Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
VUS: BP4 supporting is met because the missense REVEL score is 0.081, below the 0.29 cutoff.
Final determination: Under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback rules, one supporting benign criterion alone satisfies neither the benign nor likely benign combination thresholds, so the final call is 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: 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: the evidence documents c.1024A>G itself but no different nucleotide change producing the same p.Ser342Gly amino-acid change.
PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394 PMID:25853332 PMID:32675303
PS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no proband-level de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity and no family history is documented.
PS3 Not assessed Not assessed: direct assays either showed weaker S342G-alone lysis or tested the combined S342G/I384M G1 haplotype rather than the queried substitution alone.
PMID:20647424 PMID:25853332 PMID:32675303
PS4 Not met Not met: the exact S342G-only comparison gives OR 2.32 (95% CI 0.81-6.69), below the >5.0 threshold with a CI including 1.0.
PMID:21997394 PMID:20647424
PM1 Not met Not met: S342G is discussed in an SRA-interacting region, but no residue-bounded critical domain without benign variation or hotspot evidence is established.
PMID:25853332 PMID:30332315 hotspots cosmic gnomad_v4
PM2 Not met Not met: gnomAD all-comers AF is 1.14% in v4.1 and 2.11% in v2.1, far above the <=0.01% PM2 threshold.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4
PM3 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-proband observation documents APOL1 p.Ser342Gly in trans with a qualifying pathogenic variant or establishes phase by parental or offspring testing.
PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394
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 met Not met: the evidence identifies p.Ser342Gly itself but no different pathogenic missense substitution at residue 342.
PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394 PMID:25853332 PMID:32675303 clinvar
PM6 Not assessed Not assessed: no clinical assumed-de novo observation is reported with parental testing information insufficient for confirmation.
PP1 Not assessed Not assessed: no pedigree-based segregation is reported, and the seven cases versus seven controls were not affected relatives with informative meioses.
PMID:21997394
PP2 Not assessed Not assessed: APOL1 missense risk alleles are documented, but no gene-wide evidence establishes a low rate of benign missense variation.
PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394 PMID:32675303
PP3 Not met Not met: missense REVEL score 0.081 is below the generic PP3 supporting threshold of 0.644.
revel
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: no individual phenotype or family history is provided to determine whether the presentation is highly specific for a single-genetic-etiology disease.
PMID:21997394 PMID:20647424
PP5 Not met Not met: ClinVar shows conflicting laboratory assertions but no exact-variant expert-panel pathogenic or likely pathogenic classification.
clinvar
BA1 Not assessed Not assessed: grpmax FAF is 22.6%, but APOL1 G1 is an incompletely penetrant kidney-disease risk allele with conflicting clinical classifications.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4 clinvar PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394 PMID:30332315
BS1 Not assessed Not assessed: grpmax FAF is 22.6%, but APOL1 G1 is a common ancestry-enriched, incompletely penetrant risk allele requiring disorder-specific frequency calibration.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4 clinvar PMID:21997394 PMID:30332315
BS2 N/A Not applicable: APOL1 G1 kidney-disease risk is recessive and incompletely penetrant, so gnomAD homozygotes do not establish healthy adults with early full penetrance.
gnomad_v2 gnomad_v4 PMID:30332315 PMID:21997394
BS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no well-established assay showed normal APOL1 function or splicing for S342G, and reduced S342G-alone lysis is not evidence of benignity.
PMID:20647424 PMID:25853332 PMID:32675303
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: no affected-family pedigree shows absence of the variant, and cohort association data cannot establish non-segregation.
PMID:21997394 PMID:25993319
BP1 Not assessed Not assessed: available evidence shows APOL1 missense risk alleles but lacks a systematic gene-wide comparison proving whether truncating variants primarily cause disease.
PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394 PMID:25853332 PMID:32675303
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: p.Ser342Gly is reported in cis with p.Ile384Met, but p.Ile384Met is not established as a qualifying pathogenic variant and no qualifying dominant observation is documented.
PMID:20647424 PMID:21997394
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 Met Met, supporting: missense REVEL score 0.081 is below the generic BP4 supporting cutoff of 0.29.
revel
BP5 Not assessed Not assessed: no alternate molecular diagnosis is documented for the patient carrying this variant.
BP6 Not met Not met: ClinVar has no exact-variant expert-panel benign or likely benign classification and instead reports conflicting laboratory submissions.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: BP7 requires a synonymous variant, and this is a missense variant.
