Apply Cardiomyopathy VCEP feedback: BP7 splice-only, drop PS4 tracks, evidence-first Variant Evidence Summary. refs #37446
Per the CM VCEP's answers to the interpretation questions:
- BP7: remove the conservation (phyloP) requirement and set the SpliceAI cutoff
to < 0.1, per Walker 2023 (PMID 37352859).
- PS4: remove the Walsh 2017 gene-level OR and Atlas EF display tracks (the VCEP
computes PS4 from current cohorts). Scripts and data are retained in the tree;
the tracks are dropped from the hub trackDb.
- Rename the former provisional/computable-codes track to "Variant Evidence
Summary" and switch its mouseover to an evidence-first layout: each item leads
with the data and is tagged with the ACMG criterion it would support; no overall
classification is computed.
- Confirmed and reflected in the docs: EvRepo is the PS1/PM5 reference (Q1); the
PM4 last-exon / within-50-nt rule (Q2); CardioBoost stays informational (Q6);
the PM1 codon ranges are HCM-only (Q8); no functional-score dataset is currently
VCEP-approved (Q4).

-B.11: Computable ACMG Criteria Summary track (NOT a VCEP classification).

For every gnomAD-observed variant in the 8 cardiomyopathy gene CDS regions +/-20 nt
-splice padding, lists the subset of ACMG/AMP evidence codes a hub can compute
-automatically. No overall classification is calculated:
+splice padding, lists, per variant, the computable evidence and the ACMG/AMP criterion
+each item would support. No overall classification is calculated:
- BA1 / BS1 / PM2_Supporting (gnomAD v4.1 FAF95; B.3)
- PP3 / BP4 (REVEL; B.4; missense only, per hgVai consequence)
- PM1 (B.1 hotspot regions; HCM-scoped; NOT combined with PM5)
- PS1 / PM5 (EvRepo P/LP reference, LEAVE-ONE-OUT; see caveat below)
- PM4 (NMD-escaping truncating variants, non-MYBPC3; CSpec disease-specific)
- - BP7 (synonymous + SpliceAI no-impact + not conserved)
- - Splice safety net (SpliceAI >= 0.20 overrides a benign-leaning call to VUS)
+ - BP7 (synonymous + SpliceAI < 0.1, per Walker 2023; conservation not required)
+ - Splice flag (SpliceAI >= 0.20 shown as possible splice impact; informational)
- HCM/DCM tag (MYH7, TNNT2: PM1 is HCM-calibrated)
CONSEQUENCE/CODON/AA come from the Phase-1 hgVai annotation TSV (cmpVCEPAnnotate).
HONESTY / KNOWN LIMITS (surfaced to the VCEP, not hidden):
* This mockup CANNOT compute the clinical/functional codes (PS2, PS3, PS4, PP1,
PP4, BS3, BS4). Many true P/LP calls rest on those, so this track structurally
under-calls pathogenicity. It is best read as a benign/VUS-axis + "flag for
expert review" aid, NOT an accuracy claim. No concordance metric is asserted.
- * PS1/PM5 reference set: the CSpec names NO database ("apply per Richards 2015").
- We use the VCEP EvRepo P/LP set with LEAVE-ONE-OUT (a variant cannot earn PS1/PM5
- from its own EvRepo entry). The choice of reference DB is an open VCEP question.
- * PM4 strength (MOD vs SUP) and BP7 conservation metric/threshold are not fixed by
- the CSpec - surfaced as VCEP questions; provisional choices are flagged in-line.
+ * PS1/PM5 reference set: the VCEP confirmed EvRepo as the source. We use the VCEP EvRepo
+ P/LP set with LEAVE-ONE-OUT (a variant cannot earn PS1/PM5 from its own EvRepo entry).
+ * BP7 is applied per the CM VCEP: SpliceAI < 0.1, no conservation requirement (Walker 2023,
+ PMID 37352859). PM4 strength (MOD vs SUP) remains a per-variant judgement per the CSpec.
