Genes affected

TSC2 (HGNC:12363): (TSC complex subunit 2) This gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the growth inhibitory protein tuberin. Tuberin interacts with hamartin to form the TSC protein complex which functions in the control of cell growth. This TSC protein complex negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling which is a major regulator of anabolic cell growth. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 1660 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-2048657-G-GT is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2048657-G-GT is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 217252.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 27, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 217252). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 16835931). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Lys16*) in the TSC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10205261, 17304050). -
