Reasoning
The population data report homozygotes, including 16 homozygotes in gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes and 2 homozygotes in gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes, which is potentially relevant to recessive MUTYH-associated disease. However, gnomAD non-cancer status does not document age, clinical examination, adenomatous polyposis status, cancer status beyond cohort labeling, or penetrance, and the available evidence cannot establish that these individuals were healthy adults unaffected by a variably penetrant, adult-onset condition. BS2 therefore cannot be applied without phenotyped observations or a validated MUTYH-specific rule allowing these population counts.
Rule
Generic BS2 requires observation in healthy adults or an otherwise clinically appropriate unaffected context; population homozygote counts alone are not sufficient here without documented age and phenotype for this variably penetrant, adult-onset recessive disorder.
Evidence considered
- gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer exomes report 16 homozygotes among 861 alternate alleles, and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer genomes report 2 homozygotes among 230 alternate alleles.
- The population records provide cohort labels and allele counts but do not provide individual ages, examination findings, adenomatous polyposis status, or sufficiently characterized unaffected status.
- The retrieved MUTYH InSiGHT specification has no populated BS2 rule; the gnomAD v4.1 query failed and cannot resolve the phenotypic gap.
Still missing
- No phenotyped homozygous individuals with documented age, clinical examination, polyposis status, and cancer history were identified.
- No populated MUTYH-specific BS2 rule was available to define whether these gnomAD homozygotes qualify despite uncertain penetrance and age of onset.
