Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.1947-2A>G variant causes a splice acceptor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★).
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]

Variant 16-2071782-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2071782-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 50190.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
The c.1947-2A>G intronic pathogenic mutation results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 18 in the TSC2 gene. This variant (also known as IVS17-2A>G in the literature) has been reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with tuberous sclerosis complex (Mayer K et al. Hum Mutat, 1999;14:401-11; Peron A et al. Eur J Med Genet, 2018 Jul;61:403-410; Ambry internal data). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in abnormal splicing in the set of samples tested (Ambry internal data; Mayer K et al. Hum Mutat, 1999;14:401-11). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
