Our verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Moderate
The NM_000368.5(TSC1):c.1388dupT(p.Leu463PhefsTer3) variant causes a frameshift change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000684 in 1,461,848 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
TSC1 (HGNC:12362): (TSC complex subunit 1) This gene is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes the growth inhibitory protein hamartin. The encoded protein interacts with and stabilizes the GTPase activating protein tuberin. This hamartin-tuberin complex negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling which is a major regulator of anabolic cell growth. This protein also functions as a co-chaperone for Hsp90 that inhibits its ATPase activity. This protein functions as a facilitator of Hsp90-mediated folding of kinase and non-kinase clients, including TSC2 and thereby preventing their ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tuberous sclerosis and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]

While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, loss-of-function variants in TSC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10227394, 17304050). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu463Phefs*3) in the TSC1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
