The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.4919A>G(p.His1640Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 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 Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. H1640P) has been classified 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]

The p.H1640R variant (also known as c.4919A>G), located in coding exon 37 of the TSC2 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 4919. The histidine at codon 1640 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was identified in at least one individual meeting diagnostic criteria for tuberous sclerosis (Ambry internal data). Internal structural analysis indicates that this variant disrupts a known functional residue in a related paralog (Ambry internal data; Daumke O et al. Nature, 2004 May;429:197-201). 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 majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
