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]

The p.R57C variant (also known as c.169C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the TSC2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 169. The arginine at codon 57 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was detected in 1/15 Chinese neonates with unexplained seizures and was identified in 1 of 374 patients with clinically suspected TSC undergoing genetic testing within the TSC1 and TSC2 genes (Ma X et al. Genes Dis. 2019 Dec;6:441-447;Meng Y et al. J Hum Genet, 2021 Mar;66:227-236). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
