CDH1 p.Thr438fs
c.1312del · rs1555515920 · VCV545807
ClinGen expert panel — CDH1 VCEP
Pathogenic for CDH1-related diffuse gastric and lobular breast cancer. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PVS1 PM2_Supporting PM5_Supporting
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The c.1312delA p.(Thr438fs) variant is predicted to result in a premature stop codon that leads to nonsense mediate decay (PVS1 and PM5_supporting). The variant is absent in the gnomAD cohort (PM2_supporting; http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Therefore, 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 (CDH1 VCEP specifications version 3.1): PVS1, PM2_supporting, PM5_supporting.

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.
Population frequency
No gnomAD frequency available for this variant. This is missing data, not an absence: the variant may or may not be present in gnomAD. Rarity (ACMG PM2) and BA1/BS1 cannot be assessed for it.
