NM_000455.5:c.112C>G is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and present at extremely low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (AF = 5.58e-06; 9/1,613,804 alleles, no homozygotes). This is well below the 0.1% threshold for PM2 in the generic ACMG/AMP framework. The variant is also absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0.

Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on the gene product. SpliceAI predicts no splice impact (max delta = 0.0). REVEL score is 0.328, below pathogenic thresholds. BayesDel score is -0.085 (negative, favoring a benign interpretation). These findings meet BP4 at supporting benign level.
Recorded classification: Uncertain significance
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM2 supporting, BP4 supporting benign; combination = 1 supporting + 1 supporting benign, which maps to VUS.

NM_000455.5:c.112C>G (p.Pro38Ala) in STK11 is a missense variant with no functional, segregation, or case-control data available.
The variant is extremely rare in population databases, absent from gnomAD v2.1 and present in gnomAD v4.1 at AF=5.58e-06 (9/1,613,804 alleles), meeting PM2 at supporting level.
Multiple in silico tools predict no deleterious effect: SpliceAI max delta=0.0, REVEL=0.328, BayesDel=-0.085, meeting BP4 at supporting benign level.
ClinVar reports the variant as Uncertain Significance by multiple clinical laboratories (Variation ID 458014) with no expert panel classification.
The variant does not reside in a known functional domain or mutational hotspot. No same-residue pathogenic comparator (PM5) or de novo evidence (PS2/PM6) was identified.
Overall, the available evidence is limited to population frequency data (PM2_supporting) and computational predictions (BP4_supporting_benign), which offset each other. The variant remains a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
No criteria match.

PM1 The variant resides at codon 38 (p.Pro38Ala), which is in the N-terminal region of STK11, upstream of the kinase domain (residues ~49-309).
