Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PVS1_SupportingPM2
The NM_001406675.1(TSC2):c.2T>G(p.Met1?) variant causes a start lost change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,640 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★).
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]
Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.
PVS1
Start lost variant, no pathogenic variants between lost start and next in-frame start position. Next in-frame start position is after 11 codons. Genomic position: 2050439. Lost 0.006 part of the original CDS.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The p.M50R variant (also known as c.149T>G), located in coding exon 2 of the TSC2 gene, results from a T to G substitution at nucleotide position 149. The methionine at codon 50 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
