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 Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• 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 16-2060660-C-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2060660-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 431920.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

The c.976-10 C>A variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. Several in-silico splice prediction models predict that c.976-10 C>A may create a cryptic splice acceptor site or may damage the natural splice acceptor site, which may lead to abnormal gene splicing. However, in the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change in this individual is unknown. Although this variant has not been previously reported to our knowledge, other splice site variants in intron 10 have been reported in association with tuberous sclerosis (TSC2 LOVD; Stenson et al., 2014). Therefore, this variant is likely pathogenic; however, the possibility that it is benign cannot be excluded. -
