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, BP4 supporting; combination = 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS because the evidence is conflicting.
Classification rationale
PM2 BP4 VUS
ASXL1 c.3802A>G

The ASXL1 c.3802A>G (p.Thr1268Ala) variant has been reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance with one clinical laboratory submission.1 This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in population databases.2 Available computational evidence supports a benign effect, with REVEL 0.098, BayesDel -0.440581, and SpliceAI showing no predicted splice impact with a maximum delta score of 0.00.3

Pathogenic
PVS1 ASXL1 loss of function is an established disease mechanism, but this variant is a missense substitution, not a nonsense, frameshift, or canonical +/-1 or 2 splice variant, and the generic PVS1 framework does not support applying PVS1 to this change.
PS1 No evidence was identified that the same amino acid change has already been established as pathogenic by a different nucleotide change.
PS2 No confirmed de novo occurrence with verified maternity and paternity was identified for this variant.
PS3 No well-established functional study was identified for this variant, so functional evidence supporting a damaging effect is not available.
PS4 This variant has only limited observation data, with one ClinVar submission and no case-control or enrichment evidence, so increased prevalence in affected individuals has not been shown.
PM1 Available evidence does not show that this variant lies in a well-established mutational hotspot or a critical functional domain without benign variation.
PM3 No evidence was identified that this variant was observed in trans with a pathogenic variant in an established recessive disease context.
PM5 No evidence was identified that a different missense change at codon 1268 has already been established as pathogenic.
PM6 No presumed de novo occurrence without confirmed parentage was identified for this variant.
PP1 No segregation data were identified for this variant.
PP2 Available evidence does not establish that ASXL1 missense variation is a common disease mechanism with a low rate of benign missense variation, so PP2 was not applied.
PP3 Available computational evidence does not support a damaging effect.
PP4 No individual-level phenotype data were identified to show a highly specific clinical presentation for a single genetic etiology.
PP5 No reputable source classified this variant as pathogenic, and the available ClinVar entry is uncertain significance rather than a pathogenic assertion supporting PP5.
Benign
BA1 This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1 and therefore does not meet the benign stand-alone threshold of greater than 1%.
BS1 This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1 and therefore does not meet the benign strong threshold of greater than 0.3%.
BS2 No evidence was identified showing this variant in healthy adult individuals in a context sufficient to argue against disease causation.
BS3 No well-established functional study was identified showing a normal or benign effect for this variant.
BS4 No non-segregation data were identified for this variant.
BP1 ASXL1 loss of function is an established disease mechanism, but the currently reviewed evidence is not sufficient by itself to determine whether missense variation in this gene should be down-weighted under BP1 for this specific interpretation.
BP2 No phase information was identified to show this variant in trans with a pathogenic variant for a dominant disorder or in cis for any relevant disorder context.
BP5 No evidence was identified that an alternate molecular cause fully explains an observed phenotype independent of this variant.
BP6 No reputable source classified this variant as benign or likely benign.

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. ASXL1, a tumor suppressor and epigenetic regulator, is inactivated by mutation in various cancer types, most frequently in myeloid malignancies.
