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 Benign. Variant got -20 ACMG points.

Variant summary: c.482-3C>T in TSC2 gene is an intronic change that involves a non-conserved nucleotide. 5/5 programs in Alamut predict that this variant does not affect a normal splicing pattern, however no functional studies supporting this notion were published at the time of evaluation. The variant is present in the control population dataset of ExAC at frequency of 0.087 (10574/121392 chrs tested), predominantly in individuals of African descent (0.2; 2098/10406 chrs tested) including numerous homozygous occurrences. The observed frequencies exceed the maximum expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant of 0.00006 suggesting that it is a benign polymorphism. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals in published reports but cited as Benign/ Likely Benign by multiple reputable databases/clinical laboratory. Taking together, based on the prevalence of this variant in general population the variant was classified as Benign. -

Significance: Benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of benign for this disease. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
