The Oncogenicity Prediction feature estimates oncogenic potential of variants based on Standards for the classification of somatic variants in cancer (Horak et al., Genet Med. 2022). The standards include 17 criteria and allow to classify variants into 5 categories: Oncogenic, Likely Oncogenic, Variant of Unknown Significance (VUS), Likely Benign, and Benign. Connected Insights scores variants (only PASS small variants are currently supported) for 16 criteria (with exception of OP2) based on the implementation details provided below.
❗ Use predictions as a starting point for interpretation. Exercise judgement to determine if a greater or fewer number of criteria apply.
Estimated variant oncogenicity can be found:
In the column “Oncogenicity Prediction” in the Variants tab available for sorting
In the section “Oncogenicity Prediction” in the Biomarker page available for manual review and further interpretation
To view the evidence behind the estimated oncogenicity category and complete variant classification, follow the steps below:
Navigate to the "Oncogenicity Prediction" section in the Biomarker page
Review estimated oncogenicity category, score, and met criteria (displayed with filled checkboxes, see OS2, OM1, OM2, OP3, and OP4 on the figure below)
Review evidence for each criterion by clicking on it and displaying an evidence map. You can move objects on the map to facilitate review.
Select Report to edit and complete variant classification following Interpret a Variant. Information about met oncogenicity criteria is used to pre-populate variant summary.
OVS1: “Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multi-exon deletion) in a bona fide tumor suppressor gene.”
For this criterion, we are checking the fulfillment of the following conditions:
Variant is a “null variant”. We assess null variants as variants with consequences stop_gained, start_lost, frameshift_variant, splice_acceptor_variant, or splice_donor_variant as well as variants with a high splicing prediction (SpliceAI score > 0.8) regardless of their consequences
Variant is not in the last intron or exon
Variant is in a tumor suppressor gene, according to Cancer Genome Census, JAX-CKB, OncoKB or MyKB
OS1: “Same amino acid change as a previously established oncogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change. Example: Val→Leu caused by either G>C or G>T in the same codon.”
For this criterion, we are checking the fulfillment of the following conditions:
Variant's consequences are not splice_donor_variant or splice_acceptor_variant
Variant’s splicing prediction is not high (SpliceAI score <= 0.8)
There is a previously established pathogenic / oncogenic or likely pathogenic / oncogenic variant with the same amino acid change but different nucleotide change in ClinVar (2-4 stars) or MyKB
OS2: “Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of an oncogenic effect of the variant.”
For this criterion, we are checking the fulfillment of the following conditions:
A variant with the same amino acid change is a gain-, loss-, or switch-of-function variant in MyKB, OncoKB, or JAX-CKB, is interpreted as pathogenic / oncogenic or likely pathogenic / oncogenic in MyKB, OncoKB, JAX-CKB, or ClinVar (2-4 stars), and OS1 is not applicable OR
A variant with the same nucleotide change is a gain-, loss-, or switch-of-function variant in MyKB, OncoKB, or JAX-CKB, is interpreted as pathogenic / oncogenic or likely pathogenic / oncogenic in ClinVar (2-4 stars), and OS1 is applicable
In this implementation, “Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies” is inferred based on knowledge bases having records of gain-, loss-, or switch-of-function, usually established based on functional studies. “... supportive of an oncogenic effect of the variant” is established based on the evidence of oncogenicity in knowledge sources.

For this criterion, we are checking the fulfillment of the following conditions:
The variant is located in a region of a protein domain where pathogenic variants occur. The regions in each gene are defined by taking all protein domains from UniProt, mapping all pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in ClinVar to each domain and defining the regions by using the positions of the first and last pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants from ClinVar and adding 2 bp padding on each side.
OS1 and OS3 are not applicable
OM2: “Protein length changes as a result of in-frame deletions / insertions in a known oncogene, or tumor suppressor gene or stop-loss variants in a known tumor suppressor gene.”
For this criterion, we are checking the fulfillment of the following conditions:
Variant’s consequence is inframe_deletion or inframe_insertion and it is located in an oncogene or a tumor suppressor gene (based on Cancer Genome Census, JAX-CKB, OncoKB or MyKB) or variant’s consequence is stop-lost and it is located in a tumor suppressor gene per the same sources

This section presents a visualization of the variant in the genome with supporting annotations and surrounding variants.
Reference — Reference genome base pair proportions when zoomed out. Base pair letters and amino acids for a given reading frame when zoomed in.
Genes — RefSeq gene track. Blue indicates the - strand and red indicates the + strand. Click a gene to show the reading frame of the selected transcript for the variant (amino acid and position).
Protein Domains — Displays protein domains from UniProt. Blue indicates the - strand and red indicates the + strand.
Small variants — Small variants shown with the reference allele on top and the two alt alleles below.
Structural variants — Structural variants with VCF filter PASS by chromosomal position. The legend to the right of the genome view identifies the events (translocation, inversion, deletion, insertion, and tandem duplication). Translocations begin at the karyogram at the top of the track and connect to chromosomes identified at the bottom of the track.
Coverage and copy number variants — The depth of coverage by chromosomal position. Data points are color-coded by presence of copy number variant calls. The legend identifies the events (gain, gain LOH, neutral LOH, loss, and no call). Hovering over a region will highlight the copy number variant call and clicking provides variant details.
B-allele ratio — The minor allele frequency by chromosomal position.
Track availability depends on the VCFs provided by the secondary analysis pipeline.
For example,
If there's no structural variant VCF provided, then the structural variant track will not be available.
If there's no absolute copy number provided in the VCF, then the copy number variant track will not be available.

Tool | Description |
REVEL | The Rare Exome Variant Ensemble Learner (REVEL) is an ensemble method for predicting the pathogenicity of rare missense variants. Scores range from 0 to 1 and variants with highers cores are predicted to be more likely to be pathogenic. |
SIFT | The Sort Intolerant From Tolerant (SIFT) score predicts whether an amino acid substitution is likely to affect protein function based on sequence homology and the physicochemical similarity between the alternate amino acids. The qualitative prediction for substitutions with a score less than 0.05 are predicted to be deleterious. All other variants are considered tolerated. |
PolyPhen-2 | Polymorphism Phenotyping-2, or PolyPhen-2, predicts the effect of an amino acid substitution on the structure and function of a protein using the following components: • Sequence homology • Pfam annotations • 3D structures from PDB (where available) • Other databases and tools (for example, DSSP and ncoils) The PolyPhen-2 score represents the probability that a substitution is damaging, so values near1 are predicted to be deleterious, which is the opposite of the SIFT score. |
PrimateAI | PrimateAI is a deep residual neural network for classifying the pathogenicity of missense mutations. For more information, refer to . |
PrimateAI-3D | PrimateAI-3D is a three-dimensional (3D) convolutional neural network for classifying the pathogenicity of missense mutations. For more information, refer to . |
Nirvana Cross-SpeciesAA Conservation | Nirvana Cross-Species AA Conservation uses amino acid conservation scores that are obtained from multiple alignments of vertebrate exomes to the human ones. The score indicates the frequency with which a particular AA is observed in humans. |
PhyloP | PhyloP scores measure evolutionary conservation at individual alignment sites. For more information, refer to . |
SpliceAI | SpliceAI is the delta score of a variant that can also be interpreted as the probability of the variant being splice-altering. For more information, refer to . |
