Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PP3

The ENST00000439117.6(TSC2):​n.*4427-9_*4446delTGCCTTCAGATCTGCGAGGAAGCCGCCTA variant causes a splice region, non coding transcript exon change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000205 in 1,460,480 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 DEL_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 (★★).

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]

PKD1 (HGNC:9008): (polycystin 1, transient receptor potential channel interacting) This gene encodes a member of the polycystin protein family. The encoded glycoprotein contains a large N-terminal extracellular region, multiple transmembrane domains and a cytoplasmic C-tail. It is an integral membrane protein that functions as a regulator of calcium permeable cation channels and intracellular calcium homoeostasis. It is also involved in cell-cell/matrix interactions and may modulate G-protein-coupled signal-transduction pathways. It plays a role in renal tubular development, and mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease type 1 (ADPKD1). ADPKD1 is characterized by the growth of fluid-filled cysts that replace normal renal tissue and result in end-stage renal failure. Splice variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. Also, six pseudogenes, closely linked in a known duplicated region on chromosome 16p, have been described.

Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in skipping of the last exon (exon 42) and introduces a new termination codon (Invitae). However the mRNA is not expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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. This variant results in the deletion of an acceptor splice site in intron 41 and the first 20 nucleotides of exon 42 (c.5260-9_5279del) of the TSC2 gene. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely disrupts the C-terminus of the protein. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406091). -

The c.5260-9_5279del29 variant results from a deletion of 29 nucleotides between positions 5260-9 and 5279 and involves the canonical splice acceptor site before coding exon 41 of the TSC2 gene. The canonical splice acceptor site is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing. However, this alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of the TSC2 gene and is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The exact functional effect of this alteration is unknown. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
