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]

DNA sequence analysis of the TSC2 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.213G>T, in exon 3 that results in an amino acid change, p.Lys71Asn. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with TSC2-related disorders. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.001594% (dbSNP rs766200310). The p.Lys71Asn change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the TSC2 protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Lys71Asn substitution. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Lys71Asn change remains unknown at this time.

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.
