence of a damaging effect was available. |
cspec
|
| BS4 | N/A | Not applicable: per the VCEP, lack of segregation (BS4) does not apply because these variants are de novo, germline mosaic, or post-zygotic. |
cspec
|
| BP1 | N/A | Not applicable: BP1 is defined for missense variants in genes where truncating variants cause disease; this frameshift has no missense change. |
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| BP2 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no genotype data, second PIK3CA variant, or phase information was available to assess cis/trans status with a pathogenic allele. |
cspec
|
| BP3 | N/A | Not applicable: BP3 is defined for in-frame indels in repetitive regions; this frameshift is outside its scope. |
pvs1_generic_framework
generic_acmg_combination_rules
|
| BP4 | N/A | Not applicable: BP4 is restricted to synonymous, intronic, or non-coding variants; this exonic frameshift is ineligible. |
cspec
|
| BP5 | Not assessed | Not assessed: no individual carrying this variant with an alternate molecular diagnosis was reported. |
cspec
|
| BP6 | N/A | Not applicable: the VCEP does not use BP6, and no ClinVar record for this exact variant exists. |
cspec
clinvar
|
| BP7 | N/A | Not applicable: BP7 is defined for synonymous variants with no predicted splice impact; this frameshift changes the protein sequence. |
