Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
Pathogenic support: PS3 moderate, based on variant-specific GNAS R201H activation and pancreatic phenotypes in vivo.
2
Pathogenic support: PM1 moderate, because GNAS residue R201 is a recurrent activating mutational hotspot.
3
Pathogenic support: PM2 supporting, because gnomAD v4.1 frequency is 2.4797e-05 and below the 0.0001 threshold.
4
Pathogenic support: PM6 supporting, because the exact variant was reported as a postzygotic mosaic mutation without confirmed parental testing.
5
Pathogenic support: PP3 strong, because REVEL 0.969 exceeds the 0.932 strong threshold.
Final determination: Under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback, one strong-equivalent criterion plus two moderate and two supporting pathogenic criteria yields Pathogenic; no benign rule is satisfied.
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 assessed Not assessed: the record confirms p.Arg201His but does not document a different nucleotide change producing the same amino-acid substitution.
PMID:1594625
PS2 Not met Not met: the variant was postzygotic mosaic, with no documented confirmation of both maternity and paternity required for PS2.
PMID:1594625
PS3 Met Met, moderate: exact GNAS R201H mice showed elevated cAMP, activated PKA signaling, and tumors in 8/8 combined-model mice, with survival P<0.001.
PMID:26257060
PS4 Not assessed Not assessed: gnomAD provides 40/1,613,098 control alleles, but no paired affected-case frequency is available to calculate the required OR >5.0 and confidence interval.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
PM1 Met Met, moderate: R201 is a statistically significant GNAS hotspot, with all cohort GNAS mutations confined to R201 and gnomAD v4.1 AF 2.4797e-05.
hotspots PMID:24855271 gnomad_v4
PM2 Met Met at supporting strength: gnomAD v4.1 AF is 2.4797e-05, below the <=0.0001 PM2 supporting threshold, with zero homozygotes.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
PM3 N/A Not applicable: PM3 requires a recessive disorder and a pathogenic variant confirmed in trans, neither of which is established for this mosaic activating GNAS variant.
PMID:1594625
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: p.Arg201Cys and p.Arg201Gly are same-residue comparators, but their established pathogenic status is not documented in the available evidence.
PMID:24855271 clinvar
PM6 Met Met, supporting: the exact variant was reported as a postzygotic mosaic mutation in an affected patient without confirmed parental testing.
PMID:1594625
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: no multiple affected relatives or informative cosegregation data were reported for this mosaic variant.
PMID:1594625
PP2 Not assessed Not assessed: recurrent GNAS missense activation is shown, but gene-wide low benign missense variation is not established.
PMID:24855271 PMID:26257060 PMID:28868010 gnomad_v4
PP3 Met Met strong PP3: missense REVEL score 0.969 meets the >=0.932 strong threshold.
revel
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: the current patient's phenotype and family history are not supplied, so specificity for a single genetic etiology cannot be judged.
PMID:15126527
PP5 Not met Not met: the exact ClinVar record has zero expert-panel submissions, so its non-expert Pathogenic label cannot trigger PP5.
clinvar
BA1 Not met Not met: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 2.4797e-05, far below the 0.05 BA1 threshold.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS1 Not met Not met: the maximum observed gnomAD v4.1 ancestry frequency is 6.75676e-05, below the generic 0.01 BS1 threshold.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: gnomAD shows zero homozygotes but does not document healthy adult status, age, or full early-age penetrance.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
BS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no well-established no-effect assay was identified, while the available variant-specific model showed constitutive activation and elevated cAMP.
PMID:26257060
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected relatives were tested, so no informative lack-of-segregation result is available.
PMID:1594625
BP1 Not met Not met: GNAS disease evidence centers on activating missense variants, including R201H, not primarily truncating variants.
PMID:26257060 PMID:28868010 PMID:24855271
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: no pathogenic second variant or phase result establishes the required cis or trans relationship for BP2.
PMID:1594625
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: missense REVEL score 0.969 exceeds the <=0.29 BP4 supporting threshold.
revel
BP5 Not met Not met: no same-case alternate molecular basis is documented alongside the variant; the KrasG12D evidence is from a mouse model.
PMID:28868010 PMID:26257060
BP6 Not met Not met: no exact-variant ClinVar expert-panel Benign or Likely benign classification is present, and expert-panel submissions total zero.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: BP7 requires a synonymous variant, and this is a missense variant.
