PVS1 |
Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multiexon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease. |
PS1 |
Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change. |
PS2 |
De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history. |
PS3 |
Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product. |
BS1 |
Allele frequency is greater than expected for disorder. |
PM1 |
Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain (e.g., active site of an enzyme) without benign variation. |
PM2 |
Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium. |
PM3 |
For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant |
PM4 |
Protein length changes as a result of in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants. |
PM5 |
Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before. |
PP1 |
Cosegregation with disease in multiple affected family members in a gene definitively known to cause the disease. |
PP2 |
Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and in which missense variants are a common mechanism of disease. |
PP3 |
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.) |
PP5 |
Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation. |
BP4 |
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.) |
BP6 |
Reputable source recently reports variant as benign, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation. |
