Basis gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM2 supporting, BP1 supporting benign; combination = 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

MBD4 c.1015G>A

NM_003925.3:c.1015G>A (p.Ala339Thr) is absent from all gnomAD population databases (v2.1, v4.1, Canada), meeting PM2 at supporting strength.1 MBD4 germline disease is mediated by loss-of-function via truncating variants; this missense variant qualifies for BP1 (supporting benign) as missense variation is not the established pathogenic mechanism. Computational predictors are discordant: REVEL 0.302 (weakly pathogenic-leaning), BayesDel -0.489624 (benign-leaning), SpliceAI max delta 0.27 (intermediate). Neither PP3 nor BP4 is met.2 No functional studies, no case-control data, no segregation data, no de novo observations, and no ClinVar entries exist for this variant. All other criteria are not met or not applicable.3 With one supporting pathogenic criterion (PM2) and one supporting benign criterion (BP1), the net evidence score is zero, consistent with a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) per ACMG/AMP 2015 generic classification rules.4

      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. MBD4, a DNA glycosylase, is infrequently altered in cancer.
