Glanzmann thrombasthenia

ClinGen expert panel — Platelet Disorders VCEP

Likely Benign for Glanzmann thrombasthenia. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):

BP7 BP4

Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)

The c.2946G>A (p.Val982=) variant is a synonymous variant that is not predicted by SpliceAI to impact splicing and the nucleotide is only moderately conserved, as shown by phyloP score of 0.703 (BP4, BP7). The highest population minor allele frequency in gnomAD v3.1.2 is 0.0001448 (6/41436 alleles) in the African/African American population. This intermediate allele frequency is lower than the ClinGen PD VCEP threshold (>0.00158) for BS1 but higher than the threshold (<0.0001) for PM2_Supporting, so no allele frequency criteria were met. In addition, no cases of the variant segregating with Glanzmann thrombasthenia were found in the literature. In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Likely Benign for autosomal recessive Glanzmann Thrombasthenia with the following ACMG/AMP applied, as specified by the ClinGen PD VCEP: BP4, BP7 (VCEP specifications version 2.1)

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.
