Functional Studies

Functional Impact
Summary
The TET2 P612Lfs*27 variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein. Functional evidence indicates that such truncating mutations lead to gene inactivation, resulting in the loss of TET2 enzymatic function to generate 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). This loss of function is considered an oncogenic event.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, or single/multi-exon deletion) in a gene where loss-of-function is a known mechanism of disease.' The evidence for this variant shows it is a frameshift (c.1835delC) leading to P612Lfs*27, a truncating mutation that disrupts the TET2 catalytic domain. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the variant clearly produces a loss-of-function effect.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
According to standard ACMG 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 TET2, with functional studies demonstrating loss of TET2 enzymatic activity (loss of 5-hmC generation) which is considered oncogenic. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because well-established functional studies support a damaging effect on the gene product.
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 absent from major population databases such as gnomAD. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is not observed in control populations.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but caused by a different nucleotide change.' The evidence for this variant shows no report of an alternate nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid alteration. 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 de novo occurrence confirmation. 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 lacks comparative population frequency data in affected versus control groups. 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 TET2 has functional domains, the evidence for this variant is its truncating nature (addressed by PVS1) rather than being within a specific hot spot. 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 include data about biallelic occurrences or trans configuration. 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.' Since this variant causes a frameshift leading to a premature truncation rather than an in-frame change, the evidence does not meet this criterion. 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 loss-of-function frameshift rather than a missense change at a specific residue. 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.' There is no evidence provided for a de novo status of this variant. 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 involve any family 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 is of a truncating nature rather than missense. 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 or gene product.' Although in silico predictions were evaluated, the evidence provided is insufficient to support a deleterious effect computationally. 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.' There is no detailed phenotype or family history information provided that meets this criterion. 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 rely on an external reputable source without accessible evidence. 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 (stand-alone benign evidence).' The evidence for this variant, being absent from controls, does not support a high allele frequency. 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 indicate 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.' There is no evidence that this variant is observed 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 clearly shows a damaging effect through truncation and 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.' There is no segregation data provided that would support this criterion. 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 cause the disease.' Since this variant is a truncating (loss-of-function) mutation, the evidence does not support using this criterion. 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 a dominant disorder or in cis with a pathogenic variant.' The evidence for this variant does not include information on allelic configuration with another 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 does not involve an in-frame event in a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4
BP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: 'Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on the gene or gene product.' Although some computational analysis (e.g., SpliceAI) shows no predicted splicing impact, the overall weight of evidence (truncation and functional studies) overrides computational predictions. 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.' There is no evidence that this variant occurs in the context of another pathogenic variant that would explain the phenotype. 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.' No reputable source has provided such a report for this variant. 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 indicates a frameshift and truncation rather than a synonymous change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
