Genes affected
PTEN (HGNC:9588): (phosphatase and tensin homolog) This gene was identified as a tumor suppressor that is mutated in a large number of cancers at high frequency. The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase. It contains a tensin like domain as well as a catalytic domain similar to that of the dual specificity protein tyrosine phosphatases. Unlike most of the protein tyrosine phosphatases, this protein preferentially dephosphorylates phosphoinositide substrates. It negatively regulates intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate in cells and functions as a tumor suppressor by negatively regulating AKT/PKB signaling pathway. The use of a non-canonical (CUG) upstream initiation site produces a longer isoform that initiates translation with a leucine, and is thought to be preferentially associated with the mitochondrial inner membrane. This longer isoform may help regulate energy metabolism in the mitochondria. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 9. Alternative splicing and the use of multiple translation start codons results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2015]

PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome Uncertain:2
Jun 27, 2023
All of Us Research Program, National Institutes of Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces asparagine with serine at codon 117 of the PTEN protein. To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has not been reported in individuals affected with hereditary cancer in the literature. This variant has been identified in 2/251270 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 117 of the PTEN protein (p.Asn117Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs551221430, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 216421). Invitae Evidence Modeling incorporating data from in vitro experimental studies (internal data) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt PTEN function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect PTEN function (PMID: 32350270). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Color Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color Health
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This missense variant replaces asparagine with serine at codon 117 of the PTEN protein. Computational prediction suggests that this variant may not impact protein structure and function. Experimental studies have shown that this variant did not impact lipid phosphatase activity, protein abundance, and other functions in yeast and mammalian cell assays (PMID: 29706350, 29785012, 32350270). This variant has been reported in an individual affected with breast cancer (PMID: 34326862) and an individual affected with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (PMID: 26580448). This variant has been identified in 2/251270 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.N117S variant (also known as c.350A>G), located in coding exon 5 of the PTEN gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 350. The asparagine at codon 117 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant has been reported in 1/1120 pediatric cancer patients who underwent whole genome sequencing and/or whole exome sequencing; this patient was diagnosed with ALL (Zhang J et al. N Engl J Med, 2015 Dec;373:2336-2346). In a massively parallel functional assay using a humanized yeast model, lipid phosphatase activity for this variant was wild type-like (Mighell TL et al. Am J Hum Genet, 2018 05;102:943-955). This variant demonstrated wild type-like intracellular protein abundance on one multiplex functional assay (Matreyek KA et al. Nat Genet, 2018 06;50:874-882). In a study utilizing 18 functional assays in five model systems, this variant was classified by the study authors as likely benign (Post KL et al. Nat Commun, 2020 04;11:2073). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The PTEN c.350A>G (p.Asn117Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with breast cancer and pediatric leukemia (PMIDs: 34326862 (2021), 26580448 (2015)), and observed in reportedly healthy individuals in a breast cancer association study (PMID: 33471991 (2021), see also LOVD (http://databases.lovd.nl/shared)). Functional studies indicate this variant has wild type-like effect on PTEN protein stability and phosphatase activity in yeast and human cells (PMIDs: 32350270 (2020), 29706350 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251270 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
