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 Benign. Variant got -9 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.54).
• BP6: Variant 16-2056250-T-C is Benign according to our data. Variant chr16-2056250-T-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 452900.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=2, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAd4 at 8 AD gene.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the TSC2 gene. The c.648+6 T>C varianthas not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to ourknowledge. The c.648+6 T>C variant is observed in 4/24,028 (0.02%) alleles from individuals ofAfrican background (Lek et al., 2016). This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved acrossspecies. Several in-silico splice prediction models predict that c.648+6 T>C may damage the natural splice donor site in intron 7 and lead to abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence ofRNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown.Therefore, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
