ClinGen expert panel — CDH1 VCEP
Pathogenic for CDH1-related diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancer. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PVS1 PP1_Strong PM2_Supporting PM5_Supporting PS2 PS4_Strong
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The c.1792C>T (p.Arg598*) variant is predicted to result in a premature stop codon that leads to a truncated or absent protein (PVS1, PM5_Supporting). This variant is absent in the gnomAD cohort (PM2_Supporting; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant was found to co-segregate with disease in multiple affected family members, with >7 meioses observed across at least two families (PP1_Strong; PMID: 21696387, 16061854, 11419427 and SCV000275702.5). This variant has also been reported in at least four families meeting HDGC clinical criteria (PS4_Strong; PMID: 9751616, 21696387, 16061854, 11419427). There is one known de novo observation of this variant with parental confirmation in a patient with diffuse gastric cancer and/or lobular breast cancer (PS2; PMID: 21696387). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied as specified by the CDH1 Variant Curation Expert Panel (Variant Interpretation Guidelines Version 3.1): PVS1, PM2_Supporting, PP1_Strong, PS4, PS2, PM5_Supporting.

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.
Population frequency
Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
