The variant received 3 classification points (ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025). O3_ModerateO7_Supporting

The NM_024649.5(BBS1):c.1169T>C (p.Met390Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant has a gnomAD grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) of 0.000000899, indicating it is observed in the general population. Note: a gnomAD entry for this variant shows a statistical allele-bias signature, consistent with mosaic/somatic contamination (e.g. age-related clonal hematopoiesis) rather than true inherited population frequency — this frequency should not be read as evidence of a common, benign germline variant. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. A different missense at the same amino acid position has been reported as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic in ClinVar: p.M390R: Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic (ClinVar VariationId 12143, 2 stars) Other variants at the same amino acid position have been reported in ClinVar (not pathogenic): p.M390V: Uncertain_significance (ClinVar VariationId 1979201, 1 star)

Classification according to ACGS-UK Somatic Oncogenicity v2025

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 3 points.

O3Absent or very rare in population
Absent or extremely rare in gnomAD (AC ≤ 2) — O3 moderate; GnomAD: AF = 0.000001, AC = 0 — absent/extremely rare (O3 moderate [+2])
O7Mutational hotspot or critical domain
Supporting: cancerhotspots.org hit, critical domain, or missense neighbourhood hotspot; No cancerhotspots.org hit at this position; UniProt domain: 0 pathogenic, 0 benign.; ±8 AA neighbourhood: 2 pathogenic, 0 benign (OR vs. background: 25.0); Variant does not impact splicing — splice-hotspot path not applicable
