missense · exon 9

CTNNA1 encodes a member of the catenin protein family that plays a central role in cell adhesion by linking cadherins on the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton; its mechanosensing activity lets cells respond to physical tension and reorganize these connections. Mutations in this gene cause butterfly-shaped pigment dystrophy of the eye. CTNNA1 also acts as a tumor suppressor: its inactivation promotes cellular invasiveness and metastasis, and reduced expression has been observed in several cancers, including bladder cancer, acute myeloid leukemia, and breast cancer.

This variant

CTNNA1 encodes an adhesion-related catenin that links cadherins to the actin cytoskeleton, and its loss of function can promote cellular invasiveness and metastasis.

VUS: BP4 (supporting) is the only applied criterion, and one supporting benign criterion does not meet generic ACMG/AMP thresholds for a benign call.
Classification rationale
BP4 VUS
CTNNA1 c.1193A>G missense · exon 9

BP4 supporting: REVEL 0.079 meets the missense BP4 threshold of <=0.29.

BP4 → VUS
LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
BP4 supporting Benign
Met at supporting strength: missense REVEL score 0.079 meets the BP4 threshold of <=0.29.
The normalized consequence is missense, NP_001894.2:p.(Asn398Ser), so REVEL is the sole applicable PP3/BP4 path.REVEL score is 0.079, meeting the supplied ClinGen SVI BP4 supporting threshold <=0.29 (Pejaver et al. 2022, PMID:36413997).SpliceAI and BayesDel were not used for this missense BP4 assessment; BayesDel has no generic ACMG-strength calibration.

Pathogenic
PS1 PS1 could not be assessed because its agent did not produce valid output.
PS2 Not assessed: parental genotypes and confirmed maternity/paternity are not documented for a de novo CTNNA1 c.1193A>G observation.
PS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific validated functional assay or assay-control result for CTNNA1 p.Asn398Ser was identified.
PS4 Not assessed: no exact-variant case-control enrichment, odds ratio, or adequately documented affected-case series was identified.
PM1 PM1 could not be assessed because its agent did not produce valid output.
PM2 Not met: default all-comers AF is 0.000132166 in gnomAD v4.1, exceeding the 0.0001 PM2 threshold.
PM3 Not assessed: no affected-proband observation with a pathogenic variant and no phase information establishing trans or cis is reported.
PM5 PM5 could not be assessed because its agent did not produce valid output.
PM6 Not assessed: no variant-specific assumed de novo occurrence or family-history context is documented for CTNNA1 c.1193A>G.
PP1 Not assessed: no informative affected or unaffected relatives, meioses, or phenotype-concordant segregation data are reported for CTNNA1 c.1193A>G.
PP2 PP2 could not be assessed because its agent did not produce valid output.
PP3 Not met: missense REVEL score 0.079 is below the PP3 supporting threshold of 0.644.
PP4 Not assessed: no carrier phenotype or highly specific clinical diagnostic finding was supplied for this exact variant.
PP5 Not met: ClinVar has 0 expert-panel submissions for the exact variant, and available laboratory assertions are not qualifying Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic expert-panel evidence.
Benign
BA1 Not met: the highest gnomAD v4.1 subgroup frequency is 0.000467065, far below the 0.05 BA1 threshold.
BS1 Not met: the highest gnomAD v4.1 subgroup frequency is 0.000467065, below the generic 0.01 BS1 threshold.
BS2 Not met: gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 report zero homozygotes, so the BS2 healthy-homozygote observation is absent.
BS3 Not assessed: no validated normal-function assay with appropriate controls for CTNNA1 p.Asn398Ser was identified.
BS4 Not assessed: no adequately tested affected relatives lacking CTNNA1 c.1193A>G are documented for non-segregation.
BP1 BP1 could not be assessed because its agent did not produce valid output.
BP2 Not assessed: no second pathogenic variant or cis/trans phase information is documented for this missense variant.
BP5 Not assessed: no affected case with a documented alternate molecular explanation was supplied for this exact variant.
BP6 Not met: ClinVar has 0 expert-panel submissions; the exact-variant Benign and Likely benign assertions are single-submitter laboratory records.
