Generic ACMG/AMP final classification combination rules (PMID:25741868) were applied because the retrieved DDX41 ClinGen Myeloid Malignancy specification did not provide a complete usable final-classification rule set.
Classification rationale
PM2PP3 VUS
DDX41 c.1589G>A

The DDX41 c.1589G>A (p.Gly530Asp) variant has been observed in somatic cancers in COSMIC (COSV57250947, 4 occurrences) and has been reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance from 4 clinical laboratory submissions.1 This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in the general population.2 In silico data support a damaging missense effect, with a REVEL score of 0.901, while SpliceAI predicts no significant splice effect with a maximum delta score of 0.03.3

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong

This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and absent from gnomAD v4.1, corresponding to an observed population frequency of 0, which is below the 0.1% rarity threshold used for PM2 support in this workflow and is consistent with rarity in the general population.

PP3 supporting review Pathogenic
Computational evidence supports a deleterious protein effect for this missense change: REVEL is 0.901, while SpliceAI shows no meaningful splice disruption with a maximum delta score of 0.03. Taken together, these data support PP3 for a damaging missense effect rather than a splice mechanism.

Pathogenic
PS1 No evidence was identified that a different nucleotide change causing the same amino acid substitution, p.(Gly530Asp), is already established as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, so PS1 was not assessed.
PS2 No confirmed de novo occurrence with established maternity and paternity was identified, so PS2 was not assessed.
PS3 No well-established functional study demonstrating a damaging effect of p.(Gly530Asp) on DDX41 function was identified, so PS3 was not assessed.
PS4 This variant has been observed in somatic cancers in COSMIC (COSV57250947, n=4) and is listed in ClinVar as Uncertain significance, but no case-control enrichment or clearly quantified excess in unrelated individuals with DDX41-related hematologic malignancy predisposition was identified, so PS4 is not met.
PM1 This variant has not been shown to lie in a well-established mutational hotspot or a critical domain without benign variation; Cancer Hotspots did not identify a statistically significant hotspot at residue G530, so PM1 is not met.
PM5 No evidence was identified that a different missense change at codon 530 is already established as pathogenic or likely pathogenic, so PM5 was not assessed.
PM6 No assumed de novo occurrence without full parental confirmation was identified, so PM6 was not assessed.
PP1 No segregation data were identified showing this variant tracking with DDX41-related hematologic malignancy predisposition in a family, so PP1 was not assessed.
PP2 Available evidence was insufficient to determine whether missense variation is a well-established pathogenic mechanism for DDX41 with a sufficiently low benign missense rate to support PP2, so PP2 was not assessed.
PP4 No individual-level phenotype, tumor, or family history details were identified that are sufficiently specific for DDX41-related hematologic malignancy predisposition to support PP4, so PP4 was not assessed.
Benign
BA1 This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, giving an observed population frequency of 0, which is below the 1% threshold required for BA1, so BA1 is not met.
BS1 This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, giving an observed population frequency of 0, which is below the 0.3% threshold used for BS1 in this workflow, so BS1 is not met.
BS2 No evidence was identified showing this variant in well-phenotyped healthy adults at a frequency sufficient to argue against pathogenicity, so BS2 was not assessed.
BS3 No well-established functional study demonstrating normal DDX41 function for p.(Gly530Asp) was identified, so BS3 was not assessed.
BS4 No segregation data were identified showing lack of cosegregation of this variant with disease in informative relatives, so BS4 was not assessed.
BP1 Available evidence was insufficient to conclude that missense variation is an uncommon disease mechanism for DDX41 relative to truncating variants, so BP1 was not assessed.
BP3 No evidence was identified that this amino acid change falls within a repetitive region or a region without known function where in-frame variation is typically tolerated, so BP3 was not assessed.
BP4 Computational data do not support a benign effect overall.
BP5 No alternate molecular explanation was identified that would account for the phenotype independently of this variant, so BP5 was not assessed.
