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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.

Athena Diagnostics

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is expected to result in the loss of a functional protein. This variant has been identified in at least one individual with clinical features associated with this gene. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations. (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org) In some published literature, this variant is referred to as c.2070delC (p.F690fsX7). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

c.2071delC: p.Arg691AlafsX7 in exon 19 in the TSC2 gene (NM_000548.3). The normal sequence with the base(s) that are deleted in braces is: CTTC{C}GCGT. The c.2071delC pathogenic variant in the TSC2 gene has been reported previously in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (Au et al., 1998; Ali et al., 2005; TSC2 LOVD). The deletion causes a frameshift starting with codon Arginine 691, changes this amino acid to an Alanine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 7 of the new reading frame, denoted p.Arg691AlafsX7. This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Furthermore, the c.2071delCvariant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Therefore, the presence of c.2071delC is consistent with the diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis complex in this individual. -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 49715). This variant is also known as del1bp, 690PheFSr697X. This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 9463313, 28968464). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg691Alafs*7) in the TSC2 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in TSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10205261, 17304050). -

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The TSC2 c.2071delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Arg691Alafs*7). This variant was reported in individuals with Tuberous sclerosis (reported as del1bp (C2070/2071) in Au et al 1998. PubMed ID: 9463313; Rosset C et al 2017. PubMed ID: 28968464). This variant has not been reported in a large population database, indicating this variant is rare. Frameshift variants in TSC2 are expected to be pathogenic. This variant is interpreted as pathogenic. -
