Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. Variant got -13 ACMG points: 0P and 13B. BP4_StrongBP6BS1BS2
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.1839+6G>A variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00094 in 1,613,002 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars).

Variant summary: TSC2 c.1839+6G>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. 5/5 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 0.00044 in 276158 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0009 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 13 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in TSC2 causing Tuberous Sclerosis Complex phenotype (6.9e-05), while the overall frequency of the variant is approximately 6 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant; these data strongly suggest that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1839+6G>A in individuals affected with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variants have been reported (TSC2 c.2968_2971dupAGGA, p.Ile991Lysfs*16; TSC2 c.2590C>T, p.Gln864*) (LOVD (Tuberous sclerosis database)), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. Six ClinVar submissions from clinical diagnostic laboratories (evaluation after 2014) cite the variant as likely benign/benign (4x) and twice as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
- -
- -
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2
- -
This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

This variant was observed in the ICSL laboratory as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. It had not been previously curated by ICSL or reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD: prior to June 1st, 2018), and was therefore a candidate for classification through an automated scoring system. Utilizing variant allele frequency, disease prevalence and penetrance estimates, and inheritance mode, an automated score was calculated to assess if this variant is too frequent to cause the disease. Based on the score and internal cut-off values, a variant classified as likely benign is not then subjected to further curation. The score for this variant resulted in a classification of likely benign for this disease. -
