About PRSS1

PRSS1 encodes trypsinogen, a digestive enzyme precursor made by the pancreas and activated in the small intestine to help break down proteins. Changes in PRSS1 are associated with hereditary pancreatitis and can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer; the gene is not established as an oncogene or tumor suppressor.

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.

Met Not met Not assessed Not applicable

PS4 is not assessed because the literature documents enrichment but lacks the exact affected-case denominator and complete quantitative data needed for OR and 95% CI evaluation.

PP4 is not assessed because the case phenotype and family history are not available for specificity assessment.

PP5 and BP6 are not met because the exact-variant ClinVar record has zero expert-panel submissions.

BP5 is not met because no alternate molecular basis is documented.

Both criteria are evaluated on the missense REVEL path only; the REVEL score of 0.511 is below the PP3 supporting cutoff and above the BP4 supporting cutoff.

SpliceAI and BayesDel are not counted for PP3 or BP4 in this missense situation, and no paper provides relevant computational evidence that changes either result.

PS3 StrongACMG_2015Met, strong: R122H produced 4.8-fold higher trypsin activity than wild type with 25 nM CTRC and degraded 11-fold more slowly in biochemical assays. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PS3 is met at strong strength. Multiple variant-specific functional studies evaluated PRSS1 R122H (NM_002769.5:c.365G>A; NP_002760.1:p.(R122H)) using purified recombinant human cationic trypsinogen, biochemical autoactivation and degradation assays, and an in-vivo transgenic mouse model. In the presence of chymotrypsin C, R122H produced markedly higher active trypsin than wild type, with a 3.5-fold higher activity-curve area at 5 nM CTRC and a 4.8-fold higher area at 25 nM CTRC; degradation of activated trypsin was 11-fold slower than wild type. Independent biochemical work also found significantly enhanced autoactivation at pH 8.0 and pH 5.0, and transgenic mice expressing PRSS1 R122H developed increased susceptibility to experimentally induced pancreatitis. These results are biologically relevant to PRSS1-associated hereditary pancreatitis and consistently demonstrate a damaging gain-of-function effect rather than merely a computational or clinical-association signal.

Rule
Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product.
Evidence considered
  • Sahin-Tóth and colleagues, PMID:11097832: purified recombinant human cationic trypsinogen R122H showed significantly enhanced autoactivation at pH 8.0 and pH 5.0 compared with wild type, with increased autolytic stability after activation.
  • Szabó and Sahin-Tóth, PMID:22539344: recombinant R122H showed increased autoactivation and higher active trypsin than wild type in the presence of CTRC; activity-curve area was 3.5-fold higher at 5 nM CTRC and 4.8-fold higher at 25 nM CTRC, while activated-trypsin degradation was 11-fold slower.
  • Teich et al., PMID:16791840: the exact c.365G>A (p.R122H) variant was linked to increased trypsin and zymogen stability and increased autoactivation in the review's synthesis of biochemical studies.
  • Chen et al., PMID:19453252: the exact R122H variant is described as having increased zymogen stability and autoactivation, with the disease mechanism interpreted as disruption of the R122 primary lysis site; the review also cites transgenic-mouse support.
  • The evidence is biologically relevant because PRSS1 encodes cationic trypsinogen and the assays directly measure its activation, stability, and degradation, while the mouse model assesses pancreatitis susceptibility.
Still missing
  • The supplied evidence does not document formal validation and reproducibility in a clinical diagnostic laboratory, although independent biochemical and in-vivo studies are concordant.

PM2 SupportingACMGMet at Supporting: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 4.613e-05, below the supplied PM2 threshold of 0.0001, with 29 alleles observed. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

Under the supplied generic SVI calibration, PM2 Supporting is met when the allele frequency is <=0.0001. The default all-comers gnomAD v4.1 record has filtering grpmax FAF 4.613e-05, which is below 0.0001, and the gnomAD v2.1 record has grpmax FAF 7.01e-06. The variant is therefore extremely rare rather than completely absent. Non-cancer subsets corroborate rarity: gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes grpmax FAF 3.23e-06 and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes grpmax FAF 6.818e-05. PM2 is assigned at Supporting strength as specified by the supplied calibration.

Rule
Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes or Exome Aggregation Consortium.
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v4.1 all-comers: 29/1,573,650 alleles, 0 homozygotes, filtering grpmax FAF=4.613e-05, which is <=0.0001.
  • gnomAD v2.1 all-comers: 3/282,442 alleles, 0 homozygotes, filtering grpmax FAF=7.01e-06.

PM5 ModerateACMG_2015Met at moderate strength: PRSS1 p.Arg122Cys, a different missense at residue 122, was reported to cause segregating autosomal-dominant hereditary pancreatitis. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The observed variant is p.Arg122His. A different missense change at the same residue, PRSS1 p.Arg122Cys (R122C), was reported in independent hereditary-pancreatitis families, segregated with disease in an autosomal-dominant pattern, and the report's title identifies it as causing autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis. This is a pathogenic same-residue comparator for PM5; the paper uses the mature-protein numbering convention in some contexts, but the residue correspondence is explicit.

Rule
Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before.
Evidence considered
  • The PubMed record title is 'Novel cationic trypsinogen (PRSS1) N29T and R122C mutations cause autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis.'
  • The abstract reports that novel R122C and N29T mutations were detected in independent families and segregated with disease in an autosomal-dominant fashion.
  • R122C is a different missense substitution from the observed R122H at the same amino-acid residue 122.

Reasoning

PRSS1 c.365G>A (p.R122H) was reported in all affected individuals and obligate carriers from five hereditary-pancreatitis kindreds. A separate review likewise reports segregation of R122H with hereditary pancreatitis in five American families. This is co-segregation in multiple affected family members for an established PRSS1 hereditary-pancreatitis association; no supplied generic threshold supports upgrading beyond supporting strength.

Rule
Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease. ... Note: May be used as stronger evidence with increasing segregation data.
Evidence considered

PP3 ACMG_2015Not met: missense REVEL 0.511 is below the generic PP3 supporting threshold of >=0.644. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense change, so the governing generic rule selects the REVEL path only; SpliceAI is not used for missense PP3/BP4 and BayesDel has no established generic ACMG-strength calibration. REVEL is 0.511, below the PP3 supporting threshold of >= 0.644, so PP3 is not met. The ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration is Pejaver et al. 2022 (PMID:36413997).

Rule
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.).
Evidence considered
  • NM_002769.5:c.365G>A is a missense variant, so only REVEL is applicable for generic PP3/BP4; the available REVEL score is 0.511.
  • REVEL 0.511 is below the supplied generic PP3 supporting cutoff of >=0.644; the supplied calibration is ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration, Pejaver et al. 2022, PMID:36413997.
  • SpliceAI max delta 0.105 and BayesDel -0.0325382 were not used for this missense PP3 decision because the governing rule selects one consequence-matched predictor path and BayesDel lacks an established generic ACMG-strength calibration.

PP5 ACMGNot met: ClinVar has no exact-variant expert-panel classification, only laboratory submissions and aggregate Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic labels. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

ClinVar contains exact-variant Pathogenic and Likely pathogenic laboratory submissions, but the ClinVar audit records zero expert-panel submissions. PMID:16791840 is a literature report of the variant's association with hereditary pancreatitis, not an exact-variant ClinVar expert-panel classification. Under the required generic PP5 rule, ordinary laboratory submissions, aggregate labels, and non-expert assertions cannot trigger PP5.

Rule
Generic rules for PP5/BP6: apply them only for an exact-variant ClinVar expert-panel classification: Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic supports PP5; Benign/Likely benign supports BP6. Ordinary laboratory submissions, aggregate ClinVar labels, and non-expert assertions must never trigger either criterion.
Evidence considered
  • ClinVar exact-variant record NM_002769.5(PRSS1):c.365G>A (p.Arg122His) reports Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic submissions, but expert_panel_submissions = 0.
  • Teich et al. 2006, PMID:16791840, explicitly reports c.365G>A (p.R122H) as strongly associated with hereditary pancreatitis; this is literature evidence, not an exact-variant ClinVar expert-panel classification.

BA1 ACMGNot met: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 0.004613%, far below the 5% BA1 threshold, with 70,548 observed alleles in the highest-frequency population. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

Generic BA1 requires allele frequency above 5%. The default all-comers gnomAD v4.1 record reports grpmax FAF 4.613e-05 (0.004613%), based on a population with 70,548 observed alleles; this is far below 0.05 and therefore does not meet BA1. The gnomAD v2.1 all-comers grpmax FAF is also only 7.01e-06. The non-cancer subsets are concordant: gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes grpmax FAF 3.23e-06 and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes grpmax FAF 6.818e-05. The pathogenic ClinVar consensus does not create a BA1 frequency finding, and the frequency is not high enough to require resolving a high-frequency pathogenic-allele exception.

Rule
Allele frequency is above 5% in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes or Exome Aggregation Consortium.

BS1 ACMGNot met: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 0.004613%, below the 1% BS1 default despite hereditary pancreatitis having incomplete penetrance. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

Generic BS1 requires an allele frequency greater than expected for the disorder; the supplied generic default is 1%, but disease prevalence, penetrance and allelic heterogeneity must be considered. The default all-comers gnomAD v4.1 filtering grpmax FAF is 4.613e-05 (0.004613%), based on 70,548 observed alleles, which is below 0.01 by more than two orders of magnitude. The gnomAD v2.1 all-comers grpmax FAF is 7.01e-06, and non-cancer estimates are similarly low (v2.1 exomes 3.23e-06; v3.1 genomes 6.818e-05). Although hereditary pancreatitis is autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance, no maximum-credible-frequency calculation is needed to reject BS1 here because the conservative filtering FAF is already far below the generic threshold and does not indicate an excess frequency.

Rule
Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder.
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v4.1 all-comers filtering grpmax FAF=4.613e-05 (0.004613%), with 29 total alternate alleles and 0 homozygotes; the highest observed population has 7/70,548 alleles.
  • gnomAD v2.1 all-comers filtering grpmax FAF=7.01e-06; non-cancer filtering grpmax FAF values are 3.23e-06 in v2.1 exomes and 6.818e-05 in v3.1 genomes.
  • The disorder context is autosomal dominant hereditary pancreatitis with incomplete penetrance, so prevalence and penetrance were considered rather than treating 1% as an automatic rule; the observed FAF remains far below 1%.
  • Generic calibration supplied for this case: BS1 >=0.01, with per-gene maximum-credible-frequency derivation preferred (Whiffin et al. 2017, PMID:28518168).

BS3 ACMG_2015Not met: R122H increased active trypsin generation and was degraded 11-fold more slowly than wild type, contradicting preserved protein function. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS3 is not met. The criterion requires well-established functional studies showing no damaging effect on protein function or splicing, but the variant-specific biochemical evidence instead demonstrates increased PRSS1 autoactivation, increased active trypsin generation, resistance to CTRC-mediated degradation, and disruption of the R122 primary lysis site. One cellular study found that R122H was secreted normally and did not produce the ER-stress pattern observed for a different misfolding mutant, but normal secretion and absence of that stress response do not establish preserved PRSS1 enzymatic regulation or absence of a damaging effect. The available functional evidence therefore contradicts, rather than satisfies, BS3.

Rule
Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing.
Evidence considered
  • Sahin-Tóth and colleagues, PMID:11097832: R122H enhanced autoactivation and increased post-activation autolytic stability relative to wild type.
  • Szabó and Sahin-Tóth, PMID:22539344: R122H generated higher active trypsin in the presence of CTRC and underwent trypsin degradation 11-fold more slowly than wild type.
  • Chen et al., PMID:19453252: the exact R122H variant is described as having increased zymogen stability and autoactivation and as disrupting the R122 primary lysis site.
  • Kereszturi et al., PMID:19191323: R122H was reported to be secreted normally and without the ER-stress pattern seen for the distinct R116C misfolding mutant; this limited finding does not demonstrate normal enzymatic function or normal splicing and therefore cannot support BS3.
Sources
BP4 ACMG_2015Not met: missense REVEL 0.511 is above the generic BP4 supporting threshold of <=0.29. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense change, so the governing generic rule selects the REVEL path only; SpliceAI is not used for missense PP3/BP4 and BayesDel has no established generic ACMG-strength calibration. REVEL is 0.511, which is above the BP4 supporting threshold of <= 0.29 and therefore does not support BP4. The ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration is Pejaver et al. 2022 (PMID:36413997).

Rule
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc)
Evidence considered
  • NM_002769.5:c.365G>A is a missense variant, so only REVEL is applicable for generic PP3/BP4; the available REVEL score is 0.511.
  • REVEL 0.511 is above the supplied generic BP4 supporting cutoff of <=0.29, so BP4 is not met; the supplied calibration is ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration, Pejaver et al. 2022, PMID:36413997.
  • SpliceAI max delta 0.105 was not substituted for the indeterminate REVEL result because the governing rule does not permit crossing to the splice-prediction path for a missense variant; BayesDel was not used because no generic ACMG-strength calibration is established.

PS1 ACMG_2015Not assessed: p.Arg122His is established, but no different nucleotide change producing the same amino-acid substitution was documented. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is PRSS1 p.Arg122His (p.R122H). The available literature establishes this same amino-acid change, including the older R117H mature-protein numbering, but does not provide a previously established pathogenic variant with a different nucleotide change producing Arg122His. Therefore the required alternate-nucleotide same-amino-acid comparison is not available.

Rule
Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change.
Evidence considered
  • The case variant is NM_002769.5:c.365G>A, NP_002760.1:p.(Arg122His).
  • The review identifies c.365G>A as p.R122H and notes p.R117H as the mature-protein numbering equivalent; this is the same nucleotide change, not an alternate nucleotide change.
  • ClinVar identifies the exact variant as NM_002769.5(PRSS1):c.365G>A (p.Arg122His), with Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic submissions, but does not establish a distinct nucleotide change encoding the same amino-acid substitution.

Rule
De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history.

PS4 ACMG_2015Not assessed: affected and control observations are reported, but exact case counts are unavailable, preventing calculation of the required OR and 95% confidence interval. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PMID:16791840 reports the exact PRSS1 c.365G>A (p.R122H) variant in all affected individuals and obligate carriers from five hereditary-pancreatitis kindreds and in none of the individuals who married into the families or 140 unrelated individuals. This is case-control-style enrichment evidence, but the paper extract does not provide the exact number of affected individuals or a complete 2x2 table, so an odds ratio and 95% confidence interval cannot be computed. The generic PS4 requirement is OR or RR >5.0 with a confidence interval that does not include 1.0; therefore PS4 cannot be adjudicated from the available quantitative data.

Rule
The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared to the prevalence in controls. ... Relative risk (RR) or odds ratio (OR), as obtained from case-control studies, is >5.0 and the confidence interval around the estimate of RR or OR does not include 1.0.

PM1 ACMG_2015Not assessed: Arg122 is functionally important, but no qualifying hotspot/domain with demonstrated absence of benign variation was established. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PRSS1 Arg122 is described as the primary lysis site and a functionally important site, but the available evidence does not establish that residue 122 lies within a formally defined mutational hotspot or critical functional domain that lacks benign variation. Cancer Hotspots returned no statistically significant hotspot, and no VCEP domain table or gene-specific PM1 specification is available. The COSMIC somatic count is not sufficient to establish the generic PM1 requirement.

Rule
Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g. active site of an enzyme) without benign variation.
Evidence considered
  • The literature describes Arg122 as the primary autolysis/lysis site and links p.R122H to altered trypsin stability and autoactivation.
  • Cancer Hotspots reported no statistically significant hotspot for PRSS1 R122.
  • COSMIC recorded the exact variant three times in somatic cancers, but this does not by itself demonstrate a generic ACMG/AMP hotspot or a critical domain lacking benign variation.

No case-level evidence documents an assumed de novo occurrence of PRSS1 c.365G>A. The available reports describe familial hereditary-pancreatitis kindreds and do not identify a proband as de novo, regardless of whether parental maternity or paternity was tested.

Rule
Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity.
Evidence considered
  • Available variant-specific literature describes familial hereditary-pancreatitis kindreds rather than an assumed de novo proband.
Still missing
  • A case-level assumed de novo observation is needed.
  • The proband's phenotype and family-history context must be documented.
PP2 ACMG_2015Not assessed: PRSS1 missense disease mechanism is supported, but the required gene-wide low benign-missense rate was not established. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The evidence supports that pathogenic PRSS1 missense variants can cause hereditary pancreatitis through gain-of-function effects, but it does not provide a gene-wide assessment demonstrating both a low rate of benign missense variation and that missense variants are a common disease mechanism under the PP2 rule. The observed variant's rarity and pathogenic reports cannot substitute for those gene-level requirements.

Rule
Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.
Evidence considered
  • PRSS1 hereditary-pancreatitis literature describes recurrent pathogenic missense variants and gain-of-function effects, including increased autoactivation for R122H.
  • gnomAD v4.1 reports the observed variant at AF 1.84285e-05, but a single-variant frequency does not establish the gene-wide benign missense rate required by PP2.
Still missing
  • A validated gene-wide benign missense rate or equivalent PP2 dataset for PRSS1 is unavailable.

PP4 ACMG_2015Not assessed: the patient's phenotype and family history are not documented well enough to judge high specificity for a single genetic etiology. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available literature describes hereditary pancreatitis as the disease associated with PRSS1 p.R122H, but the case evidence does not provide the patient's phenotype or family history. Without case-specific phenotype information, it cannot be determined whether the phenotype is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.

Rule
Patient’s phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.
Evidence considered
  • The literature identifies hereditary pancreatitis as the disease context for PRSS1 p.R122H, but literature-level disease context does not substitute for the patient's phenotype or family history.
Still missing
  • Case-specific phenotype and family-history details
  • Documentation that the phenotype is highly specific for a single genetic etiology

BS2 ACMG_2015Not assessed: gnomAD reports 0 homozygotes but does not establish healthy adult carrier status, and hereditary pancreatitis has incomplete penetrance. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS2 requires observation in a healthy adult for a dominant disorder with full penetrance expected at an early age. gnomAD shows no homozygotes, but its aggregate population record does not establish that any individual carrier was a healthy adult with adequate age and phenotype assessment. In addition, hereditary pancreatitis is described as autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance, so the required full-penetrance early-age assumption is not established. No individual-level healthy-adult carrier observation with age and clinical ascertainment was identified; BS2 therefore cannot be adjudicated.

Rule
Observed in a healthy adult individual for a recessive (homozygous), dominant (heterozygous), or X-linked (hemizygous) disorder, with full penetrance expected at an early age.
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v4.1 all-comers reports 29 alternate alleles and 0 homozygotes; gnomAD v2.1 reports 3 alternate alleles and 0 homozygotes. These aggregate counts do not provide individual phenotype, age, or ascertainment data for healthy carriers.
  • The abstract of PMID:10204851 states: "The mode of inheritance suggests an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance." This prevents assuming the full-penetrance early-age condition required for BS2.
  • No validated individual-level healthy-adult carrier observation with sufficient age and clinical phenotype information was available for this criterion.
Still missing
  • Individual-level evidence that a heterozygous carrier was a healthy adult with adequate age and phenotype assessment.
  • Evidence establishing full penetrance at an early age for the relevant hereditary-pancreatitis phenotype.

BS4 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no affected family member is documented to lack the variant, while available reports describe co-segregation. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No supplied evidence documents affected family members who lack PRSS1 c.365G>A. The available familial reports instead describe co-segregation, so lack of segregation cannot be established; no BS4 evidence is present to weigh against the reported segregation.

Rule
Lack of segregation in affected members of a family.
Evidence considered
  • PMID:16791840 reports the variant in affected individuals and obligate carriers across five kindreds rather than documenting affected non-carriers.
  • PMID:19453252 reports segregation in five American hereditary-pancreatitis families and provides no affected non-carrier observation.
Still missing
  • Genotype and phenotype data for affected relatives who do not carry the variant are needed.
  • Potential phenocopies and additional pathogenic variants would need evaluation if non-segregation were reported.
Sources
BP1 ACMG_2015Not assessed: PRSS1 has documented pathogenic missense gain-of-function variants, but predominance of truncating disease variants was not quantified. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available PRSS1 evidence instead documents recurrent disease-causing missense variants and a gain-of-function missense mechanism, including p.Arg122His. However, it does not provide a systematic gene-level comparison establishing that PRSS1 disease is caused primarily by truncating variants. Therefore the BP1 applicability requirement cannot be confirmed or excluded from the supplied evidence alone.

Rule
Missense variant in a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease.
Evidence considered
  • The reviewed PRSS1 literature documents multiple hereditary-pancreatitis missense variants and describes R122H-related increased zymogen stability and autoactivation.
  • Those observations argue against assuming that PRSS1 disease is primarily truncating, but they do not by themselves quantify the complete disease-variant spectrum.
Still missing
  • A systematic PRSS1 variant-spectrum analysis comparing truncating and missense disease mechanisms is unavailable.
Sources
BP2 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no cis/trans phase result or second pathogenic variant is documented, and PRSS1 hereditary pancreatitis is not fully penetrant dominant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP2 requires observation either in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene/disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant in any inheritance pattern. PRSS1 hereditary pancreatitis is described as autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance, so the fully penetrant-dominant trans branch is not satisfied. The reviewed evidence does not document a second pathogenic variant, parental testing, offspring testing, or a cis/trans phase result for NM_002769.5:c.365G>A (p.Arg122His). The cis branch therefore cannot be evaluated from the available evidence, so BP2 is not assessed.

Rule
Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene/disorder or observed in cis with a pathogenic variant in any inheritance pattern.
Evidence considered
  • Férec et al. 1999 (PMID:10204851), abstract: hereditary pancreatitis has an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with incomplete penetrance, not a fully penetrant dominant disorder.
  • Chen et al. 2006 (PMID:16791840), section "The R122H and N29I Mutations in PRSS1 Are Commonly Associated With Hereditary Pancreatitis": the queried c.365G>A (p.R122H) variant is reported in hereditary-pancreatitis kindreds, but the cited finding does not provide a cis/trans result with another pathogenic variant.
  • The reviewed case evidence contains no documented parental or offspring phase testing and no confirmed cis or trans observation involving this variant and another pathogenic variant.
Still missing
  • Phase testing or an explicit molecular report is needed to determine whether NM_002769.5:c.365G>A is in cis with a pathogenic variant.
  • If a trans configuration is proposed, documentation that the relevant disorder is fully penetrant dominant and identification of the pathogenic variant are required.

PVS1 N/ANot applicable: PVS1 requires a null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical splice, start-loss or stop-loss), and this is a missense variant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PVS1 (ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations, PMC6185798, pvs1_generic_framework) applies only to null variant classes — nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1/2 splice-consensus, translation-initiation-codon loss, and stop-loss variants — each expected to trigger nonsense-mediated decay or otherwise abolish normal protein function. NM_002769.5:c.365G>A in PRSS1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_002760.1:p.(Arg122His). As a result, no null-variant mechanism (nonsense-mediated decay, truncation, or canonical splice disruption) is triggered by this variant class, so PVS1's structural prerequisite is not met by this variant class. No VCEP criteria specification covers PVS1 for PRSS1, so the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 definition applies.

PM3 N/ANot applicable: PRSS1 hereditary pancreatitis is autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance, whereas PM3 is limited to recessive disorders with a pathogenic variant in trans. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM3 is restricted to recessive disorders and requires the variant to be detected in trans with a pathogenic variant, with parental or offspring testing to establish phase. PRSS1-associated hereditary pancreatitis is described as an autosomal dominant disorder with incomplete penetrance, and the available case evidence does not establish a recessive inheritance context. Therefore PM3 is not applicable to this variant-disease context.

Rule
For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant...Note: This requires testing of parents (or offspring) to determine phase.

PM4 N/ANot applicable: PM4 requires a protein-length change, and this is a missense variant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM4 (Richards et al. 2015, PMID:25741868) applies to protein length changes: in-frame insertions/deletions in a non-repetitive region, or stop-loss variants that extend the protein past the reference stop codon. NM_002769.5:c.365G>A in PRSS1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_002760.1:p.(Arg122His). As a result, no change in protein length occurs, so there is nothing for this criterion to evaluate, so PM4's structural prerequisite is not met by this variant class. No VCEP criteria specification covers PM4 for PRSS1, so the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 definition applies. This determination was made deterministically from the variant's consequence class, prior to LLM adjudication.

BP7 N/ANot applicable: BP7 requires a synonymous variant, and this is a missense variant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP7 (Richards et al. 2015, PMID:25741868) is defined for a synonymous (silent) variant for which splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence and the nucleotide is not highly conserved. NM_002769.5:c.365G>A in PRSS1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_002760.1:p.(Arg122His). As a result, the encoded protein sequence is altered, so the criterion's silent-variant premise does not hold regardless of any splicing prediction, so BP7's structural prerequisite is not met by this variant class. No VCEP criteria specification covers BP7 for PRSS1, so the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 definition applies. This determination was made deterministically from the variant's consequence class, prior to LLM adjudication.

How the predictions were used

PP3 ACMG_2015Not met: missense REVEL 0.511 is below the generic PP3 supporting threshold of >=0.644. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense change, so the governing generic rule selects the REVEL path only; SpliceAI is not used for missense PP3/BP4 and BayesDel has no established generic ACMG-strength calibration. REVEL is 0.511, below the PP3 supporting threshold of >= 0.644, so PP3 is not met. The ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration is Pejaver et al. 2022 (PMID:36413997).

Rule
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.).
Evidence considered
  • NM_002769.5:c.365G>A is a missense variant, so only REVEL is applicable for generic PP3/BP4; the available REVEL score is 0.511.
