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]

Variant summary: TSC2 c.5068+9G>A alters a non-conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. 4/4 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00016 in 276130 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 2.26 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TSC2 causing Tuberous Sclerosis Complex phenotype (6.9e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.5068+9G>A in individuals affected with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Three clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

This variant is considered likely benign. This variant is intronic and is not expected to impact mRNA splicing. This variant has been observed at a population frequency that is significantly greater than expected given the associated disease prevalence and penetrance. -
