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 11 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 3.8, offset of 1, new splice context is: ctttctcttgtccgggcaAGgcc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 16-2087862-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2087862-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 448734.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_pathogenic=2, Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=2}. Variant chr16-2087862-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr16-2087862-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Significance: Likely pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 448734). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSC2-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 38 of the TSC2 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 TSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10205261, 17304050). -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.4990-1G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 38 of the TSC2 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in a transcript predicted to lead to a protein with an in-frame deletion of two amino acids; however, the exact functional impact of the deleted amino acids is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
