Please note this is a beta version of the ClinGen Evidence Repository. This resource is intended to provide access to variant level evidence used and applied by ClinGen Variant Curation Expert Panels in the classification of variants. In this beta version, the evidence is limited to curation notes and referenced literature (PMIDs).
For general information about ClinGen Expert Panels and Variant Curation please visit: Clinical Domain Working Groups. For specific inquiries regarding a variant classification or evidence curation (e.g. population database queried, segregation counts or other evidence used) or to submit general comments about the evidence repo, please email us.
The resource is undergoing updates and tesing. Should you encounter any issues regarding the data displayed, lack of functionality or other problems, please let us know so we can rectify these accordingly. Your help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
ACMG variant classification Malignant Hyperthermia
Popmax allele frequency >0.0038 (0.38%) BA1
Observed in a healthy adult individual for a recessive (homozygous), dominant (heterozygous), or X-linked (hemizygous) disorder with full penetrance expected at an early age.
•Two or more variant positive individuals with a negative IVCT/CHCT test
BS2
Popmax allele frequency >0.0008 (0.08%) BS1
The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls
•1 MH case point. Probands with a personal or family historyb of an MH event are awarded 0.5 points, probands with a personal or family history of a positive (MHS) IVCT/CHCT are awarded an additional 0.5 points. Popmax in gnomAD ≤0.00006. For variants with popmax MAF in gnomAD >0.00006, an odds ratio of ≥2.08 when comparing MH case points to allele count in gnomAD can qualify. Popmax in gnomAD must be <0.0038
PS4-Supporting
The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls
•2-6 MH case points. Probands with a personal or family historyb of an MH event are awarded 0.5 points, probands with a personal or family history of a positive (MHS) IVCT/CHCT are awarded an additional 0.5 points. Popmax in gnomAD ≤0.00006 * For variants with popmax MAF in gnomAD >0.00006, an odds ratio of ≥4.33 when comparing MH case points to allele count in gnomAD can qualify. Popmax in gnomAD must be <0.0038
PS4-Moderate
The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls
•≥7 MH case points. Probands with a personal or family history of an MH event areawarded 0.5 points, probands with a personal or family historyb of a positive (MHS)IVCT/CHCT are awarded an additional 0.5 points. Popmax in gnomAD ≤0.00006. * For variants with popmax MAF gnomAD >0.00006, an odds ratio of ≥18.7 when comparing MH case points to allele count in gnomAD can qualify. Popmax in gnomAD must be <0.0038
PS4
A synonymous (silent) variant for which splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice site AND the nucleotide is not highly conserved BP7
Computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product, REVEL score of <0.5 BP4
Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product
•Use REVEL score of >0.85
PP3-Moderate
Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense varaint previously determined to be pathogenic
•Previously established pathogenic variant must reach a classification of pathogenicity without PM5 * Grantham score for alternate pathogenic variant must be less than for variant being assessed
PM5
Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change
•Previously established pathogenic variant must reach a classification of pathogenicwithout PS1
PS1
