The ENST00000493467.6(TSC1):n.10_14delAGGTG variant causes a non coding transcript exon change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★).
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 9-132912454-CCACCT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-132912454-CCACCT-C is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 466153.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in TSC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10227394, 17304050). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of tuberous sclerosis complex (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 9 (c.738-2_740del) of the TSC1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
