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 Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.018252213 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.2, offset of 0 (no position change), new splice context is: gcgGTaggg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-2088323-CG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2088323-CG-C is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 49417.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-2088323-CG-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr16-2088323-CG-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 41 of the TSC2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. 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. Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in TSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10205261, 17304050). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has been reported in an individual affected with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 17304050). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 49417). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). -
