Utilization of ACMG criteria and knowledgebase in PathoMAN variant curation

Category ACMG criteria Utilization of ACMG criteria in PathoMAN’s variant classification
literature and other sources PVS1 Tier 1 variants (Frameshift, truncating, essential splice and initiation codon) in curated list of OG and TSG and not in last exon
public databases Missense variant (hgvs protein change) in ClinVar with review status >= 2 irrespective of the genomic alternative allele
de novo data PS2 User Input
public databases; functional data PS3 Variant in list of pathogenic variants knowledgebase aggregated from literature with functional evidence, public database with loss of function reports, Tier 1 variants in ClinVar reported with review status >=2 and missense variants reported by ENIGMA
population frequency data PS4 Fisher’s case-control test odds ratio > 3 and Pval < 0.05 against ExAC-noTCGA and gnomAD population of interest (Applies to variants with BA1, BS1, BS2 and PM2 equal to 0)
public databases PM1 Amino acid residue in protein’s domain or residue for signalling or protein-protein interaction or in active site from Uniprot
population frequency data PM2 Variant absent from ExAC-noTCGA or gnomAD
allelic/genotypic data PM3 Not used in the current version
public databases PM4 Inframe ins/del or stop loss in a non-repetitive region from UCSC genome browser
public databases PM5 Missense variant in ClinVar with review status >=2 irrespective of the alternative amino acid change at the same position as that of the reported pathogenic variant in clinvar
de novo data PM6 User Input
segregation data PP1 User Input
public databases PP2 Variant in gene with significant pathogenic missense burden in ClinVar
genomic annotation and computational predictive data PP3 in-silico predictors agree on pathogenicity or deleteriousness of the variant
Other (disease specific) PP4 Not used in the current version
public databases PP5 Variant in ClinVar with review status <2 and pathogenic without conflicts
population frequency data BA1 Variant seen in ExAC-noTCGA or gnomAD with AF > 5%
population frequency data BS1 Variant seen in ExAC-noTCGA or gnomAD with AF between 1%–5%
population frequency data BS2 Variant seen in ExAC-noTCGA or gnomAD general population in homozygous form
public databases; functional data BS3 Variant in list of benign variants knowledgebase aggregated from literature with functional evidence, public database with loss of function reports, Tier 1 variants in ClinVar reported with review status >=2 and missense variants reported by ENIGMA
de novo data BS4 User Input
public databases BP1 Variant in gene with significant benign missense burden in ClinVar
allelic/genotypic data BP2 Not used in the current version
public databases BP3 Inframe ins/del or stop loss in a repetitive region from UCSC genome browser
genomic annotation and computational predictive data BP4 in-silico predictors agree on benignity or tolerance of the variant
Other (disease specific) BP5 Not used in the current version
public databases BP6 Variant in ClinVar with review status <2 and benign without conflicts
genomic annotation and computational predictive data BP7 synonymous variant with dbscSNV adaptive boosting and random forest score < 0.6
