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 Pathogenic. Variant got 16 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, NOT destroyed by nmd, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.018067846 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.6, offset of 12, new splice context is: gtccccaaatggcctcacAGgtg. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in inframe change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 16-2088226-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2088226-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 49943.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr16-2088226-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr16-2088226-G-A is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Tuberous sclerosis 2 Pathogenic:2

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Jan 22, 2024	This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 40 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). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex (PMID: 11112665). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 49943). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

TSC2 NM_000548.4 exon 41 c.5161-1G>A: This variant has been reported in the literature in at least two individuals with a clinical diagnosis of Tuberous Sclerosis (Dabora 2001 PMID:11112665). This variant is not present in large control databases but is present in ClinVar (Variation ID:49943). Evolutionary conservation and computational predictive tools for this variant are limited or unavailable. Of note, this variant alters the consensus splice sequence (+/- 1,2) which is predicted to result in an absent or abnormal protein. Loss of function variants are a known mechanism of disease for this gene (Rosset 2017 PMID:28222202). In summary, this variant is classified as pathogenic based on the data above. -
