Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Moderate
The NM_000368.5(TSC1):c.24_42delGGAGCTTCTTGCCATGCTGinsCAA(p.Glu9LysfsTer12) variant causes a frameshift, missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 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 Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. G8G) has been classified as Likely benign.
TSC1 (HGNC:12362): (TSC complex subunit 1) This gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the growth inhibitory protein hamartin. The encoded protein interacts with and stabilizes the GTPase activating protein tuberin. This hamartin-tuberin complex negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling which is a major regulator of anabolic cell growth. This protein also functions as a co-chaperone for Hsp90 that inhibits its ATPase activity. This protein functions as a facilitator of Hsp90-mediated folding of kinase and non-kinase clients, including TSC2 and thereby preventing their ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

Variant 9-132928831-CAGCATGGCAAGAAGCTCC-TTG is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-132928831-CAGCATGGCAAGAAGCTCC-TTG is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 466078.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
Loss-of-function variants in TSC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10227394, 17304050). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a TSC1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu9Lysfs*12) in the TSC1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
