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]

The TSC2 c.5266G>A p.(Glu1756Lys) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.009% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a deleterious effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in individuals with clinical features associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 29740858, 29778030). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

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. -

This missense variant replaces glutamic acid with lysine at codon 1756 of the TSC2 protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may have deleterious impact on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold >= 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in two patients with a suspected diagnosis of tuberous sclerosis (PMID: 29778030, 29740858). This variant has been identified in 6/250172 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The TSC2 c.5266G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Glu1756Lys. This variant has been reported in individuals with clinical features consistent with tuberous sclerosis and in individuals with premature ovarian insufficiency (Zheng et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29740858; Hesse et al. 2018. PubMed ID: 29778030; Xu et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36229297). In vitro experimental studies showed conflicted functional evidence regarding its effect on protein function (Xu et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 36229297). This variant is reported in 0.0087% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD (v2), including 14 heterozygotes in the most recent release of gnomAD (v4, https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/16-2088452-G-A?dataset=gnomad_r4). 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. -
