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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 30 of the TSC2 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TSC2 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs200194551, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 657785). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. 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.

The c.3611-5C>A intronic variant results from a C to A substitution 5 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 30 in the TSC2 gene. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. RNA studies have demonstrated that this alteration results in a splice defect; the clinical impact of this abnormal splicing is unknown at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
