Table 10. ACMG rules for variant classificationJohn W. Henson MDRobert G. Resta MS, CGCDiagnosis and Management of Hereditary Cancer
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)-recommended five variant classification categories (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign) have been widely used in medical genetics. However, these guidelines are fundamentally constrained in practice owi...
The ACMG guidelines classify genetic variants into five categories: pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign. This classification is based on a combination of clinical evidence, population data, functional studies, and computational predictions. To interpret a genetic...
ResultsThe concordance rate of variant classification between the guidelines was 72.9%(43/59). The 13.6%(8/59) of variants were upgraded and 13.6% (8/59) of variants downgraded in the classifications of the 2018 HL-EP guideline. A couple of rules saw significant differences between the guide...
1. **Classification System:** The guidelines establish a standardized classification system for variants, categorizing them into five distinct classes (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign), based on specific criteria such as population frequency, functional ...

The following “gene level” characteristics needed to be determined for the analyzed genes in order for the ACMG guidelines for variant classification to be applied: (1) mechanism of mutation leading to disease, i.e., loss of function (LOF) or gain of function (for PVS1) and whether misse...
(ACMG) recommendations provided interpretative categories of sequence variants and an algorithm for interpretation, the recommendations did not provide defined terms or detailed variant classification guidance.1 This report describes updated standards and guidelines for the classification of sequence variants ...
