RCV000169842 | SCV000222163 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2014-05-16 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant is denoted c.585delT at the cDNA level and p.His196ThrfsX3 at the protein level. The normal sequence with the base that is deleted in braces is: TGTT{T}CACAA. The c.585delT mutation in the PTEN gene has not been reported previously as a disease-causing mutation nor as a benign polymorphism, to our knowledge. The c.585delT mutation causes a frameshift starting with codon Histidine 196, changes this amino acid to a Threonine residue and creates a premature Stop codon at position 3 of the new reading frame, denoted p.His196ThrfsX3. This mutation is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function either through protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. The c.585delT mutation 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. This variant has been observed de novo with confirmed parentage. The variant is found in PTEN panel(s). |
