Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
VUS: BP4 (supporting) was met because SpliceAI maximum delta 0.008 is below the <=0.1 threshold for no significant predicted splice impact.
Final determination: Under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback rules, one supporting benign criterion alone does not meet the Likely Benign threshold of two supporting benign criteria, so the result is VUS.

Criterion Status Rationale Evidence used
PVS1 N/A Not applicable: c.454+23C>T is a non-canonical intronic variant with SpliceAI max delta 0.008 and no demonstrated protein-truncating or splice-loss consequence.
pvs1_generic_framework spliceai PMID:25741868
PS1 N/A Not applicable: this intronic variant has unknown protein consequence and is not an amino-acid substitution.
PS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no documented parental testing or confirmed de novo occurrence is available for this variant.
PMID:25741868
PS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no variant-specific validated functional assay or assay result is available for NM_005359.6:c.454+23C>T.
PMID:25741868
PS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no case-control cohort, odds ratio, or exact-variant prevalence comparison is available to establish affected-individual enrichment.
PM1 N/A Not applicable: the intronic variant has unknown protein consequence, so no amino-acid residue can be evaluated for a critical domain or hotspot.
PM2 Not met Not met: gnomAD v4.1 overall AF 0.000302921 exceeds the generic PM2 threshold of 0.0001.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 PMID:25741868
PM3 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-proband observation, second pathogenic variant, phase result, or inheritance information is documented for this intronic SMAD4 variant.
PM4 N/A Not applicable: the intronic SNV has protein consequence p.? and produces no established in-frame insertion, deletion, or protein-length change.
PM5 N/A Not applicable: the intronic variant has unknown protein consequence, so no amino-acid residue exists for PM5 same-residue comparison.
PM6 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected proband with a presumed de novo variant is documented, even without parental confirmation.
PMID:25741868
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: zero informative affected-relative genotypes or meioses are documented for segregation analysis.
PMID:25741868
PP2 N/A Not applicable: PP2 is a missense criterion, whereas this variant is intronic with unknown protein consequence.
PP3 Not met Not met: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.008 is below the >=0.2 supporting PP3 threshold.
spliceai
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: no patient phenotype, clinical diagnosis, or disease-specific family history is available to establish a highly specific phenotype match.
PP5 Not met Not met: the exact ClinVar record has zero expert-panel submissions and only single-submitter Likely benign assertions.
clinvar
BA1 Not met Not met: the highest default all-comers gnomAD v4.1 population AF is 0.005251535, below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 PMID:25741868
BS1 Not met Not met: the highest default all-comers gnomAD v4.1 population AF is 0.005251535, below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: one gnomAD homozygote is reported, but age, phenotype, and clinical health of that individual are unavailable.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no variant-specific validated functional assay or assay result is available to demonstrate preserved function for NM_005359.6:c.454+23C>T.
PMID:25741868
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-family testing or documented non-segregation observation is available for this variant.
PMID:25741868
BP1 N/A Not applicable: BP1 concerns missense variants, but this submitted variant is intronic with unknown protein consequence.
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: no additional pathogenic variant or validated cis/trans phase result is documented for this intronic SMAD4 variant.
BP3 N/A Not applicable: c.454+23C>T is an intronic SNV, not an in-frame deletion in a repetitive protein region.
BP4 Met Met, supporting: SpliceAI maximum delta 0.008 is below the <=0.1 BP4 threshold.
spliceai
BP5 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-individual phenotype or confirmed alternate molecular diagnosis is documented for this exact variant.
BP6 Not met Not met: the exact ClinVar record has zero expert-panel submissions and only single-submitter Likely benign assertions.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: c.454+23C>T is intronic, not a synonymous coding variant eligible for BP7.
