Genes affected
PTEN (HGNC:9588): (phosphatase and tensin homolog) This gene was identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers at high frequency. The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase. It contains a tensin like domain as well as a catalytic domain similar to that of the dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases. Unlike most of the protein tyrosine phosphatases, this protein preferentially dephosphorylates phosphoinositide substrates. It negatively regulates intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate in cells and functions as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating AKT/PKB signaling pathway. The use of a non-canonical (CUG) upstream initiation site produces a longer isoform that initiates translation with a leucine, and is thought to be preferentially associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane. This longer isoform may help regulate energy metabolism in the mitochondria. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 9. Alternative splicing and the use of multiple translation start codons results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

Published functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect: absent or reduced phosphatase activity (Han et al., 2000; Rodriguez-Escudero et al., 2011; Mighell et al., 2018); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21828076, 25527629, 23335809, 30720243, 29625052, 24721394, 20533527, 23161105, 28526761, 17526800, 21659347, 26800850, 28201779, 28304377, 28984400, 16506206, 11875759, 20718038, 18986487, 29706350, 19265751, 24475377, 33482836, 36192478, 10866302) -

PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome Pathogenic:4

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 173 of the PTEN protein (p.Arg173His). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913294, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PMID: 17526800, 19265751, 20533527, 23335809; internal datadatabase). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376032). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PTEN protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PTEN function (PMID: 10866302). This variant disrupts the p.Arg173 amino acid residue in PTEN. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10866302, 17526800, 25669429, 28475857). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.Arg173His variant has been reported in 4 individuals with clinical feature s of Cowden syndrome (Lachlan 2007, Mcbride 2010, Bubien 2013) and segregated wi th disease in 2 affected relatives from 2 different families (Lachlan 2007, Varg a 2004). In addition, it segregated with macrocephaly in 1 relative from a third family (McBride 2010). This variant has been identified in 1/10324 African chro mosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.or g; dbSNP rs121913294). This variant has been observed as a somatic mutation in t umors, including glioblastoma (Duerr 1998) and colorectal cancer (Day 2013). The p.Arg173His variant is associated with decreased protein activity in vitro (Han 2000, Rodriguez-Escudero 2011). However, these types of assays may not accurate ly represent biological function. In summary, although additional studies are re quired to fully establish its clinical significance, the p.Arg173His variant is likely pathogenic in an autosomal dominant manner. -

This variant has been previously reported as a heterozygous change in patients with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PMID: 17526800, 19265751, 23335809, 20533527, 28526761). In vitro assays showed that this variant is associated with decreased phosphatase activity (PMID: 21828076, 10866302). It is present in the heterozygous state in the gnomAD population database at a frequency of 0.001 % (2/251148) and thus is presumed to be rare. The c.518G>A (p.Arg173His) variant affects a highly conserved amino acid and is predicted by multiple in silico tools to have a deleterious effect on protein function. Based on the available evidence, the c.518G>A (p.Arg173His) variant is classified as Pathogenic. -

The missense variant p.R173H in PTEN (NM_000314.8) has been reported before both in a patient with developmental delay (Varga EA et al) as well as in patients with PTEN related hamartoma syndrome (Bubien et al; Hansen et al).Functional studies revealed reduced phosphatse activity (Rodriguez-Escudero et al). The variant has been submitted to ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic. The p.R173H missense variant is predicted to be damaging by both SIFT and PolyPhen2. The arginine residue at codon 173 of PTEN is conserved in all mammalian species. The nucleotide c.518 in PTEN is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

This variant is considered likely pathogenic. Functional studies indicate this variant impacts protein function [PMID: 10866302]. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 17526800, 18626099, 19265751, 20533527, 23335809]. -

The p.R173H variant (also known as c.518G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the PTEN gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 518. The arginine at codon 173 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of PTEN-hamartoma tumor syndrome, with at least one reported de novo occurrence (Hansen-Kiss E et al. J. Med. Genet., 2017 07;54:471-478; Lachlan KL et al. J. Med. Genet., 2007 Sep;44:579-85; Varga EA et al. Genet. Med., 2009 Feb;11:111-7; McBride KL et al. Autism Res, 2010 Jun;3:137-41; Bubien V et al. J. Med. Genet., 2013 Apr;50:255-63; van der Velden JJ. et al. Int. J. Dermatol. 2008 Nov;47 Suppl 1:45-8; Comeau D et al. Eur J Med Genet, 2023 Aug;66:104798). In one study, functional assays demonstrated that this alteration inactivates phosphastase activity (Han SY et al. Cancer Res., 2000 Jun;60:3147-51); however, in vivo yeast assays demonstrated partial phosphastase activity in another study (Rodríguez-Escudero I et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2011 Nov;20:4132-42). Another study determined that p.R173H has an intermediate effect on regulating p53 and Gata3 levels compared to wild-type and nonsense alleles (Xu J et al. Transl Oncol, 2014 Apr;7:196-205.e1). This missense alteration is located in a region that has a low rate of benign missense variation (Lek M et al. Nature. 2016 Aug 18;536(7616):285-91; DECIPHER: Database of Chromosomal Imbalance and Phenotype in Humans using Ensembl Resources. Firth H.V. et al. 2009. Am.J.Hum.Genet. 84, 524-533 (DOI: dx.doi.org/10/1016/j.ajhg.2009.03.010)). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
