Interpretation summary
Generated evidence synthesis
1
Pathogenic: PS1 strong supports the identical previously established pathogenic p.Asp868Asn change.
2
Pathogenic: PS2 strong supports confirmed de novo occurrence in four affected patients.
3
Pathogenic: PS3 strong supports damaging gain-of-function effects in complementary exact-variant assays.
4
Pathogenic: PS4 strong supports marked enrichment in affected individuals versus controls.
5
Pathogenic: PM1 moderate places Asp868 in the established SETBP1 disease-associated hotspot.
6
Pathogenic: PM2 supporting reflects the extremely low gnomAD v4.1 filtering allele frequency.
Final determination: Under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 fallback, two strong pathogenic criteria satisfy the Pathogenic rule; PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 provide four strong criteria, with additional PM1 moderate and PM2 supporting evidence.
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 Met Met: the identical SETBP1 p.Asp868Asn change was previously reported in four affected individuals and is Pathogenic in ClinVar variation 1032.
clinvar PMID:20436468 PMID:25741868
PS2 Met Met: G2602A/p.D868N was de novo in four affected patients, with parentage confirmed by short tandem repeat analysis in all available case-parent trios.
PMID:20436468
PS3 Met Met, strong: HEK293, patient-fibroblast, and murine progenitor assays consistently showed increased SETBP1 stability, proliferation, or immortalization for exact D868N.
PMID:28346496 PMID:23832012
PS4 Met Met: exact variant occurred in 4/13 affected individuals versus 0/94 controls; continuity-corrected OR=89.53 with 95% CI 4.47-1792.77, exceeding 5 and excluding 1.
PMID:20436468 gnomad_v4
PM1 Met Met: Asp868 lies within the established SETBP1 Glu858-Ile871 hotspot, while gnomAD v4.1 shows AF 3.09815e-06 and zero homozygotes.
PMID:23222956 PMID:28346496 gnomad_v4 PMID:25741868
PM2 Met Met at supporting: gnomAD v4.1 AF is 3.09815e-06 and grpmax FAF is 1.24e-06, both below the PM2 threshold of 0.0001.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 PMID:25741868
PM3 N/A Not applicable: SETBP1-related Schinzel-Giedion syndrome is autosomal dominant, whereas PM3 is restricted to recessive disorders.
PMID:25663181 PMID:20436468
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 SETBP1 residue Asp868 was established in the available evidence.
pm5_candidates PMID:23222956 PMID:28346496 PMID:25741868
PM6 Not met Not met: Parentage was confirmed in all available case-parent trios, so the variant is not merely assumed de novo without parental confirmation.
PMID:20436468
PP1 N/A Not applicable: The variant was recurrently de novo, with no multiple affected family members providing informative cosegregation data.
PMID:20436468
PP2 Not assessed Not assessed: missense disease mechanisms are documented, but no validated SETBP1 benign-missense rate is available for the required PP2 combination.
PMID:20436468 PMID:23222956 PMID:28346496 PMID:25741868
PP3 Not met Not met: missense REVEL is 0.476, below the generic PP3 supporting threshold of 0.644.
revel
PP4 Not assessed Not assessed: the patient's phenotype and family history are not documented sufficiently to determine whether they are highly specific for a single-gene disease.
PP5 Not met Not met: ClinVar has zero exact-variant expert-panel submissions, so ordinary Pathogenic laboratory assertions cannot trigger PP5.
clinvar
BA1 Not met Not met: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 1.24e-06, far below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 clinvar PMID:25741868
BS1 Not met Not met: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 1.24e-06, below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01 and not supported by a higher credible disease frequency.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2 PMID:25741868
BS2 Not assessed Not assessed: gnomAD v4.1 reports zero homozygotes, but no documented healthy adult carrying the variant is available for the BS2 rule.
gnomad_v4 gnomad_v2
BS3 Not met Not met: exact D868N assays showed increased SETBP1 stability and cellular growth, with no study demonstrating normal protein function or splicing.
PMID:28346496 PMID:23832012 PMID:23222956 PMID:20436468
BS4 Not assessed Not assessed: No affected relatives were reported as tested noncarriers, so lack of segregation cannot be evaluated.
PMID:20436468
BP1 Not met Not met: SETBP1 has a documented recurrent missense gain-of-function mechanism, including p.Asp868Asn, rather than primarily truncating disease.
PMID:20436468 PMID:23222956 PMID:28346496 PMID:25741868
BP2 Not assessed Not assessed: affected individuals had heterozygous de novo D868N, but no pathogenic second allele or cis/trans phase observation was reported.
PMID:20436468
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 is 0.476, above the generic BP4 supporting cutoff of 0.29.
revel
BP5 Not assessed Not assessed: somatic reports of p.Asp868Asn do not establish an alternate molecular basis for this patient's disease.
PMID:23222956 PMID:23832012 cosmic
BP6 Not met Not met: no exact-variant ClinVar expert-panel Benign or Likely benign classification is present; available submissions are Pathogenic or non-expert.
clinvar
BP7 N/A Not applicable: BP7 requires a synonymous variant, and this is a missense variant.
