Table 1b. Criteria for variant classification.
Pathogenicity | Algorithm |
---|---|
Deleterious | Found in patient(s) and not controls OR in significant excess in patients AND seen on gnomAD at less than 1 in 50,000; AND Pathogenic Strong evidence 1) OR 2), PLUS one additional Pathogenic Strong or two Pathogenic moderate or one Pathogenic moderate and one Pathogenic Supporting criterion |
Likely deleterious | The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls, or only seen on gnomAD at less than 1 in 10,000; AND Pathogenic Moderate evidence 1) OR 2) OR 3) AND one additional Pathogenic Strong or Moderate or Supporting criteria. |
Possibly deleterious | Found on gnomAD at less than 1 in 5000 and at least one Supporting criterion |
Uncertain | Insufficient or conflicting evidence Missense mutation not nearby other missense mutations thought to be pathogenic |
Likely benign | One Benign Strong criteria OR one Benign Moderate AND one Benign Supporting criteria OR two Benign Supporting criteria |
Benign | Benign Independent OR one Benign Strong evidence criterion AND two further Benign Moderate or Benign Supporting criteria |
Risk factor | Previously reported as risk factor, either variant itself or clear established pattern in gene, AND >1 in 10000 in gnomAD; AND the prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls |
