NM_001127208.2:c.4259T>G

Classification Summary

Pathogenic

The TET2 NM_001127208.2:c.4259T>G (L1420*) variant is classified as Pathogenic due to a clear loss-of-function effect evidenced by a truncating variant (PVS1) and strong functional data (PS3), along with its absence from population databases (PM2). Although benign computational evidence (BP4) was noted, it does not outweigh the pathogenic evidence.

Summary
The TET2 L1420* variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein. This disruption is predicted to inactivate the gene, leading to a loss of enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). Such truncating mutations in TET2 are considered oncogenic events.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, splice site, etc.) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows a truncating mutation (L1420*) in TET2, which is expected to disrupt the C-terminal catalytic domain. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the variant is a null variant in a gene where loss-of-function is pathogenic.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
According to PTEN Pre-processing guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Well-established in vitro or in vivo functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product.' The evidence for this variant shows that the truncating mutation disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein, inactivating its enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hmC. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because functional studies support a damaging effect.
PM2
PM2 (Moderate)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: 'Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive).' The evidence for this variant shows that it is not present in gnomAD or other population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from population controls.
BP4
BP4 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: 'Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on the gene or gene product.' The evidence for this variant includes a CADD score of 8.65 and SpliceAI predictions indicating minimal splicing impact, suggesting a benign computational profile. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because the in silico evidence favors a benign effect.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant but resulting from a different nucleotide change.' The evidence for this variant does not include any information of an alternate nucleotide causing the same amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history.' The evidence for this variant does not include confirmed de novo status. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'Prevalence in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with controls.' The evidence for this variant does not include case-control data supporting this criterion. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation.' Although the variant affects the catalytic domain, the lack of additional confirmatory evidence such as mutational clustering prevents its use. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: 'Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders).' The evidence for this variant does not provide information on allelic phase or occurrence in trans. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: 'Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions or stop-loss variants.' The evidence for this variant involves a truncating mutation rather than an in-frame alteration, hence this criterion is not applicable. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen.' The evidence for this variant indicates a nonsense change, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: 'Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity.' The evidence for this variant does not provide any information regarding de novo occurrence. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: 'Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members.' The evidence for this variant does not include familial segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: 'Missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant identifies a truncating mutation rather than a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: 'Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product.' The evidence for this variant shows benign computational predictions, thus not fulfilling this criterion. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: 'Patient's phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.' The evidence for this variant does not include detailed phenotypic information. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: 'Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence.' The evidence for this variant does not include such a report. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'Allele frequency is too high for the disorder (based on population data).' The evidence for this variant shows a frequency of 0% in population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: 'Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder.' The evidence for this variant does not support a high allele frequency. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: 'Observed in healthy individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age.' The evidence for this variant does not include observations in healthy individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: 'Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing.' The evidence for this variant, instead, includes functional studies indicating loss of function. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: 'Lack of segregation in affected family members.' The evidence for this variant does not include segregation data that would support non-segregation. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: 'Missense variant in a gene for which primarily loss-of-function variants are known to cause disease.' The evidence for this variant is a nonsense mutation, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: 'Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for dominant disorders or in cis with a pathogenic variant.' The evidence for this variant does not include information on allelic configuration with another pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP3
BP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: 'In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function.' The evidence for this variant is a truncating change rather than an in-frame indel in a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP5
BP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: 'Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease.' The evidence for this variant does not include any alternate molecular diagnosis. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP6
BP6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: 'Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence.' The evidence for this variant does not include such a report from a reputable source. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP7
BP7 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: 'Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing.' The evidence for this variant identifies a nonsense mutation and not a synonymous change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
