Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 8 ACMG points: 8P and 0B. PM2PP3_StrongPP5_Moderate
The NM_000368.5(TSC1):c.913G>C(p.Gly305Arg) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G305W) has been classified as Uncertain significance.
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]

Variant 9-132912282-C-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-132912282-C-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 2636244.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
The TSC1 c.913G>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly305Arg. This variant occurs at the last nucleotide of exon 9 and is predicted to alter splicing based on available splicing prediction programs (Alamut Visual v2.11). However, the use of computer prediction programs is not equivalent to functional evidence. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature or in a large population database (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), indicating this variant is rare. This variant has been confirmed de novo in an individual undergoing tuberous sclerosis panel testing (Internal Data, PreventionGenetics). This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic. -
