Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points: 5P and 0B. PM2PM4PP3
The NM_000368.5(TSC1):c.1727_1748delTGGAGACCAGTATCTTCACTCCinsG(p.Leu576_Pro583delinsCys) variant causes a missense, disruptive inframe deletion 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 not provided (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Pathogenic in Lovd. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. L576L) has been classified as Benign.
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]
