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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain Rap-GAP (size 227) in uniprot entity TSC2_HUMAN there are 284 pathogenic changes around while only 47 benign (86%) in NM_000548.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_000548.5. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.

This sequence change inserts 3 nucleotides in exon 41 of the TSC2 mRNA (c.5240_5242dupTCA). This leads to the insertion of 1 amino acid residue in the TSC2 protein (p.Ile1747dup) but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a TSC2-related disease. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the duplicated amino acid is currently unknown. In summary, this is a novel in-frame duplication with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
