Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points: 12P and 0B. PVS1_ModeratePM2PP5_Very_Strong
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.848+1G>A variant causes a splice donor, intron change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★).
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]

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.013643068 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.3, offset of 9, new splice context is: gtgGTgggt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 16-2057179-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2057179-G-A is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 49922.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
c.848+1 G>A: IVS9+1 G>A in intron 9 of the TSC2 gene (NM_000548.3) The c.848+1 G>A splice site mutation in the TSC2 gene has been reported previously in association with tuberous sclerosis complex (Au et al., 2007; TSC2 LOVD). This mutation destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 9 and is expected to cause abnormal gene splicing. The variant is found in TUBSC-EPIV2 panel(s). -
