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]

Variant summary: PTEN c.210-7_210-3delCTTTT deletes 5 nucleotides located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. One publication reports experimental evidence that this variant affects mRNA splicing (Huang_2000), however, this effect was not confirmed in three other experimental studies (Brown_2000, Chen_2017, Casadei_2019), suggesting the variant does not significantly impact mRNA splicing. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00029 in 249498 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 18 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in PTEN causing Hereditary Breast And Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (1.6e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.210-7_210-3delCTTTT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with different types of cancer without unequivocal conclusion. Fourteen ClinVar submitters, including one expert panel (ClinGen PTEN Variant Curation Expert Panel), have assessed the variant since 2014: one classified the variant as pathogenic, five as VUS, five as likely benign, and three (including the expert panel) as benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

The PTEN c.210-7_210-3del variant was identified in 18 of 5644 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.003) from individuals or families with endometrial cancer, Cowden syndrome, Li Fraumeni, and breast cancer (Black 2004, Brown 2000, Chen 2017 , Hobert 2012, Pilarski 2011, Sweet 2005, Tung 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs587780544) as “With other allele”, in ClinVar (with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity; as likely benign by GeneDx, Invitae, and Integrated Genetics, and as uncertain significance by Ambry, Illumina, Counsyl, University of Chicago, Quest Diagnostics, EGL Genetic Diagnostics, and Cleveland Clinic), Cosmic (in endometrioid carcinoma), LOVD 3.0, and in the Zhejiang University Database (in individuals with Familial Juvenile Polyposis). The variant was not identified in the MutDB database. The variant was identified in control databases in 78 of 275204 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0003 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was identified in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 16 of 10086 chromosomes (freq: 0.002), Other in 4 of 6406 chromosomes (freq: 0.0006), European (Non-Finnish) in 38 of 125410 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), African in 7 of 23920 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Latino in 9 of 34240 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), East Asian in 3 of 18782 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), and South Asian in 1 of 30656 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003), while the variant was not observed in the Finnish population. The c.210-7_210-3del variant has inconsistent predictions of pathogenicity in the literature. Two functional studies of patients with Li-Fraumeni and Cowden syndrome showed the variant had no deleterious effect on mRNA processing (Brown 2000, Chen 2017). However, another study found an individual with the variant who met full Cowden syndrome diagnostic criteria exhibited elevated succinate in both plasma and urine, and concluded that the variant may actually be pathogenic (Hobert 2012). Another study of a family in which an unaffected father carried the variant, and his twin daughters both carried the variant and were affected with Juvenile Polyposis, concluded that RT-PCR analysis demonstrated the variant appears to affect RNA splicing (Huang 2000). The c.210-7_210-3del variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. In addition, 3 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing. However, this information is not predictive enough to assume pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This variant is considered likely benign. Homozygosity has been confirmed in one or more individuals. As homozygosity for pathogenic variants in this gene is generally assumed to result in embryonic lethality, this variant is unlikely to be pathogenic. -
