The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
This variant is present in gnomAD at very low frequency overall (v2.1: 33/282,644 alleles, AF=0.012%; v4.1: 126/1,613,872 alleles, AF=0.008%), below the 0.1% threshold for PM2. No homozygotes are observed. The African/African American subpopulation AF is 0.112% in v2.1 (borderline above 0.1%) but 0.087% in v4.1, supporting overall rarity.
This variant has been observed in multiple individuals within gnomAD population databases (33 alleles in v2.1, 126 alleles in v4.1) who are presumed healthy adults based on gnomAD's exclusion of severe pediatric disease. Gorlin syndrome is a highly penetrant autosomal dominant disorder with early onset; observation of this variant in population controls at this frequency is consistent with a benign or low-penetrance variant.
Multiple in silico predictors support a benign effect for this variant: REVEL score 0.378 (below the 0.5 pathogenic threshold), BayesDel score -0.243824 (predicting benign), and SpliceAI max delta 0.05 (no predicted splicing impact). These represent multiple independent lines of computational evidence suggesting no functional consequence.
Five clinical diagnostic laboratories classify this variant as Likely benign (4 labs: GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Eurofins Ntd, Sema4) or Benign (1 lab: Labcorp Genetics/Invitae) in ClinVar (ClinVar ID 220182). One additional laboratory (ARUP) classifies as VUS. While the review status is 'criteria provided, single submitter' (1-star, below the 3-star expert panel threshold), the consensus across multiple independent clinical laboratories reporting with criteria supports BP6 at supporting benign level.
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, BS2 supporting benign, BP4 supporting benign, BP6 supporting benign; combination = 1 supporting + 3 supporting benign, which maps to Likely Benign.

This variant is a missense change (p.Arg638His) in PTCH1, a gene in which loss-of-function is an established mechanism for Gorlin syndrome (nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome), an autosomal dominant disorder with high penetrance and early onset.
The variant is present in gnomAD population databases at low frequency overall (v2.1: 33/282,644 alleles, AF=0.012%; v4.1: 126/1,613,872 alleles, AF=0.008%), with the highest subpopulation frequency in Africans/African Americans (0.112% in v2.1). No homozygotes have been observed.
The variant meets PM2 at supporting level: overall allele frequency is below the 0.1% threshold, though the African subpopulation frequency is borderline (0.112% in v2.1).
Five of six clinical diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar classify this variant as Likely benign or Benign (ClinVar ID 220182), providing supporting evidence for a benign interpretation (BP6_supporting).
Multiple in silico predictors support a benign effect: REVEL score 0.378, BayesDel score -0.243824, and SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta 0.05). These provide supporting benign evidence (BP4_supporting).
The variant has been observed in multiple individuals in gnomAD presumed to be healthy adults, which is inconsistent with a fully penetrant early-onset dominant disorder such as Gorlin syndrome, providing additional supporting benign evidence (BS2_supporting).
No pathogenic evidence criteria were met: there is no functional data supporting a damaging effect (PS3 not met), no case-control enrichment (PS4 not met), no de novo reports (PS2/PM6 not met), no segregation data (PP1 not met), the variant is not in a known hotspot or critical domain (PM1 not met), and no reputable source reports it as pathogenic (PP5 not met).
No functional studies of p.Arg638His or a systematically characterized range including this residue were identified. The variant has not been experimentally characterized for its effect on Hedgehog signaling, PTCH1-SMO interaction, or protein trafficking.
