PM2_Supporting BP7 BP4

Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)

NM_001754.5(RUNX1):c.711G>A (p.Arg237=) is a synonymous variant which has a SpliceAI score ≤ 0.20 (0.03) (BP4, BP7). This variant has a MAF ≤ 0.00005 in gnomAD v4 across all subpopulations with at least 20x coverage for RUNX1 (PM2_supporting). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely benign. ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the Myeloid Malignancy Variant Curation Expert Panel for RUNX1: BP4, BP7, PM2_supporting.

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.
