Classification rationale
PM2 VUS
IDH2 c.520G>A

PM2 (Supporting): absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD-Canada, with a single allele in 1,614,196 (AF 6.2e-07), far below the 0.1% low-frequency threshold. Overall classification: Variant of Uncertain Significance — a single supporting criterion satisfies no pathogenic or benign combination threshold under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 rules.

Assessed · not applied
Pathogenic
PS1 Not met: no different-nucleotide change producing p.Ala174Thr with a pathogenic assertion exists in ClinVar or the literature.
PS2 Not assessed: no proband-parent trio or parental testing data were available to evaluate a de novo origin.
PS3 Not assessed: no functional studies of this variant (enzyme, cellular, or animal assays) were available.
PS4 Not met: no case-control enrichment evidence exists; the variant is essentially absent from population controls (gnomAD AF 6.2e-07).
PM1 Not met: residue 174 is not a hotspot; IDH2's established hotspots are catalytic residues R140 and R172.
PM3 Not met: no observation of this variant in trans with a pathogenic IDH2 variant was available.
PM5 Not assessed: no pathogenic alternate missense at residue 174 was identified, so a different-missense comparator could not be confirmed.
PM6 Not assessed: no de novo occurrence or parental testing is documented for this variant.
PP1 Not assessed: no family segregation or pedigree data were available.
PP2 Not assessed: no gene-level missense constraint metric (gnomAD Z-score) was available to evaluate PP2.
PP3 Not met: REVEL 0.749 is below the calibrated 0.773 PP3-supporting threshold.
PP4 Not assessed: no proband phenotype or family history data were available to evaluate phenotype specificity.
PP5 Not met: ClinVar holds only a single-submitter laboratory VUS, with no expert-panel pathogenic classification.
Benign
BA1 Not met: gnomAD AF 6.2e-07 is roughly five orders of magnitude below the >1% BA1 threshold.
BS1 Not met: gnomAD AF 6.2e-07 is orders of magnitude below the >0.3% BS1 threshold.
BS2 Not met: zero homozygotes observed across 1,614,196 gnomAD v4.1 alleles.
BS3 Not assessed: no functional studies demonstrating absence of a damaging effect were available.
BS4 Not assessed: no family or segregation evidence showing non-segregation was available.
BP2 Not met: no observation in trans or cis with a pathogenic IDH2 variant was available.
BP4 Not met: REVEL 0.749 far exceeds the calibrated 0.128 BP4-supporting threshold.
BP5 Not met: no reported case carries this variant with an alternate molecular basis for disease.
BP6 Not met: ClinVar holds only a single-submitter laboratory VUS, with no expert-panel benign classification.

SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact for this variant (max delta score = 0.00). REVEL score = 0.749. BayesDel score = 0.130575.
Functional / OncoKB screenshot
Functional Unknown Oncogenic Effect
OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. IDH2, a cell metabolism enzyme, is recurrently mutated in various cancer types including acute myeloid leukemia, glioblastoma, and cholangiocarcinoma.
