The recorded framework is ClinGen NRAS VCEP v1.0. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
Gly13 in NRAS lies within the P-loop domain (residues 10-17 in HRAS, analogous in NRAS), which is an approved functional domain in the RASopathy VCEP supplemental material (Alignment with PM1 domains). This is also a statistically significant mutational hotspot per cancerhotspots.org. The VCEP specifies moderate strength for PM1 application at approved functional domains. The P-loop is critical for nucleotide binding and GTPase activity.
The RASopathy VCEP states that PP2 is applicable to all RASopathy genes described and curated. NRAS is a RASopathy gene with a low rate of benign missense variation where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease. This is a missense variant (p.Gly13Val).
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect. REVEL score of 0.789 predicts damaging. BayesDel score of 0.314 supports a deleterious effect. SpliceAI delta score of 0.00 indicates no splicing impact. The VCEP specifies supporting strength for PP3 when multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
ClinGen RASopathy Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines Version 1.0 v1.0 lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM1 moderate, PP2 supporting, PP3 supporting; combination = 1 moderate + 2 supporting, which maps to VUS.

c.38G>T (p.Gly13Val) is located in the P-loop domain (residues 10-17), an approved functional domain critical for GTP binding and hydrolysis in NRAS, satisfying PM1 at moderate strength per the ClinGen RASopathy VCEP.
PP2 is met at supporting strength as this is a missense variant in NRAS, a RASopathy gene where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease, per the VCEP specification.
Multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect (REVEL = 0.789, BayesDel = 0.314), satisfying PP3 at supporting strength per the VCEP.
The variant is present at extremely low frequency in gnomAD (v2.1: 1/251,492; v4.1: 1/1,614,026) and is absent from gnomAD-Canada, consistent with a rare disease-causing variant, though PM2 is not met per strict VCEP requirement for complete absence.
The variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic by two clinical laboratories (ClinVar ID 375876) and is annotated as Likely Oncogenic by OncoKB with 141 somatic occurrences in COSMIC, supporting its functional significance, though these alone do not independently meet PS4 or PS5 criteria per VCEP rules.
PVS1, PP5, BP6, PP4 are not applicable per the RASopathy VCEP specification. BP1 is not applicable as this is a missense variant, not a truncating variant. BP7 is not applicable as this is not a synonymous variant.
