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]

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant is associated with altered splicing resulting in unknown protein product impact (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 535991). 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 falls in intron 41 of the TSC2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TSC2 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
