synonymous · exon 1

CDKN2A encodes two key proteins, p16(INK4a) and p14(ARF), that help control cell division. p16 blocks the cell cycle by inhibiting CDK4 and CDK6, preventing progression from the G1 to S phase, while p14 stabilizes the tumor suppressor p53 by preventing its degradation. CDKN2A is an important tumor suppressor: it is frequently mutated, deleted, or silenced in many cancers, including melanoma, lymphoma, and pancreatic and lung cancer, and inherited changes in the gene can predispose people to familial melanoma and pancreatic cancer.

This variant

CDKN2A encodes the p16(INK4a) and p14(ARF) tumor-suppressor proteins that regulate cell division and p53 stability, and inherited variants can predispose to familial melanoma and pancreatic cancer.

VUS: PM2 supporting rarity and BP4 supporting lack of predicted splice impact provide opposing evidence without meeting a benign or pathogenic ACMG combination.
Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
CDKN2A c.75A>G synonymous · exon 1

PM2 supporting: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 6.83e-06, below the 0.0001 threshold. BP4 supporting: SpliceAI maximum delta score is 0.006, below the 0.1 threshold for synonymous variants.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
PM2 supporting Pathogenic
Met at supporting strength: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 6.83e-06, below the PM2 threshold of 0.0001, with zero homozygotes.
The case has no applicable CDKN2A-specific VCEP framework; the supplied generic PM2 threshold is AF <=0.0001 at supporting strength.gnomAD v4.1 reports total AF 6.829634155124585e-06 from 11/1,610,628 alleles, highest subpopulation AF 9.32615953837206e-06 in Europeans (non-Finnish), and zero homozygotes.The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and from the available gnomAD v2.1 and v3.1 non-cancer subsets.
BP4 supporting Benign
Met, supporting: synonymous variant SpliceAI max delta 0.006 meets the <=0.1 BP4 threshold.
The normalized consequence is synonymous: NM_000077.5:c.75A>G, NP_000068.1:p.(Val25=).SpliceAI reports a maximum delta score of 0.006.For synonymous variants, SpliceAI is the sole applicable PP3/BP4 path; the supplied generic BP4 supporting threshold is <=0.1, from the SpliceAI calibration of Jaganathan et al. 2019 (PMID:30661751).

PS4 Not assessed: no variant-specific affected-case/control counts or enrichment statistic are available for PS4.
PM3 Not assessed: no affected-proband observation, second pathogenic allele, or documented trans phase is available for NM_000077.5:c.75A>G.
PM6 Not assessed: no presumed de novo observation or affected-proband and parental evidence is documented.
PP1 Not assessed: no affected relatives, informative meioses, or genotype-phenotype segregation data are documented.
PP3 Not met: synonymous variant SpliceAI max delta 0.006 is below the >=0.2 PP3 threshold.
PP4 Not assessed: no patient phenotype or disease-specific phenotype-match evidence is documented for this exact variant.
PP5 Not met: the exact ClinVar record has 0 expert-panel submissions and only non-expert benign assertions.

BA1 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 6.83e-06, far below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05.
BS1 Not met: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 6.83e-06, below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01.
BS2 Not assessed: gnomAD reports zero homozygotes but provides no verified healthy-adult carrier observations required for BS2.
BS3 Not assessed: no validated functional assay, control data, or variant-specific experimental result demonstrated preserved function for c.75A>G (p.Val25=).
BS4 Not assessed: no informative affected or unaffected relatives with genotype and phenotype data are reported.
BP2 Not assessed: no pathogenic partner allele or documented cis/trans phase is reported for NM_000077.5:c.75A>G.
BP5 Not assessed: no established alternative molecular cause is documented to explain the patient's phenotype independently.
BP6 Not met: the exact ClinVar record has 0 expert-panel submissions despite non-expert Benign or Likely benign labels.
BP7 Not assessed: SpliceAI max delta is 0.006, but no evidence establishes that the synonymous position is not highly conserved.
