Reasoning
The ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 BP2 points-based framework applies, but the case bundle contains no unaffected-individual observation, ATM allele in trans, dominant-gene comparator in trans, cis pathogenic variant, zygosity, age, or A-T phenotype information. Therefore no BP2 points or strength can be assigned.
Rule
ATM VCEP v1.5: BP2_Strong <= -4 points; BP2_Moderate = -2 points; BP2 = -1 point, using the ATM PM3/BP2 table.
Evidence considered
- The governing source is the ClinGen HBOP ATM VCEP v1.5 specification, which directs use of the ATM PM3/BP2 points table for BP2 and assigns final BP2 strength from the summed BP2 points.
- The ATM PM3/BP2 table requires specific unaffected-individual, zygosity, trans/cis, inheritance, and age/phenotype observations for BP2; none of those case-specific observations are present in the consolidated evidence bundle.
- CHECKLIST bp2_1: Has the ATM PM3/BP2 table been consulted to determine the points assigned for this proband and the final BP2 code assignment from the sum of BP2-related points? — TRUE — The bundle contains and identifies the ATM PM3/BP2 VCEP v1.5 points table and its BP2 strength thresholds, but no case points can be assigned.
- CHECKLIST bp2_2: Is the individual homozygous or does the individual have the variant in trans with a likely pathogenic or pathogenic ATM variant for possible downgrade? — NA — Zygosity and any second ATM allele or its classification are not documented.
- CHECKLIST bp2_3: If assessing a homozygous or in trans variant for possible downgrade in an unaffected individual, is the individual 18 years or older with no evidence of A-T? — NA — Unaffected status, age, zygosity/phase, and evidence regarding A-T are not documented.
- CHECKLIST bp2_4: Is the variant observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene/disorder, or observed in cis with a pathogenic variant in any inheritance pattern? — NA — No trans dominant-gene observation, cis pathogenic variant, or phase data are documented.
- CHECKLIST bp2_5: Does the sum of BP2-related points meet one of the stated final assignment thresholds: BP2_Strong ≤ -4 points, BP2_Moderate = -2 points, or BP2 = -1 point? — NA — The BP2 point sum cannot be calculated because the required unaffected-individual, zygosity, phase, age, and comparator-variant data are missing.
Still missing
- An unaffected individual carrying the variant with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic ATM variant in trans is not documented.
- The individual's zygosity, age, A-T status, and whether the observation is from a laboratory or database setting are not documented.
- A pathogenic variant in a fully penetrant dominant gene in trans or a pathogenic variant in cis is not documented.
- The per-individual BP2 point total cannot be calculated without the missing allelic, inheritance, and clinical observations.
