Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Moderate
The NM_000368.5(TSC1):c.901_913+1delCAGAATAGCTATGG(p.Gln301fs) variant causes a frameshift, splice donor, splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Q301Q) 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 9-132912280-ACCATAGCTATTCTG-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr9-132912280-ACCATAGCTATTCTG-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 49121.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 2 (c.901_913+1del) of the TSC1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in TSC1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10227394, 17304050). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with Tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 10363127). This variant is also known as 1122–1134+­1del14. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 49121). 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. -
