Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 1 ACMG points: 2P and 1B. PM2BP4
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.1607C>T(p.Ala536Val) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/20 in silico tools predict 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]

The p.A536V variant (also known as c.1607C>T), located in coding exon 15 of the TSC2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1607. The alanine at codon 536 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in 0 of 42 cases and 1 of 100 controls in one tuberous sclerosis study (Gilbert JR et al. Neurogenetics, 1998 Aug;1:267-72). It was later identified in an individual with tuberous sclerosis but described as benign (Au KS et al. Genet. Med., 2007 Feb;9:88-100). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
