COSM1737964

Classification Summary

Pathogenic

The NM_001127208.2:c.3765C>G variant in the TET2 gene is classified as Pathogenic based on the application of PVS1, PS3, and PM2 criteria. The evidence includes the presence of a truncating mutation consistent with loss of function, functional studies demonstrating a damaging effect, and absence from population databases.

Functional Impact
Summary
The TET2 Y1255* variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein, leading to loss of enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). This loss of function is consistent with gene inactivation and is considered an oncogenic event.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines: 'Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows: The TET2 Y1255* variant is a truncating mutation, which is a null variant. Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements because it is a known mechanism of disease for TET2.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines: 'Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product.' The evidence for this variant shows: Functional studies indicate that the TET2 Y1255* variant disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain, leading to loss of enzymatic function. Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements because it is supported by functional studies demonstrating a damaging effect.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to VCEP guidelines: 'Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive).' The evidence for this variant shows: The variant is not found in population databases such as gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion meets the requirements because the variant is absent from controls.
