Ambry Genetics | RCV002406657 | SCV002716051 | pathogenic | Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome | 2016-07-25 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The c.1717-8_1717-5delCTCT intronic pathogenic mutation, located upstream from coding exon 16 of the TSC2 gene, results from a deletion of 4 nucleotides at positions c.1717-8 to c.1717-5 within intron 15. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6498 samples (12996 alleles) with coverage at this position. To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.006% (greater than 20000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. These nucleotide positions are somewhat well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice acceptor site; however, direct experimental evidence is unavailable. This alteration was determined to be a de novo mutation in an individual diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis complex by our laboratory (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, c.1717-8_1717-5delCTCT is classified as a pathogenic mutation. |
