Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.2843G>T(p.Arg948Met) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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]

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). In summary, this variant is a novel missense change with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This sequence change replaces arginine with methionine at codon 948 of the TSC2 protein (p.Arg948Met). The arginine residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and methionine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a TSC2-related disease. -
