The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
This variant is located at codon Arg374 in exon 9 of SMARCB1, within the C-terminal region adjacent to the SNF5 functional domain (sucrose non-fermenting domain 5). Multiple publications establish that missense mutations clustered in exons 8 and 9 of SMARCB1 cause Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS). CancerHotspots.org identifies this residue as lying in a statistically significant mutational hotspot. The SNF5 domain is a well-characterized functional domain essential for chromatin remodeling activity, and the variant is in a region with no described benign variation.
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 (exomes) and gnomAD v4.1 (0/1,590,376 alleles, including 0/1,168,738 non-Finnish European alleles), well below the 0.1% threshold for PM2. Absence from large population databases in a gene where missense variation is constrained supports pathogenicity.
A different missense change at the same amino acid residue (p.Arg374Gln, c.1121G>A) has been reported as a de novo pathogenic variant in multiple unrelated individuals with Coffin-Siris syndrome (PMID:23906836, patient K2426; PMID:26364901; PMID:31273213, patients 1, 8, and 11). The p.Arg374Gln variant is described as affecting an evolutionarily highly conserved amino acid in close proximity to the SNF5 domain. This satisfies PM5: novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before.
Multiple in silico tools support a deleterious effect. REVEL score is 0.861 (well above the 0.5 damaging threshold). BayesDel score is 0.50247 (above the 0.27 threshold). SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (max delta 0.01). The variant lies in a statistically significant mutational hotspot (CancerHotspots.org). The combination of in silico evidence supports a damaging effect on protein structure/function.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PM1 moderate, PM2 moderate, PM5 moderate, PP3 supporting; combination = 3 moderate + 1 supporting, which maps to Likely Pathogenic.

NM_003073.4:c.1120C>T (p.Arg374Trp) is a missense variant in exon 9 of SMARCB1. This variant is absent from gnomAD population databases (0/1,590,376 alleles), supporting moderate evidence for pathogenicity (PM2).
The variant is located at codon Arg374 within a statistically significant mutational hotspot (CancerHotspots.org), adjacent to the SNF5 functional domain. SMARCB1 missense mutations clustered in exons 8 and 9 are an established cause of Coffin-Siris syndrome (PM1).
A different missense change at the same residue, p.Arg374Gln (c.1121G>A), has been reported as a de novo pathogenic variant in multiple unrelated individuals with Coffin-Siris syndrome in three independent publications, satisfying PM5.
Multiple in silico tools predict a deleterious effect: REVEL score 0.861 (damaging) and BayesDel score 0.50247 (damaging), supporting a pathogenic role (PP3).
The exact variant NM_003073.4:c.1120C>T has been reported in one individual with schwannomatosis and possible attenuated Coffin-Siris phenotype (PMID:30555950). No functional studies, de novo confirmation, or segregation data are available for this variant.
Applying generic ACMG/AMP 2015 criteria: PM1 (moderate) + PM2 (moderate) + PM5 (moderate) + PP3 (supporting). This combination does not meet the threshold for Likely Pathogenic (requires ≥2 strong or 1 strong + ≥3 moderate). The variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS).
