Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points: 6P and 0B. PM1 PM2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_000548.5(TSC2):c.4822T>A(p.Tyr1608Asn) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,460,580 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. Y1608C) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain Rap-GAP (size 227) in uniprot entity TSC2_HUMAN there are 360 pathogenic changes around while only 144 benign (71%) in NM_000548.5
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.925

Tuberous sclerosis 2 Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Dec 06, 2023	This sequence change replaces tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1608 of the TSC2 protein (p.Tyr1608Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TSC2-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 238064). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on TSC2 protein function. 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genome-Nilou Lab	Nov 07, 2021	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Johns Hopkins Genomics, Johns Hopkins University	Apr 22, 2020	This TSC2 variant is absent from a large population dataset and has not been reported in the literature, to our knowledge. A single submitter in ClinVar classifies c.4822T>A as a variant of uncertain clinical significance. Three bioinformatic tools queried predict that this substitution would be damaging, and the tyrosine residue at this position is highly evolutionarily conserved across the species assessed. Due to insufficient evidence that this variant is deleterious, we consider the clinical significance of c.4822T>A to be uncertain at this time. -

The p.Y1608N variant (also known as c.4822T>A), located in coding exon 36 of the TSC2 gene, results from a T to A substitution at nucleotide position 4822. The tyrosine at codon 1608 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
