Genes affected
MTOR (HGNC:3942): (mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase) The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a family of phosphatidylinositol kinase-related kinases. These kinases mediate cellular responses to stresses such as DNA damage and nutrient deprivation. This kinase is a component of two distinct complexes, mTORC1, which controls protein synthesis, cell growth and proliferation, and mTORC2, which is a regulator of the actin cytoskeleton, and promotes cell survival and cell cycle progression. This protein acts as the target for the cell-cycle arrest and immunosuppressive effects of the FKBP12-rapamycin complex. Inhibitors of mTOR are used in organ transplants as immunosuppressants, and are being evaluated for their therapeutic potential in SARS-CoV-2 infections. Mutations in this gene are associated with Smith-Kingsmore syndrome and somatic focal cortical dysplasia type II. The ANGPTL7 gene is located in an intron of this gene.

Published functional studies demonstrate constitutive activation of mTOR complex 1 and enlarged neuronal size (Mirzaa et al., 2016); Not observed in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27159400, 30569621) -

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

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1977 of the MTOR protein (p.Thr1977Ile). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of MTOR-related conditions (PMID: 27159400, 30569621, 33833411). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 584432). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt MTOR protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects MTOR function (PMID: 27159400). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The MTOR c.5930C>T (p.Thr1977Ile) variant was identified at an allelic fraction consistent with somatic origin. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with brain malformations (Handoko, M et al. PMID: 30569621; Mirzaa GM et al., PMID: 27159400; Cao Y et al. PMID: 31349857) and has also been reported as a somatic variant in multiple cancer cases in the cancer database COSMIC (COSMIC ID: COSV63868784). The MTOR c.5930C>T (p.Thr1977Ile) variant has been reported in the ClinVar database as a pathogenic variant in both a somatic and germline state by numerous submitters (ClinVar ID: 584432). It is absent from the general population database (gnomAD v4.1.0), indicating it is not a common variant. The MTOR c.5930C>T (p.Thr1977Ile) variant resides within the FAT domain of MTOR that is defined as a critical functional domain (Xu J et al., PMID: 27482884; Mirzaa GM et al., PMID: 27159400). Other variants in the same codon, (p.Thr1977Lys and p.Thr1977Arg), have been reported in individuals with brain malformations and are considered pathogenic (Baldassari S et al., PMID: 31444548; Xu J et al., PMID: 27482884; ClinVar ID's: 1296989 and 156702). Computational predictors indicate that the variant is damaging, evidence that correlates with impact to MTOR function. In support of this prediction, in vitro functional studies showed that the p.Thr1977Ile variant activates mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling (Mirzaa GM et al., PMID: 27159400). The MTOR gene is defined by the ClinGen's Brain Malformations expert panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (Lai A et al., PMID: 35997716). Based on available information and an internally developed protocol informed by the ACMG/AMP guidelines for variant interpretation (Leon-Quintero FZ et al., PMID: 39434542) and the ClinGen Brain Malformation Variant Curation Expert Panel (Lai A et al, PMID: 35997716), the MTOR c.5930C>T (p.Thr1977Ile) variant is classified as pathogenic. -
