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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2154C>G variant (also known as p.R718R), located in coding exon 19 of the TSC2 gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 2154. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 718. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
