Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PM2
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.4448G>A(p.Arg1483Lys) variant causes a missense change. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R1483T) has been classified as Benign.
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]
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing
The p.R1483K variant (also known as c.4448G>A), located in coding exon 33 of the TSC2 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 4448. The arginine at codon 1483 is replaced by lysine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
