RCV004018364 | SCV004848112 | pathogenic | Tuberous sclerosis syndrome | 2019-02-01 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.Ile1357fs variant in TSC2 has not been previously reported in individuals with tuberous sclerosis and was absent from large population studies. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 1357 and leads to a premature termination codon 57 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Heterozygous loss of function of the TSC2 gene is an established disease mechanism in tuberous sclerosis. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for tuberous sclerosis in an autosomal dominant manner. |
