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]

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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The TSC2 c.3379C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1127Trp. This variant was reported in an individual with tuberous sclerosis complex with seizures (Hu et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24770934). This variant is reported in 0.054% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-2129652-C-T). It has conflicting interpretations of benign, likely benign, and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/406072/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Variant summary: TSC2 c.3379C>T (p.Arg1127Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 5.9e-05 in 252712 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00054 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 7.85 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TSC2 causing Tuberous Sclerosis Complex phenotype (6.9e-05). c.3379C>T has been observed in individuals affected with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (e.g. Hu_2014, Shin_2024). These reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 24770934, 39110368). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 406072). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
