Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 4P and 2B. PM2PM5BP4_Moderate
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.856A>T(p.Met286Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000699 in 1,430,708 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. M286T) has been classified as 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]

The p.M286L variant (also known as c.856A>T), located in coding exon 9 of the TSC2 gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 856. The methionine at codon 286 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
