Ambry Genetics | RCV002340403 | SCV002637395 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2020-07-06 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.486delC pathogenic mutation, located in coding exon 5 of the PTEN gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 486, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D162Efs*5). This alteration was identified in a 36 year old Japanese man who presented with focal cortical dysplasia, cobblestoning over the tongue, palmar pitting and macrocephaly (Adachi T et al. Intern. Med., 2018 Jan;57:97-99). In addition to the clinical data presented in the literature, this alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. |
