Gene-level background from the recorded interpretation.

About SLCO1B1

SLCO1B1 encodes a liver membrane transporter that helps move bilirubin, steroid conjugates, leukotrienes, and medicines such as statins from the blood into liver cells. Genetic differences can reduce transporter activity and alter how the body handles these compounds, particularly certain medications. SLCO1B1 is not known to have a primary role in cancer.

Met Not met Not assessed Not applicable

No qualifying de novo, segregation, or non-segregation evidence is available for PS2, PM6, PP1, or BS4.

The available studies are pharmacogenetic association cohorts and do not substitute for disease-focused proband, parental, pedigree, or meiosis data.

The exact variant is SLCO1B1 NM_006446.5:c.521T>C (p.Val174Ala), also called rs4149056/SLCO1B1*5.

PS4 was evaluated using the case-control studies already extracted for the exact variant; the strongest reported OR was 4.47, below the governing >5.0 threshold.

PP4 is not met because statin-associated adverse reactions are treatment-related and multifactorial rather than highly specific for a single-gene disease.

PP5 and BP6 do not trigger because the exact-variant expert-panel ClinVar classification is drug response, while benign and likely-benign entries are ordinary laboratory submissions.

BP5 remains not assessed because no alternate molecular basis was established in the available evidence.

This missense variant is adjudicated on the REVEL path only: REVEL 0.221 does not support PP3 but meets generic BP4 at supporting strength.

BA1 Stand aloneACMGMet: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 0.195837, exceeding the BA1 threshold of 0.05 in a population with 63,968 observed alleles. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BA1 is met. The required filtering frequency is the gnomAD grpmax FAF, not the population point estimate. gnomAD v4.1 reports grpmax FAF=0.19583668, with the maximum-frequency Finnish population represented by 13,336/63,968 observed alleles, well above the minimum 2,000 observed alleles and the generic BA1 threshold of 0.05. gnomAD v2.1 independently reports grpmax FAF=0.17073139 with 5,330/25,092 Finnish alleles. The variant is therefore far above the stand-alone threshold using adequately sized population data; the available case evidence does not document a pathogenic disease consensus or a reduced-penetrance disease association that would warrant withholding BA1.

Rule
Allele frequency is above 5% in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes or Exome Aggregation Consortium. ... BA1 (stand-alone): >= 0.05 — ACMG/AMP 2015 stand-alone benign allele frequency (PMID:25741868)
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v4.1: total AF=0.142290, 228,311/1,604,544 alleles, homozygotes=17,896; grpmax FAF=0.19583668; highest point estimate in Finnish individuals was 13,336/63,968 alleles (AF=0.208479), and the FAF rather than that point estimate was used.
  • gnomAD v2.1: total AF=0.133191, 37,601/282,308 alleles, homozygotes=2,959; grpmax FAF=0.17073139; Finnish subgroup had 5,330/25,092 alleles (AF=0.212418).
  • The generic BA1 calibration supplied for this case is >=0.05; both available grpmax FAF values exceed it, and the relevant population allele counts exceed 2,000.

BS1 StrongACMGMet: gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF is 0.195837, far above the generic BS1 threshold of 0.01 with 63,968 Finnish observed alleles. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS1 is met under the supplied generic default. The filtering frequency is gnomAD v4.1 grpmax FAF=0.19583668, supported by 63,968 observed alleles in the Finnish subgroup, and gnomAD v2.1 independently gives grpmax FAF=0.17073139 with 25,092 Finnish alleles. Both are far above the generic BS1 default of 0.01. The available case evidence does not identify a disease prevalence, penetrance, allelic-heterogeneity model, or documented founder/reduced-penetrance disease association that would justify overriding this generic frequency assessment.

Rule
Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder. ... BS1 (strong): >= 0.01 — Generic SVI default; per-gene derivation preferred (Whiffin et al. 2017) (PMID:28518168)
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v4.1: grpmax FAF=0.19583668; Finnish subgroup AF=0.208479 from 13,336/63,968 alleles. The grpmax FAF was used instead of the popmax point estimate.
  • gnomAD v2.1: grpmax FAF=0.17073139; Finnish subgroup AF=0.212418 from 5,330/25,092 alleles.
  • The supplied generic BS1 default is >=0.01. Whiffin et al. 2017 (PMID:28518168) is the named source for considering maximum credible allele frequency; no case-specific disease prevalence, penetrance, or allelic-heterogeneity inputs were supplied that would make the observed approximately 17%-20% FAF compatible with the disorder model.

BP4 SupportingACMGMet, supporting: REVEL 0.221 is at or below the <=0.29 generic BP4 supporting threshold for missense variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense SNV, p.(Val174Ala), so the generic missense path applies and REVEL is the sole permitted predictor path for PP3/BP4. REVEL is 0.221, which is at or below the generic BP4 supporting threshold of <= 0.29; the SpliceAI result and BayesDel score are not used for this missense criterion. BP4 is met at supporting strength.

Rule
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc)
Evidence considered
  • NM_006446.5:c.521T>C is a missense variant, NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala); therefore REVEL is the applicable generic computational path.
  • Local REVEL lookup reports 0.221 for NM_006446.5:c.521T>C.
  • The generic BP4 supporting threshold is <= 0.29, from ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration (Pejaver et al. 2022, Am J Hum Genet; PMID:36413997); 0.221 meets it.
  • SpliceAI is not counted for PP3/BP4 here because the variant is missense, and BayesDel is not available for generic ACMG strength calibration.

PS1 ACMG_2015Not met: p.Val174Ala is reported for drug response, but no previously established pathogenic variant with the same amino-acid change is documented. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala), but the available records establish it as a pharmacogenomic/drug-response allele rather than as a previously established pathogenic variant. ClinVar lists an expert-panel drug-response classification and benign/likely-benign laboratory submissions; no previously established pathogenic same-amino-acid record was identified. The cited papers report statin pharmacokinetic or toxicity associations, not an ACMG pathogenic classification for the same amino-acid change.

Rule
Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change. ... Caveat: Beware of changes that impact splicing rather than at the amino acid/protein level.
Evidence considered

PS4 ACMG_2015Not met: the strongest reported case-control odds ratio was 4.47, below the ACMG/AMP PS4 requirement of OR >5.0 with confidence interval excluding 1.0. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PS4 is applicable because multiple studies directly evaluated exact variant rs4149056/SLCO1B1 c.521T>C in affected statin-myopathy or adverse-reaction cases and comparison participants. The literature includes case-control comparisons: PMID:28940218 reported C-allele carriage 37.6% in 125 cases versus 25.8% in 481 controls, OR 1.73 (95% CI 1.14-2.62); PMID:26086347 reported 521TC/CC genotypes in 55.3% of 60 adverse-reaction cases versus 44.7% of 90 matched controls, adjusted OR 2.26 (95% CI 1.03-4.98); PMID:23942138 reported OR 2.08 (95% CI 1.35-3.23) for all myopathy and OR 4.47 for severe myopathy; PMID:21243006 reported OR 3.2 (95% CI 0.83-11.96) among simvastatin users; and PMID:27595674 reported OR 1.40 (95% CI 0.74-2.64). These are valid case-control comparisons even where the paper did not provide an odds ratio initially; the reported counts and frequencies were evaluated as case-control evidence. The governing PS4 threshold is OR >5.0 with a confidence interval excluding 1.0. The decisive explicit comparison is 4.47 > 5.0? no; the strongest reported OR does not reach the required threshold, and the other reported ORs are also below 5.0. Therefore PS4 is not met. PMID:19833260 was checked in its full-text extraction and reports an association with a composite statin adverse event but not a qualifying OR >5.0 case-control result.

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 met: residue 174 has no documented critical-domain or permitted hotspot designation, and cancerhotspots.org returned no significant SLCO1B1 V174 hotspot. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant lies at residue 174. No VCEP-specific domain table is present for SLCO1B1, and the generic evidence bundle provides no established critical functional domain or mutational-hotspot designation for residue 174. The cancerhotspots.org query for SLCO1B1 V174 returned no statistically significant hotspot, and no VCEP hotspot route applies.

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 case has no VCEP for SLCO1B1 and vcep_materials.json has an empty domain_tables object, so no authoritative VCEP critical-domain entry contains residue 174.
  • Cancer Hotspots query 'SLCO1B1 V174' returned no result and reported: 'This variant does not lie in a statistically significant hotspot.'

PM2 ACMGNot met: gnomAD v4.1 allele frequency is 0.142290, vastly exceeding the PM2 supporting threshold of 0.0001. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM2 is not met. The variant is common in the default all-comers gnomAD datasets: gnomAD v4.1 reports AF=0.142290 with 228,311/1,604,544 alleles and gnomAD v2.1 reports AF=0.133191 with 37,601/282,308 alleles. The non-cancer exome subset also reports AF=0.131422 from 31,072/236,430 alleles. These frequencies are vastly above the supplied PM2 supporting threshold of <=0.0001, so the variant is neither absent nor extremely rare in controls.

Rule
Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes or Exome Aggregation Consortium. ... PM2 (supporting): <= 0.0001 — SVI recommendation to downgrade PM2 to Supporting (ClinGen SVI 2020) (PMID:25741868)

  • The gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exome subset reports AF=0.131422 (31,072/236,430 alleles; 2,377 homozygotes); it likewise excludes PM2.

Sources
PP2 ACMG_2015Not met: gnomAD v4.1 shows p.Val174Ala at AF 0.142290 with 17,896 homozygotes, contradicting a low rate of benign missense variation. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The gene-level prerequisite of a low rate of benign missense variation is not supported. The queried missense variant itself is a common population allele: gnomAD v4.1 reports AF 0.142290 and 17,896 homozygotes, while gnomAD v2.1 reports AF 0.133191 and 2,959 homozygotes. This substantial benign-population variation is inconsistent with applying PP2, and the supplied evidence does not establish that missense variation is a common disease mechanism for SLCO1B1-related disease.

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
  • gnomAD v4.1 reports NM_006446.5:c.521T>C at AF 0.1422902706 with 228,311 of 1,604,544 alleles and 17,896 homozygotes.
  • gnomAD v2.1 reports the variant at AF 0.1331914079 with 37,601 of 282,308 alleles and 2,959 homozygotes.
  • The supplied case evidence does not establish a gene-level pattern in which missense variants are a common mechanism of SLCO1B1-related disease.

PP3 ACMGNot met: REVEL 0.221 is below the >=0.644 generic PP3 supporting threshold for missense variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense SNV, p.(Val174Ala), so the generic missense path applies and REVEL is the sole permitted predictor path for PP3/BP4. REVEL is 0.221, below the generic PP3 supporting threshold of >= 0.644; the SpliceAI result and BayesDel score are not used for this missense criterion. The criterion is therefore not met.

Rule
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.).
Evidence considered
  • NM_006446.5:c.521T>C is a missense variant, NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala); therefore REVEL is the applicable generic computational path.
  • Local REVEL lookup reports 0.221 for NM_006446.5:c.521T>C.
  • The generic PP3 supporting threshold is >= 0.644, from ClinGen SVI REVEL calibration (Pejaver et al. 2022, Am J Hum Genet; PMID:36413997); 0.221 does not meet it.
  • SpliceAI is not counted for PP3/BP4 here because the variant is missense, and BayesDel is not available for generic ACMG strength calibration.

PP4 ACMG_2015Not met: statin-associated muscle symptoms are treatment-related and multifactorial, not highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available phenotype evidence concerns statin-induced myopathy, muscle symptoms, or dose-related adverse drug reactions, which are pharmacologic adverse-event phenotypes with recognized environmental and multifactorial contributors rather than a highly specific phenotype for a single-gene disease. The reviewed studies also evaluate multiple candidate genes and treatment exposures. The phenotype therefore does not satisfy the requirement for a phenotype or family history 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 phenotype reported across the reviewed literature is statin-induced myopathy, muscle symptoms, or dose-related statin adverse reactions after drug exposure, rather than a disease phenotype with single-gene specificity.
  • PMID:26086347 evaluated atorvastatin adverse drug reactions while accounting for ABCG2, CYP3A4, and SLCO1B1, supporting a multifactorial pharmacogenetic context.
  • PMID:28940218 evaluated 12 SNPs in nine candidate genes and clinical factors for statin-related muscle toxicity, not a single-gene disease diagnosis.

Reasoning

No proband-level disease phenotype, family-history assessment, or confirmed maternity and paternity testing is documented for this variant. The available literature concerns statin pharmacogenetic association cohorts rather than a de novo clinical case, so PS2 cannot be assessed.

PS3 ACMG_2015Not assessed: reviewed reports provide clinical or pharmacokinetic associations, but no auditable primary functional assay result with controls establishes a damaging effect. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available evidence does not establish PS3. Papers report clinical pharmacokinetic or statin-toxicity associations for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C (p.Val174Ala), but the reviewed material does not provide a directly reported, well-established in vitro or in vivo functional assay result with adequate assay controls, biological comparator, and reproducibility information. A paper states that prior transfected-cell transport assays showed reduced OATP1B1 substrate transport, but this is a secondary statement without the primary assay data, quantitative result, controls, or validation details needed to calibrate PS3 strength. Therefore a damaging functional effect cannot be assigned from the available auditable evidence.

Rule
Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product.
Evidence considered
  • PMID:21243006: The paper reports prior functional and pharmacokinetic evidence that Val174Ala reduces OATP1B1 substrate transport and increases plasma concentrations of several statins, but the reviewed extract presents this as summarized prior evidence rather than primary assay results with controls and validation details.
  • PMID:19833260: In a prospective 452-subject STRENGTH pharmacogenetics study, the variant was associated with a composite statin adverse event in a gene-dose pattern (19% noncarriers, 27% one-allele carriers, 50% two-allele carriers), but this is a clinical association rather than a direct functional assay.
  • PMID:28940218: In 606 treated patients, the variant was associated with statin-related muscle toxicity (multivariate OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.15–2.59; P=0.014), but the study is clinical case-control evidence rather than direct protein-function testing.
  • PMID:26086347: The paper reports an association with atorvastatin adverse drug reactions (adjusted OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.03–4.98; p=0.043) and states that the allele can interfere with transporter plasma-membrane localization, but the reported study itself used genotyping and does not provide a primary localization assay for this variant.
  • PMID:23942138: The variant was associated with myopathy risk (OR 2.08 per C allele for all myopathy and OR 4.47 for severe myopathy), but this is pharmacogenetic association evidence and does not establish PS3 under the functional-study definition.

PM3 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no pathogenic partner variant or parental/offspring testing establishes NM_006446.5:c.521T>C in trans. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

PM3 cannot be assessed from the available evidence. The case contains no affected-proband observation for a defined recessive disorder involving NM_006446.5:c.521T>C, no pathogenic or likely pathogenic partner variant, and no parental or offspring testing establishing phase. The available literature concerns SLCO1B1 pharmacogenetic drug-response associations rather than a documented compound-heterozygous or biallelic disease observation. Without a confirmed pathogenic allele in trans and phase evidence, the PM3 definition is not satisfied.

Rule
For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant
Evidence considered
  • No case-level affected-proband, partner-variant, or parental/offspring phase evidence was identified in the provided case materials.
  • The available exact-variant publications describe pharmacogenetic statin-response or myotoxicity associations, not a compound-heterozygous disease observation with a pathogenic allele in trans.
Still missing
  • A defined recessive SLCO1B1 disorder context and affected-proband observation are not documented.
  • A pathogenic or likely pathogenic partner variant is not documented.
  • Parental or offspring testing establishing trans phase is not documented.
PM5 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no verified pathogenic alternate missense change at Val174 is available for comparison. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available PM5 candidate record contains zero same-residue candidates and explicitly states that classic same-residue PM5 semantics could not be confirmed safely. No independently verified alternate missense substitution at Val174 with a pathogenic determination is available in the supplied evidence.

Rule
Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before. ... Caveat: Beware of changes that impact splicing rather than at the amino acid/protein level.
Evidence considered
  • pm5_candidates.json reports same_residue_candidates = 0, expert_panel_plp_candidates = 0, and no comparator variants; it instructs that PM5 must not be applied from that artifact alone.
Still missing
  • A verified pathogenic alternate missense variant at residue Val174 is needed to assess PM5.

PM6 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no documented de novo disease case or parental testing showing the variant was absent without maternity and paternity confirmation. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No clinical de novo observation is documented, and there is no evidence that the variant was absent in either parent. The available literature concerns unrelated statin pharmacogenetic association cohorts rather than an assumed de novo disease case, so PM6 cannot be assessed.

Rule
Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity.
Evidence considered
  • The case evidence contains no proband-parent trio result or parental variant-status report for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C.
  • The available papers describe unrelated statin-treated cohorts and do not provide a qualifying assumed de novo disease case.
Still missing
  • A documented disease proband with a de novo variant observation
  • Parental genotypes or an explicit statement that the variant was absent in both parents
PP1 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no affected family members with variant genotypes or co-segregation data are reported for the disease context. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No family pedigree, affected relatives, variant genotypes in relatives, or meioses of co-segregation are documented. The available studies are unrelated pharmacogenetic cohorts and do not establish co-segregation with a disease phenotype in affected family members, so PP1 cannot be assessed.

Rule
Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease.
Evidence considered
  • The case evidence provides no family segregation data for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C.
  • The available papers report unrelated statin pharmacogenetic cohorts, not multiple affected family members with genotype-phenotype co-segregation.
Still missing
  • A disease-relevant pedigree
  • Phenotype status and genotypes for affected relatives
  • Number of informative meioses and segregation results
BS2 ACMG_2015Not assessed: gnomAD reports 17,896 homozygotes, but population records do not establish healthy-adult status, phenotype, age, or full penetrance. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BS2 cannot be assessed from the available population data. Homozygotes are observed in gnomAD, including 17,896 in gnomAD v4.1 and 2,959 in gnomAD v2.1, but gnomAD non-cancer status does not establish that individuals were healthy adults, unaffected by a defined disorder, or observed at an age appropriate for a fully penetrant early-onset phenotype. No disease-specific inheritance, penetrance, age-of-onset, or clinically characterized healthy-adult cohort is provided.

Rule
BS2
Evidence considered
  • gnomAD v4.1 reports 17,896 homozygotes overall, including 1,355 Finnish homozygotes; gnomAD v2.1 reports 2,959 homozygotes overall, including 561 Finnish homozygotes.
  • These are population-genomic observations and do not provide the healthy-adult, unaffected-status, age, penetrance, or defined-disorder information required for BS2.
Still missing
  • A defined disorder and inheritance model to which BS2 applies.
  • Clinically characterized healthy adult homozygotes or equivalent phenotype and age-of-onset data.
  • Evidence that full penetrance is expected at an early age for the relevant disorder.
Sources
BS3 ACMG_2015Not assessed: available studies report clinical or pharmacokinetic associations, not a well-established functional result demonstrating no damaging effect on protein function or splicing. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The available evidence does not establish BS3. The reviewed papers contain clinical pharmacokinetic, adverse-event, or myopathy association results and do not provide a well-established in vitro or in vivo study showing no damaging effect on protein function or splicing. The available material therefore cannot support a benign functional conclusion or assign BS3 strength.

Rule
Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing.
Evidence considered
  • PMID:21243006: The paper discusses prior reports of reduced OATP1B1 substrate transport for Val174Ala and does not provide evidence of preserved function or normal splicing.
  • PMID:19833260: The study reports genotype-associated statin adverse-event and metabolite findings, not a benign functional assay result.
  • PMID:28940218: The study reports an association between the variant and statin-related muscle toxicity, not evidence showing no damaging effect on protein function or splicing.
  • PMID:26086347: The study reports adverse-drug-reaction associations and discusses transporter localization, but does not demonstrate preserved function or normal splicing in a primary assay.
  • PMID:23942138: The study reports myopathy associations and does not provide a functional result establishing absence of damage.
Still missing
  • A primary, well-established functional study demonstrating preserved protein function or normal splicing for c.521T>C (p.Val174Ala), with appropriate controls and reproducibility/validation information, is not available in the reviewed material.
Sources
BS4 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no affected relatives with variant genotypes are available to demonstrate lack of segregation. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

No affected family members with available variant genotypes are documented, so there is no evaluable non-segregation result. The available literature does not provide a disease-family pedigree for this variant, and BS4 cannot be assessed.

Rule
Lack of segregation in affected members of a family.
Evidence considered
  • The case evidence contains no affected-relative genotypes or pedigree-based non-segregation analysis for SLCO1B1 c.521T>C.
  • The available literature concerns unrelated pharmacogenetic cohorts rather than affected family members in a disease pedigree.
Still missing
  • Affected relatives with reliable clinical phenotyping
  • Variant testing results for those affected relatives
  • A family pedigree suitable for evaluating segregation
BP1 ACMG_2015Not assessed: the supplied evidence does not show that SLCO1B1 disease is primarily caused by truncating variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The supplied evidence does not establish that SLCO1B1-related disease is caused primarily by truncating variants. The available literature and ClinVar records concern pharmacogenomic effects and drug-response phenotypes, but they do not provide a sufficiently characterized disease-variant spectrum demonstrating a primarily truncating mechanism. BP1 therefore cannot be adjudicated from the available evidence.

Rule
Missense variant in a gene for which primarily truncating variants are known to cause disease.
Evidence considered
  • ClinVar and the reviewed literature describe SLCO1B1 pharmacogenomic and drug-response associations, but do not establish a primarily truncating disease mechanism or variant spectrum for this gene.
Still missing
  • A documented SLCO1B1 disease-variant spectrum showing predominantly truncating pathogenic variants is needed to assess BP1.
BP2 ACMG_2015Not assessed: no family or proband data establish the variant in trans or cis with a pathogenic allele. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

BP2 cannot be assessed from the available evidence. No affected-proband or family-level observation documents NM_006446.5:c.521T>C with a pathogenic variant in trans in a fully penetrant dominant disorder, or with a pathogenic variant in cis under any inheritance pattern. The available exact-variant literature reports pharmacogenetic associations and does not establish cis/trans phase with a pathogenic allele. Therefore, neither BP2 pathway can be applied.

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
  • No case-level family, affected-proband, partner-variant, or molecular-phasing evidence was identified in the provided case materials.
  • The available exact-variant publications describe pharmacogenetic statin-response or myotoxicity associations, not cis/trans allelic observations with a pathogenic variant.
Still missing
  • No fully penetrant dominant disorder context or affected-proband observation is documented.
  • No pathogenic partner variant is documented.
  • No molecular phasing establishes cis or trans configuration.
BP5 ACMG_2015Not assessed: the available evidence does not establish an alternate molecular basis in a case carrying this variant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The reviewed evidence documents statin exposure and adverse-event phenotypes but does not establish that this variant was found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for the disease. No qualifying alternate pathogenic molecular diagnosis or explicit alternate molecular basis was available in the phenotype-prevalence evidence.

Rule
Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease.
Still missing
  • A case-level report showing the exact variant together with a confirmed alternate molecular basis for the relevant disease is needed.

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_006446.5:c.521T>C in SLCO1B1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala). 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 SLCO1B1, so the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 definition applies. This determination was made deterministically from the variant's consequence class, prior to LLM adjudication.

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_006446.5:c.521T>C in SLCO1B1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala). 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 SLCO1B1, so the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 definition applies. This determination was made deterministically from the variant's consequence class, prior to LLM adjudication.

Reasoning

BP3 (Richards et al. 2015, PMID:25741868) applies to in-frame insertions/deletions located in a repetitive region without a known function. NM_006446.5:c.521T>C in SLCO1B1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala). As a result, the variant does not alter protein length within a repeat region, so there is nothing for this criterion to evaluate, so BP3's structural prerequisite is not met by this variant class. No VCEP criteria specification covers BP3 for SLCO1B1, so the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 definition applies.

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_006446.5:c.521T>C in SLCO1B1 is a missense substitution predicted to produce NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala). 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 SLCO1B1, 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

BP4 SupportingACMGMet, supporting: REVEL 0.221 is at or below the <=0.29 generic BP4 supporting threshold for missense variants. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The variant is a missense SNV, p.(Val174Ala), so the generic missense path applies and REVEL is the sole permitted predictor path for PP3/BP4. REVEL is 0.221, which is at or below the generic BP4 supporting threshold of <= 0.29; the SpliceAI result and BayesDel score are not used for this missense criterion. BP4 is met at supporting strength.

Rule
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc)
Evidence considered
  • NM_006446.5:c.521T>C is a missense variant, NP_006437.3:p.(Val174Ala); therefore REVEL is the applicable generic computational path.
