Take home points: 

  1. The MUTYH subcommittee of the ClinGen-InSiGHT Hereditary Colon Cancer/Polyposis Variant Curation Expert Panel has developed gene-specific recommendations for ACMG variant classification, which will soon be released.
  2. Most importantly, discrepancies between transcript usage, phenotypic descriptions of affected individuals, and functional studies were addressed and resolved.
