Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2 PP3

The NM_000548.5(TSC2):​c.2273C>T​(p.Ser758Phe) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S758C) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

Tuberous sclerosis 2 Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 758 of the TSC2 protein (p.Ser758Phe). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 17304050). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 49710). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TSC2 protein function. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.S758F variant (also known as c.2273C>T), located in coding exon 20 of the TSC2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2273. The serine at codon 758 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was reported in 1/325 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex; this patient did not have a known family history of tuberous sclerosis (Au KS et al. Genet. Med. 2007 Feb;9:88-100). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
