Appendix 7. Predicted Class for Variants (Opal Pipeline 4.3.2 and below) – Fabric Genomics

Samples annotated with Opal Pipeline 4.3.2 and below include the Predicted Class field in the variant annotations.

The Predicted Class is computed using rules based on the 2008 American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines (Richards et al., 2008).

Note: In cases where ClinVar contains multiple submissions with conflicting classifications, the ClinVar classification is not used in Predicted Class assignment.

Category	Rule for Predicted Class
Category 1 - Pathogenic	Variants classified in ClinVar as pathogenic, and a MAF < 5%
Category 2 - Likely Pathogenic	Severe variants in a known disease gene (as defined in OMIM) Stop-gained Stop-lost Frame-shift deletion/insertion/substitution Splice-site [AG/GT]
Category 3A – Uncertain Significance*	Any protein changing variant in a known disease gene (as defined in OMIM)
Category 3B - Uncertain Significance	Any protein changing variants that are not Category 1, 2, or 3A
Category 4 - Likely Benign	Variants with MAF > 5% Synonymous coding variants 5’ and 3’ UTR variants Variants in non-coding genes Intronic variants excluding splice consensus Intergenic variants (excluding upstream and downstream)
Category 5 - Benign	Variants classified in ClinVar as Benign, if they are not severe variants as defined in Category 2 (Opal 4.0 Variant Reports) Not used in Opal 3.0 Variant Reports
Category 6 - Disease Associated	Variants classified in ClinVar as Disease Associated (Opal 4.0 Variant Reports) Not used in Opal 3.0 Variant Reports
