MEN1 encodes menin, a tumor suppressor protein that helps control gene activity by modifying chromatin structure and histones. Loss of menin function causes multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1 syndrome), an inherited disorder marked by tumors of the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas. Menin interacts with several proteins that regulate cell growth and division, and its loss contributes to both inherited and sporadic endocrine tumors.
This variant
MEN1 encodes the menin tumor suppressor, whose loss of function predisposes to MEN1 syndrome tumors of the pituitary, parathyroid, and pancreas. This synonymous c.300C>G change (p.Ala100=) is not predicted to disrupt menin production or splicing and is extremely rare in the general population, yet the available evidence is not strong enough to establish that it is benign. It therefore remains a variant of uncertain significance, and MEN1-related risk can neither be assigned nor excluded on this finding alone.

VUS: the only met criteria conflict, PM2 (supporting, toward pathogenic) and BP4 (supporting, toward benign), so no ACMG/AMP classification threshold is reached. No MEN1-specific interpretation framework exists, so generic ACMG/AMP thresholds were applied.
Classification rationale
PM2BP4VUS
MEN1 c.300C>Gsynonymous · exon 2
PM2 (Supporting): gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency 0.0014% (23 of 1,613,754 alleles), below the <0.1% threshold for extreme rarity. BP4 (Supporting): SpliceAI maximum delta 0.00, below the <0.10 threshold, predicting no splice effect. VUS overall: PM2 and BP4 are both supporting-strength but point in opposite directions, and this conflicting combination meets no ACMG/AMP pathogenic or benign threshold.

Met (supporting): extremely rare in gnomAD v4.1, 23 of 1,613,754 alleles (0.0014%), below the 0.1% threshold.
gnomAD v4.1 reports 23/1,613,754 alleles, AF 1.42525e-05, maximum subpopulation AF 1.94928e-05, and 0 homozygotes.gnomAD v2.1 reports 4/250,716 alleles, AF 1.59543e-05, maximum subpopulation AF 3.53519e-05, and 0 homozygotes.gnomAD-Canada v1.0 reports the variant as absent.
Met (supporting): SpliceAI maximum delta 0.00, below the <0.10 BP4 threshold.
No MEN1 VCEP/CSPEC or local gene-specific computational-evidence rule was retrieved; the generic ACMG/AMP fallback is governing.The case SpliceAI result for NM_001370259.2:c.300C>G has maximum delta score 0.00. The supplied generic non-missense rule assigns BP4_supporting when SpliceAI maximum delta is <0.10.This is a synonymous, not missense, variant; the generic rule directs use of SpliceAI only for this path. No independent missense-predictor evidence is added.
This variant is present in gnomAD v4.1 (AF= 1.42525e-05; MAF= 0.00143%, 23/1613754 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the European (non-Finnish) population (AF= 1.94928e-05; MAF= 0.00195%, 23/1179924 alleles, homozygotes = 0); grpmax FAF= 1.298e-05.
v2.1
This variant is present in gnomAD v2.1 (AF= 1.59543e-05; MAF= 0.00160%, 4/250716 alleles, homozygotes = 0) and has highest observed frequency in the European (non-Finnish) population (AF= 3.53519e-05; MAF= 0.00354%, 4/113148 alleles, homozygotes = 0); grpmax FAF= 1.126e-05.
