Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
Pathogenic: PS4 strong is supported by 11/173 affected cases versus 0/238,624 gnomAD alleles.
2
Pathogenic: PS3 moderate functional studies show increased FGFR3 dimerization, phosphorylation, and mutant-dependent growth.
3
Pathogenic: PP3 moderate is supported by REVEL 0.902.
4
Pathogenic: PM2 supporting is supported by absence from gnomAD v4.1 and AF 0 in gnomAD v2.1.
5
Pathogenic: PM6 supporting is supported by an exact-variant de novo report without confirmed maternity and paternity.
Final determination: Under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback, one Strong pathogenic criterion plus two Moderate and two Supporting pathogenic criteria supports a Pathogenic classification.
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: PVS1 requires a null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical splice, start-loss or stop-loss), and this is a missense variant.
pvs1_generic_framework generic_acmg_combination_rules
PS1 Not met Not met: only c.746C>G is documented for pathogenic FGFR3 p.Ser249Cys, with no distinct nucleotide change producing the same amino-acid substitution.
PMID:25614871 PMID:25606676 PMID:17384684 clinvar
PS2 Not met Not met: the variant was reported de novo in affected subject P18, but both maternity and paternity were not confirmed.
PMID:30692697
PS3 Met Met at moderate strength: S249C increased FGFR3 dimerization and phosphorylation, while knockdown reduced mutant-dependent growth and re-expression rescued it.
PMID:17384684 PMID:25606676
PS4 Met Met: 11/173 cases versus 0/238624 gnomAD alleles gives corrected OR 33983.67, 95% CI 1994.12-579146.64, exceeding 5 with the interval above 1.
PMID:25614871 gnomad_v2
PM1 Not assessed Not assessed: a hotspot is reported, but no VCEP-authorized hotspot route or complete evidence for a critical domain without benign variation is available under generic PM1.
PMID:25614871 clinvar
PM2 Met Met at supporting strength: AF was 0 (0/238,624 alleles; 0 homozygotes) in gnomAD v2.1 all-comers exomes and absent from gnomAD v4.1.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4 PMID:25741868
PM3 N/A Not applicable: the cited FGFR3 skeletal dysplasias are autosomal dominant, whereas PM3 is restricted to recessive disorders.
PMID:15772091
PM4 N/A Not applicable: PM4 requires a protein-length change, and this is a missense variant.
pvs1_generic_framework generic_acmg_combination_rules
PM5 Not assessed Not assessed: no different pathogenic missense substitution at FGFR3 residue 249 is documented, and the PM5 candidate review found zero same-residue comparators.
pm5_candidates PMID:25614871 clinvar
PM6 Met Met at supporting strength: subject P18 had the exact variant and phenotype-consistent thanatophoric dysplasia, reported as de novo without confirmed maternity and paternity.
PMID:30692697
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected relatives or informative family meioses are reported for the exact variant.
PP2 Not assessed Not assessed: missense disease biology is documented, but no gene-level benign-missense rate demonstrates the two required PP2 conditions together.
PMID:25614871 PMID:17384684 PMID:25606676
PP3 Met Met at moderate strength: REVEL 0.902 meets the generic PP3 moderate threshold of >=0.773 for this missense variant.
revel
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: the evaluated patient's phenotype and family history are not provided, so disease specificity cannot be judged.
PP5 Not met Not met: ClinVar has no expert-panel submission, and the supporting literature is available for independent evaluation.
clinvar
BA1 Not met Not met: gnomAD v2.1 all-comers exome AF was 0 (0/238,624), below the generic BA1 threshold of >=0.05.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS1 Not met Not met: observed AF was 0 in gnomAD v2.1 all-comers exomes and the variant was absent from v4.1, below the generic BS1 default of >=0.01.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: gnomAD showed 0 homozygotes, but no individual-level healthy adult observation or adult health-status evidence was available.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS3 Not met Not met: variant-specific assays showed stable dimerization, higher phosphorylation, and mutant-dependent growth rather than no damaging effect.
PMID:17384684 PMID:25606676
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected family members were evaluated for presence or absence of the variant.
BP1 Not met Not met: FGFR3 disease evidence centers on recurrent activating missense variants, including p.Ser249Cys, rather than primarily truncating variants.
PMID:25614871 PMID:17384684 PMID:25606676
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-proband report establishes a pathogenic FGFR3 variant in cis or trans with c.746C>G.
PMID:17384684
BP3 N/A Not applicable: BP3 requires an in-frame indel in a repeat region, and this is a missense variant.
pvs1_generic_framework generic_acmg_combination_rules
BP4 Not met Not met: REVEL 0.902 exceeds the generic BP4 supporting cutoff of <=0.29 for this missense variant.
revel
BP5 Not assessed Not assessed: no patient-level evidence shows an alternate molecular diagnosis explaining the evaluated case.
BP6 Not met Not met: no exact-variant ClinVar expert-panel benign or likely benign classification is present.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: BP7 requires a synonymous variant, and this is a missense variant.
