Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points: 2P and 4B. PM5 BS2

The NM_000548.5(TSC2):​c.176G>A​(p.Arg59Gln) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000616 in 1,461,680 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R59W) has been classified as Pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM5: Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr16-2050436-C-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 9 AD gene.

Tuberous sclerosis 2 Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Nov 07, 2021	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Aug 23, 2023	ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 486661). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt TSC2 protein function. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSC2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 59 of the TSC2 protein (p.Arg59Gln). -

The p.R59Q variant (also known as c.176G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the TSC2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 176. The arginine at codon 59 is replaced by glutamine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
