Reasoning
BA1 is met under the generic ACMG/AMP stand-alone threshold. The variant's filtering allele frequency is 0.101387 in gnomAD v2.1 and 0.103585 in gnomAD v4.1, both above the supplied generic BA1 threshold of 0.05. These are grpmax FAF values, not popmax point estimates, and the corresponding highest-frequency African/African American groups have 15,264 and 73,224 observed alleles, respectively, exceeding the 2,000-observed-allele requirement. No pathogenic ClinVar consensus is documented in this case; ClinVar submissions are benign or likely benign, risk factor, uncertain significance, other, or drug response. The high frequency is therefore not contradicted by a documented pathogenic consensus that would require withholding BA1.
Rule
Allele frequency is above 5% in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes or Exome Aggregation Consortium.
Evidence considered
- gnomAD v2.1 reports AF 0.065422, 10,996/168,078 alleles, 465 homozygotes, and grpmax FAF 0.101387; the highest-frequency African/African American group has 1,632/15,264 alleles.
- gnomAD v4.1 reports AF 0.0742402, 114,390/1,540,810 alleles, 4,609 homozygotes, and grpmax FAF 0.103585; the highest-frequency African/African American group has 7,729/73,224 alleles.
- The supplied generic BA1 calibration is >=0.05, identified in the prompt as the ACMG/AMP 2015 stand-alone benign allele-frequency threshold (PMID:25741868).
- ClinVar case evidence lists four likely benign submissions, two benign submissions, one risk-factor submission, one uncertain-significance submission, one other submission, and a drug-response expert-panel classification; no pathogenic consensus is documented.
