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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The TSC2 c.2838-3T>C intronic change results in a T to C substitution at the -3 position of intron 25 of the TSC2 gene. Algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing are inconclusive, and internal RNA data cannot conclusively determine the impact of this variant. This variant is absent in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.2838-3T>C intronic variant results from a T to C substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 25 in the TSC2 gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will not have any significant effect on splicing. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The TSC2 c.2838-3T>C variant has not been reported in individuals with TSC2-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000066 (1/152084 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect TSC2 mRNA splicing. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
