I'm pleased to share our study assessing the impact of the Bayesian point-based system on the variant classification of hereditary cancer predisposition genes. The point system can reduce the VUS rate and assist in their sub-tiering.

There is always room for improvement! Bayesian point system reduces #VUS rates for #cancer predisposition genes compared to the #ACMG/AMP2015 guidelines bit.ly/48Cct4W @m_eldomery

ALT Screenshot of Figure 2: Sankey figures summarizing the classification changes between the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP 2015) guidelines and the point system for unique variants with discordant calls. A. Unique variants with discordant classifications between the ACMG/AMP 2015 guidelines and the point system that have harbored the original evidence codes. B. Unique variants with discordant calls between the 2 scoring methods that have at least 1 modified evidence code strength.

We just released a big OncoKB update: 13 new curated genes, updated SOP (v3) and FAQs, and we now also include detailed mutation effect descriptions on our website. oncokb.org/news

John - appreciate the rant. We are updating the ACMG guidelines (joint effort with ClinGen, AMP and CAP. Should be another session on the update at ACMG 2023. Even the 2015 guidelines not that it is the labs final assessment. A few more specific comments. 1/n

Very nice paper and a great tool to predict Alu-Alu mediated rearrangements (AAMR) and AAMR hotspot genes thanks to all of the work done by @song_xiaofei @christinerbeck
