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.
cspec gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4 gnomad_canada
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 gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4 gnomad_canada
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.
