DCM Precision Medicine Study Variant Interpretation Criteria

Strength Specification type Rule abbreviation Rule description
Pathogenic criteria
Very strong Reintroduced ACMG criterion for DCM gene specification PVS1 Null variant in LMNA or SCN5A
Strong none PS1 Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant
none PS2 De novo (paternity confirmed) in a patient with disease and no family history
none PS3 Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect
none PS4 Prevalence of variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared to controls OR variant identified in ≥15 probands with consistent phenotypes OR variant identified in ≥10 confirmed unlreated probands with consistent phenotypes
none PP1_Strong Variant segregates in ≥7 meioses in DCM genes with established evidence
Strength modification, DCM gene specification PVS1_Strong Null variant in FLNC, BAG3,and TTN A-band
Moderate DCM gene specification PM1 Located in hotspot (For DCM, RBM20 exon 9, amino acids 634, 636, 637, 638)
DCM gene specification, study specific PM2 Absent from gnomAD or at extremely low frequency in all gnomAD non-founder populations with available data
Reintroduced ACMG criterion, DCM gene specification PM3 For recessive disorders, detected in transwith a pathogenic variant (rarely observed with TNNI3 and TNNT2 variants)
none PM4 In-frame deletions/insertions of any size in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants
none PM5 Different missense change at same amino acid residue previously established as pathogenic
DCM specific PM6 De novo without confirmation of paternity (parental clinical data required)
DCM gene specification PVS1_Moderate Null variant in gene with evidence supporting loss of function as disease mechanism (VCL, PLN, DSP)
none PS4_Moderate Variant identified in ≥6 probands with consistent phenotypes
none PP1_Moderate Variant segregates in ≥5 meioses in DCM genes with established evidence
Supporting none PP1 Variant segregates in ≥3 meioses in DCM genes with established evidence
Method specification PP3 Computational evidence support a deleterious effect (REVEL score >0.7)
none PS4_Supporting Variant identified in ≥2 probands with consistent phenotypes
Benign
Stand alone none BA1 Variant allele frequency is >0.1% in any gnomaAD non-founder population
DCM gene specification BP1_Stand_Alone Missense variant in TTN
Strong DCM gene specification, study specific BS1 Variant allele frequency is >0.05% in any gnomAD non-founder population
none BS3 Well established in vitroor in vivo functional studies show no damaging effect
none BS4 Non-segregation in affected members of a family
Supporting none BP2 Observed as a compound heterozygote (in trans) or double heterozygote in genes with overlapping function
Method specification BP4 Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (REVEL score <0.15)
Study specific BP7 Unlikely to affect protein function based on calculated Sequence Ontology terms for the transcript(s) of interest.
