Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 18 ACMG points: 18P and 0B. PVS1PM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000368.5(TSC1):c.772G>T(p.Glu258*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. E258E) has been classified as Likely benign. 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]

Variant 9-132912423-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-132912423-C-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 49106.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
The E258X nonsense variant in the TSC1 gene has been reported multiple times previously in association with TSC (van Slegtenhorst et al., 1997; Young et al., 1998, TSC1 LOVD). This pathogenic variant is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The E258X variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016). Therefore, the presence of E258X is consistent with the diagnosis of TSC in this individual. -
