ClinGen expert panel — CDH1 VCEP
Pathogenic for CDH1-related diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancer. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PVS1 PM2_Supporting PS4_Supporting PM5_Supporting
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The c.187C>T (p.Arg63*) 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). The variant has been reported in at least one family meeting HDGC clinical criteria (PS4_Supporting; PMID: 9751616). 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, PS4_Supporting, PM5_Supporting.

| Consequence | nonsense (stop-gain) | predicted loss-of-function in a haploinsufficient gene (ClinGen) |

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.
