Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PM1_SupportingPS4PS2_ModeratePS3_SupportingPP2PM2_Supporting
This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.5930C>A (NM_004958.4) variant in MTOR is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.Thr1977Lys). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). MTOR, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant resides within the kinase domain of MTOR that is defined as a critical functional domain by the ClinGen BMEP (PMIDs: 23322780, 27482884, 21210909) (PM1_Supporting). This variant has been shown to significantly increase phosphorylation levels in experiments with case and control cells of similar isogenic backgrounds indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID:24631838) (PS3_Supporting). The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4; PMIDs w/ phenotypes). Testing of unaffected and affected tissue show variable allelic fractions consistent with a post-zygotic event (PS2_Moderate; PMID:25799227). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for mosaic autosomal dominant overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel: PM2_P, PP2, PM1_P, PS3_P, PS4, PS2_M; 10 points (VCEP specifications version 1; Approved: 1/31/2021) LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA248390/MONDO:0016054/018

Overgrowth syndrome and/or cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR pathway genes Pathogenic:1
The c.5930C>A (NM_004958.4) variant in MTOR is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.Thr1977Lys). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting).

Isolated focal cortical dysplasia type II Pathogenic:1
An MTOR c.5930C>A (p.Thr1977Lys) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been identified in numerous individuals with focal cortical dysplasia (Baldassari S et al., PMID: 31444548; Lim JS et al., PMID: 25799227; D'Gama AM et al., PMID: 29281825; Lim JS et al., PMID: 25799227). It has also been reported as a somatic variant in various types of malignancies in the cancer database COSMIC (Genomic mutation ID: COSV63869673). The MTOR c.5930C>A (p.Thr1977Lys) variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a germline pathogenic variant by two submitters, including an expert panel (ClinVar ID: 156702). It is absent from the general population database (gnomAD v4.1.0), indicating it is not a common variant. This variant resides within the FAT domain of MTOR that is defined as a critical functional domain (Xu J et al., PMID: 27482884; Mirzaa GM et al., PMID: 27159400; Murugan AK et al., PMID: 23322780; Hardt M et al., PMID: 21210909). Other variants in the same codon, (p.Thr1977Ile and p.Thr1977Arg), have been reported in individuals with brain malformations and are considered pathogenic (Handoko, M et al. PMID: 30569621; Mirzaa GM et al., PMID: 27159400; Cao Y et al. PMID: 31349857; D'Gama AM et al., PMID: 29281825; ClinVar ID's: 1296989 and 584432). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to MTOR function. In support of this prediction, functional studies led to increased S6K1 phosphorylation, evidence that correlates with an impact on MTOR function (Grabiner BC et al., PMID: 24631838). The MTOR gene is defined by the ClinGen's Brain Malformations expert panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (Lai A et al., PMID: 35997716). Based on available information and an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation and gene-specific practices from the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry (Leon-Quintero FZ et al., PMID: 39434542), the MTOR c.5930C>A (p.Thr1977Lys) variant is classified as pathogenic. -
