Underneath each variant, the associated phenotype is mentioned. Only the criteria that were fulfilled, are presented. A green label implies support for a pathogenic classification and is thus considered a positive or correct effect. The criteria are divided in three groups: the ones which remained identical for ACMG and AVCG (“shared” criteria), the ones which are present in only one of those two sets of guidelines (“unique” criteria) and the ones which have been altered to make the AVCG (“altered” criteria). The full criterion corresponding with the names can be found in Table 4. For every variant, there are not enough supporting, moderate and/or strong criteria fulfilled to be classified as likely pathogenic.
