RCV001837028 | SCV001949962 | pathogenic | Overgrowth syndrome and/or cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR pathway genes | 2022-02-17 | reviewed by expert panel | curation | The c.5930C>G (NM_004958.4) variant in MTOR is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.Thr1977Arg). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). MTOR, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). A different amino acid change (p.Thr1977Lys), at this locus is classified as pathogenic for Overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes by the ClinGen BMEP (PM5). This variant resides within the kinase domain of MTOR that is defined as a critical functional domain by the ClinGen BMEP (PMIDs: 23322780, 27482884, 21210909) (PM1_Supporting). This variant has been shown to significantly increase phosphorylation levels in experiments with case and controls cells of similar isogenic backgrounds indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID: 24631838) (PS3_Supporting). The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4_M; PMIDs: 25799227, 29281825, identified in 2 individuals with neuropathology confirmatory of a malformation of cortical development, 1 individual with neuroimaging appearance consistent with a malformation of cortical development (without neuropathology), 5 tumor samples in the literature and COSMIC). Testing of unaffected and affected tissue show variable allelic fractions consistent with a post-zygotic event (PS2_Moderate; PMID: 25799227). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for mosaic autosomal dominant overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel: PM2_P, PP2, PM5, PM1_P, PS3_P, PS4_M, PS2_M; 10 points (VCEP specifications version 1; Approved: 1/31/2021) |
