PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome    Pathogenic:2 
This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 13 of the PTEN protein (p.Lys13Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PMID: 23335809, 31130284). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 988004). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on PTEN protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PTEN function (PMID: 14711368, 25429968, 25875300). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

not provided    Pathogenic:1 
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: impaired phosphatase activity, increased phosphoAKT expression, and increased cellular proliferation (PMID: 29706350, 17942903, 25429968, 14711368, 29706633); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 23335809, 29706633, 14711368, 29706350, 18626510, 29785012, 31130284, 25875300, 17942903, 25429968, 24596386, 29608813) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Pathogenic:1 
The p.K13E variant (also known as c.37A>G), located in coding exon 1 of the PTEN gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 37. The lysine at codon 13 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was reported in individual(s) with features consistent with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (Bubien V et al. J Med Genet, 2013 Apr;50:255-63; Monies D et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2019 Jun;104:1182-1201; Ambry internal data). In a massively parallel functional assay using a humanized yeast model, lipid phosphatase activity for this variant was functionally deficient (Mighell TL et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2018 05;102:943-955). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
