Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM1PM4

The NM_000548.5(TSC2):​c.5238_5255dupCATCAAGCGGCTCCGCCA​(p.His1746_Arg1751dup) variant causes a disruptive inframe insertion change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000274 in 1,460,560 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type INS_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q1752Q) 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]

The c.5238_5255dup18 variant (also known as p.H1746_R1751dup), located in coding exon 40 of the TSC2 gene, results from an in-frame duplication of 18 nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5238 to 5255. This results in the duplication of 6 extra residues (HIKRLR) between codons 1746 and 1751. This alteration was detected in 1/66 unrelated patients of Mexican-descent that clinically fulfilled the criteria for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (Reyna-Fabi&aacute;n ME, et al. Sci Rep 2020 04;10(1):6589). This amino acid region is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

This variant, c.5238_5255dup, results in the insertion of 6 amino acid(s) of the TSC2 protein (p.His1746_Arg1751dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 32313033). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 962769). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -
