Reasoning
The PTEN VCEP permits PS4 from phenotype-specificity scores or, at strong level, significantly increased variant prevalence in affected individuals compared with controls. The available case evidence identifies the canonical splice variant and ClinVar classifications but provides no variant-specific proband phenotype, Cleveland Clinic score, pediatric phenotype score, independent-proband count, case-control enrichment statistic, p-value, or confidence interval. Therefore no PS4 strength can be assigned. The VCEP also states that PS4 cannot be combined with PP4, and PP4 is not applicable for this VCEP.
VCEP rule
Probands with specificity score ≥16 (see text). ... Probands with specificity score 4-15.5 (see text) OR The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls. ... Probands with specificity score of 2-3.5 (see text). ... Phenotype specific for disease with single genetic etiology. Proband(s) with specificity score of 1-1.5 (see text).
Evidence considered
- The case bundle contains no variant-specific proband phenotype, Cleveland Clinic score, pediatric phenotype score, specificity score, or case-control enrichment result for NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A.
- ClinVar variation 377376 reports Pathogenic from two laboratories and Likely pathogenic from one laboratory, but those classifications are not phenotype-specific proband or case-control enrichment evidence and are not used to infer PS4.
Still missing
- Variant-specific clinical phenotype or family-history data for independent probands
- Cleveland Clinic scores or pediatric phenotype scores sufficient to calculate the specificity score
- A sufficiently powered case-control study with variant prevalence in affected individuals and controls, including p-value and 95% confidence interval
