Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP2 PP3

The NM_000314.8(PTEN):​c.409_411delGCAinsTTT​(p.Ala137Phe) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. A137A) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a helix (size 12) in uniprot entity PTEN_HUMAN there are 17 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in NM_000314.8
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP2: Missense variant in the PTEN gene, where missense mutations are typically associated with disease (based on misZ statistic). The gene has 209 curated pathogenic missense variants (we use a threshold of 10). The gene has 22 curated benign missense variants. Gene score misZ: 3.4883 (above the threshold of 3.09). Trascript score misZ: 4.1129 (above the threshold of 3.09). GenCC associations: The gene is linked to Lhermitte-Duclos disease, Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome, Proteus syndrome, macrocephaly-autism syndrome, Cowden syndrome 1, Cowden disease, Proteus-like syndrome, leiomyosarcoma, activated PI3K-delta syndrome, PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, glioma susceptibility 2, renal cell carcinoma.
• PP3: No computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, but strongly conserved according to phyloP

This sequence change replaces alanine with phenylalanine at codon 137 of the PTEN protein (p.Ala137Phe). The alanine residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between alanine and phenylalanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with PTEN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 237645). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive, but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. 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. -
