Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM2BP4_ModerateBP6BP7
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.1417C>T(p.Leu473Leu) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L473L) has been classified as Likely benign.
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]

PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.34).
BP6
Variant 16-2063027-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-2063027-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 1103056.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=2.95 with no splicing effect.
The c.1417C>T variant (also known as p.L473L), located in coding exon 13 of the TSC2 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1417. This nucleotide substitution does not change the amino acid at codon 473. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
