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]

TSC2 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 2.9, offset of -40, new splice context is: catggcggaccctgggacAGggc. Cryptic site results in frameshift 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 16-2058746-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2058746-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 49388.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-2058746-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr16-2058746-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr16-2058746-G-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Tuberous sclerosis 2 Pathogenic:2

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Nov 07, 2021	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 28, 2022	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 49388). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 10735580; Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 9 of the TSC2 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in TSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10205261, 17304050). -

The c.849-1 G>A splice site variant in the TSC2 gene has been reported previously in association withtuberous sclerosis (Choy et al., 1999). Thisvariant destroys the canonical splice acceptor site in intron 9,and is expected to cause abnormal gene splicing. Therefore, we interpret this variant to be pathogenic. -

The c.849-1G>A intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to A substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 9 of the TSC2 gene. This alteration has been identified in patients reportedly meeting diagnostic criteria for tuberous sclerosis; however, clinical details were limited (Choy YS et al. Ann. Hum. Genet. 1999 Sep;63(Pt 5):383-91; Dabora SL et al. Am. J. Hum. Genet. 2001 Jan;68:64-80; Ambry internal data). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
