Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 6P and 1B. PM2PP3_StrongBP6
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.1946+5G>T variant causes a splice donor 5th base, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000263 in 152,242 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).
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 5 ACMG points.
PM2
?
PM2 - Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive) in Exome Sequencing Project, 1000 Genomes Project, or Exome Aggregation Consortium
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP3
?
PP3 - Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (conservation, evolutionary, splicing impact, etc.)
Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF. Scorers claiming Uncertain: max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Benign.
BP6
?
BP6 - Reputable source recently reports variant as benign, but the evidence is not available to the laboratory to perform an independent evaluation
Variant 16-2071621-G-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-2071621-G-T is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 406022.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=2, Uncertain_significance=2}.

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
