Gene context NCBI Gene ↗

KLLN encodes a small nuclear protein that binds DNA and inhibits DNA synthesis, halting cells in the S phase of the cell cycle and steering them toward programmed cell death (apoptosis). Its production is switched on by p53, a central tumor-suppressor protein, placing KLLN within a key growth-control pathway. Through this growth-suppressing and apoptosis-promoting activity, KLLN is considered part of the cell's natural defense against cancer, though no specific inherited disease syndrome is firmly tied to the gene.

This variant

KLLN encodes a p53-regulated nuclear protein involved in DNA synthesis inhibition and apoptosis, placing this variant in a key cellular growth-control pathway.

VUS: PM2 supporting and BP4 supporting provide conflicting evidence without meeting any generic ACMG/AMP 2015 classification threshold.
Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
KLLN c.136T>G missense · exon 1

PM2 supporting: gnomAD frequencies are below 0.0001. BP4 supporting: REVEL 0.124 is below the 0.29 threshold.

PM2 + BP4 → VUS
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 overall AF is 8.38204e-06, below the generic PM2 threshold of 0.0001.
Generic ACMG/AMP PM2 definition and supplied SVI supporting threshold: AF <=0.0001; the threshold is identified in the case data as the ClinGen SVI 2020 recommendation to downgrade PM2 to supporting (PMID:25741868).gnomAD v2.1 exomes report AF 1.29808e-05 (2/154074 alleles; zero homozygotes), with highest subgroup AF 8.78194e-05 in South Asian individuals.gnomAD v4.1 reports AF 8.38204e-06 (13/1550936 alleles; zero homozygotes), with highest subgroup AF 5.94983e-05 in South Asian individuals; all values are <=0.0001.
BP4 supporting Benign
Met, supporting: missense REVEL 0.124 meets the <=0.29 generic BP4 supporting threshold.
NM_001126049.2:c.136T>G is an exonic missense variant producing NP_001119521.1:p.(Phe46Val), so only REVEL is applicable for this criterion.The local REVEL lookup reports 0.124 for the variant (source_registry key: revel).The supplied generic calibration assigns BP4 supporting at REVEL <= 0.29; this threshold is from the ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration (Pejaver et al. 2022, PMID:36413997).

Pathogenic
PS1 Not assessed: no verified pathogenic alternate nucleotide change producing p.Phe46Val at residue 46 was supplied.
PS2 Not assessed: no documented de novo observation with confirmed maternity and paternity, disease-consistent proband phenotype, and absent family history.
PS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific, validated in vitro or in vivo assay evidence established a damaging effect for KLLN p.Phe46Val.
PS4 Not assessed: no case-control odds ratio or relative risk with a confidence interval excluding 1.0 is available for this variant.
PM1 Not assessed: no authoritative critical-domain annotation covers KLLN F46, and no statistically significant F46 hotspot was reported.
PM3 Not assessed: no affected-proband observation, pathogenic partner, inheritance model, or parental/offspring phase testing is documented.
PM5 Not assessed: no different missense change at KLLN residue 46 was verified as pathogenic.
PM6 Not assessed: no documented assumed-de-novo observation or parental testing information is available for this variant.
PP1 Not assessed: zero documented affected relatives or informative meioses are available to evaluate co-segregation.
PP2 Not assessed: KLLN loss of function is supported, but no gene-wide benign-missense rate or common-missense-mechanism evidence was supplied.
PP3 Not met: missense REVEL 0.124 is below the >=0.644 generic PP3 supporting threshold.
PP4 Not assessed: patient phenotype and family history sufficient to demonstrate a highly specific single-etiology disease are unavailable.
PP5 Not assessed: the exact variant has no ClinVar expert-panel Pathogenic or Likely pathogenic classification available.
Benign
BA1 Not met: the highest observed allele frequency is 8.78194e-05, far below the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05.
BS1 Not met: the maximum observed allele frequency is 8.78194e-05, below the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01.
BS2 Not assessed: gnomAD reports zero homozygotes but provides no qualifying healthy-adult, age, phenotype, or penetrance evidence.
BS3 Not assessed: no variant-specific, validated in vitro or in vivo assay evidence demonstrated no damaging effect on KLLN p.Phe46Val function or splicing.
BS4 Not assessed: no affected family members with variant-negative testing are documented to demonstrate lack of segregation.
BP1 Not assessed: KLLN loss of function is supported, but a primarily truncating disease-variant spectrum was not established.
BP2 Not assessed: no pathogenic partner or phase observation demonstrates either trans occurrence in a fully penetrant dominant disorder or cis occurrence in any inheritance pattern.
BP5 Not assessed: no case evidence documents an alternate molecular basis for the patient's disease.
BP6 Not assessed: the exact variant has no ClinVar expert-panel Benign or Likely benign classification available.
