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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 18, 2024This variant, c.5238_5255del, results in the deletion of 6 amino acid(s) of the TSC2 protein (p.His1746_Arg1751del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with tuberous sclerosis (PMID: 9829910, 10205261, 11112665, 15024740, 15874888, 16114042, 21520333). In at least one individual the variant was observed to be de novo. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12402). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of variants on protein structure and function are not available or were not evaluated for this variant. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects TSC2 function (PMID: 21309039). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionSep 01, 2022The variant is not observed in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset. Inframe deletion located in a nonrepeat region is predicted to change the length of the protein and disrupt normal protein function. Functional studies provide supporting evidence of the variant having a damaging effect on the gene or gene product (PMID: 21309039). The variant has been observed in multiple (>3) similarly affected unrelated individuals (PMID: 10205261, 11112665). The variant has been previously reported as assumed (i.e. paternity and maternity not confirmed) de novo in at least one similarly affected unrelated individual (PMID: 10205261). The variant has been reported at least twice as pathogenic with clinical assertions and evidence for the classification (ClinVar ID: VCV000012402 / PMID: 9829910/ 3billion dataset). Therefore, this variant is classified as Pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteFeb 02, 2022Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.4, this variant is classified as Pathogenic.

(I) 0107 - This gene is associated with autosomal dominant disease. (I) 0115 - Variants in this gene are known to have variable expressivity. Clinical symptoms can vary among affected individuals within the same family (PMID: 31018109). (I) 0213 - In-frame insertion/deletion in a non-repetitive region that has high conservation. (SP) 0251 - This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (both v2 and v3). (SP) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. It has been reported as pathogenic and de novo in multiple individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (ClinVar, PMID: 32313033). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingNeuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM-The inframe deletion variant c.5238_5255del (p.His1746_Arg1751del) in TSC2 gene has been reported previously in many individuals with tuberous sclerosis and found to be de novo in several sporadic cases (Rok et al. 2005). Experimental studies have shown that this variant decreases TSC2 expression and activity in vitro (Hoogeveen-Westerveld et al. 2011). The p.His1746_Arg1751del variant is novel (not in any individuals) in gnomAD Exomes and 1000 Genomes. This variant has been reported to the ClinVar database with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity as Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic. This p.His1746_Arg1751del causes deletion of amino acid Histidine at position 1746 and deletion of amino acid Arginine at position 1751. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAthena DiagnosticsAug 14, 2023This variant appears to occur de novo in multiple individuals with clinical features associated with this gene. This variant has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. The variant decreases TSC2 expression and activity in vitro (PMID 21309039). The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 08, 2018The c.5238_5255del18 pathogenic mutation (also known as p.H1746_R1751del) is located in coding exon 40 of the TSC2 gene. This pathogenic mutation results from an in-frame CATCAAGCGGCTCCGCCA deletion at nucleotide positions 5238 to 5255. This results in the in-frame deletion of six amino acids from codon 1746 to 1751. This deletion was originally reported in a sporadic case with tuberous sclerosis (Beauchamp RL et al. Hum. Mutat., 1998;12:408-16). Subsequently, this mutation (also reported as 5256del18bp and 1746delHIKRLR) has been identified in multiple patients with tuberous sclerosis (Jones AC et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 1999 May;64:1305-15; Dabora SL et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet., 2001 Jan;68:64-80; Au KS et al. Genet. Med., 2007 Feb;9:88-100). Furthermore, in vitro analysis showed that the mutant protein (reported as p.1746del6/1723del6) is unstable and increases T389-phosphorylated S6 kinase, thereby preventing the TSC-TSC2-dependent inhibition of the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) activity (Hoogeveen-Westerveld M et al. Hum. Mutat., 2011 Apr;32:424-35). Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
