Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PP5_Moderate
The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.2429_2461delTCTGCAGCGTGGAGATGCCTGACATCATCATCAinsC(p.Ile810ThrfsTer62) variant causes a frameshift, missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. I810I) has been classified as Uncertain significance. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.
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]

Variant 16-2074273-TCTGCAGCGTGGAGATGCCTGACATCATCATCA-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr16-2074273-TCTGCAGCGTGGAGATGCCTGACATCATCATCA-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 237989.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
This sequence change deletes 33 nucleotides and inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 22 of the TSC2 mRNA (c.2429_2461delinsC), causing a frameshift at codon 810. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ile810Lysfs*62) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in TSC2 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10205261, 17304050). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
