The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
NM_003620.3:c.1619del is a frameshift deletion in exon 6 (the terminal exon) of PPM1D, predicted to cause premature termination at p.Glu540GlyfsTer7, removing the C-terminal 66 amino acids including the degradation signal domain. Under ClinGen SVI PVS1 recommendations (PMC6185798), frameshift variants are eligible for PVS1 when loss of function is an established disease mechanism. PPM1D germline loss-of-function disease context is supported by literature review. However, the variant resides in the last exon and is predicted to escape nonsense-mediated decay; PPM1D exon 6 truncations have been characterized as gain-of-function in functional studies. Downgraded from PVS1_VeryStrong to PVS1_Strong per PMC6185798 due to NMD escape and residual protein expression with retained phosphatase domain, though the removed C-terminal region contains a functionally critical degradation signal.
NM_003620.3:c.1619del is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 (0/1,614,172 alleles), with zero allele count across all ancestral populations. This meets the PM2 threshold for absence in population databases (allele frequency <0.1%) under the non-VCEP generic ACMG framework.
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: PVS1 strong, PM2 supporting; combination = 1 strong + 1 supporting, which maps to VUS.

NM_003620.3:c.1619del (p.Glu540GlyfsTer7) is a frameshift deletion in exon 6 (terminal exon) of PPM1D, predicted to result in premature termination with removal of the C-terminal degradation domain.
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1 (0/1,614,172 alleles, AF=0.0%) across all ancestral populations, and absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0.
The variant is absent from ClinVar and has no clinical germline classification. It has been observed as a somatic event in COSMIC (COSV99045424, n=2).
OncoKB curates this variant as Likely Oncogenic with predicted gain-of-function effect, consistent with the broader literature on PPM1D exon 6 truncating mutations.
Five publications were reviewed in full text; none specifically mention NM_003620.3:c.1619del (p.Glu540GlyfsTer7). PMID:24880341 reports a nonsense variant at the same codon (E540X) in brainstem gliomas in a somatic context.
SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score 0.00). REVEL and BayesDel scores are not available for this indel variant.
Under the generic ACMG/AMP 2015 classification framework (PMID:25741868), PVS1_Strong and PM2_Supporting are assigned. This combination (1 Strong + 1 Supporting) does not meet the threshold for Likely Pathogenic (requires 1 Strong + 1-2 Moderate, 3 Moderate, or 2 Moderate + 2 Supporting). The overall classification is Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS).

Six of the PPM1D mutations were nonsense mutations targeting Glu472, Leu484, Ser516, Glu525 (2 cases), and Glu540, while one was a frameshift mutation that disrupted Asn448 and resulted in a de novo stop codon
Results; describes PPM1D nonsense mutations including E540X
In five patients (0.92%), we detected the electropherogram pattern consistent with the deletion/insertion mutations.
Truncating mutations in the terminal exon of PPM1D have been identified in clonal hematopoiesis and myeloid neoplasms, with a striking enrichment in patients previously exposed to chemotherapy.
We identified 45 truncating mutations in the terminal exon of PPM1D in 38 patients (1.5%), making PPM1D the 8th most commonly mutated gene in MPNs.
