Functional Impact
Summary
The PTEN K237Sfs*19 variant is a truncating mutation that results in the loss of PTEN phosphatase function, leading to an inability to negatively regulate the PI3K/AKT pathway. Functional studies have shown that such truncating mutations are oncogenic, increasing genome fragility and disrupting PTEN's association with chromosomal centromeres.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "PVS1 - Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree. Modification Type: Disease-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift truncating mutation (K237Sfs*19) in PTEN, a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because a null variant in PTEN meets the PVS1 decision tree requirements.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "PS1 - Strong Strength: Strong Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change OR different variant at same nucleotide position as a pathogenic splicing variant, where in silico models predict impact equal to or greater than the known pathogenic variant. Modification Type: Disease-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: it results in a frameshift and different amino acid sequence, not the same amino acid change as any known pathogenic variant. Therefore, PS1 is not applied because the variant does not meet the requirement of causing the same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "PS2 - Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Two proven OR four assumed OR one proven + two assumed de novo observations in a patient with the disease and no family history. Modification Type: Strength" and "Strong Strength: Strong De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) observation in a patient with the disease and no family history. Modification Type: None". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo occurrence data are available. Therefore, PS2 is not applied because there are no reported de novo observations.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
According to PTEN pre-processing, the finding for PS3 is: "The PTEN K237Sfs*19 variant is a truncating mutation that results in the loss of PTEN phosphatase function, leading to an inability to negatively regulate the PI3K/AKT pathway. Functional studies have shown that such truncating mutations are oncogenic, increasing genome fragility and disrupting PTEN's association with chromosomal centromeres." The evidence for this variant shows: well-established in vitro and in vivo functional studies confirm a damaging effect on PTEN. Therefore, PS3 is applied at Strong strength because functional studies specifically demonstrate a damaging effect on PTEN activity.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "PS4 - Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Probands with specificity score ≥16 (see text). Modification Type: Strength; Strong Strength: Strong Probands with specificity score 4-15.5 or significant prevalence increase; Moderate Strength: Moderate Probands with specificity score of 2-3.5; Supporting Strength: Supporting Phenotype specific for disease with single genetic etiology. Proband(s) with specificity score of 1-1.5". The evidence for this variant shows: no case series or proband specificity scores available. Therefore, PS4 is not applied due to lack of reported patient frequency or specificity data.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "PM1 - Moderate Strength: Moderate Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain. Defined to include residues in catalytic motifs: 90-94, 123-130, 166-168 (NP_000305.3). Modification Type: Disease-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: it occurs at residue 237, outside the defined catalytic motifs. Therefore, PM1 is not applied because the residue is not within a known critical functional domain.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "PM2 - Supporting Strength: Supporting Absent in population Databases present at <0.00001 (0.001%) allele frequency in gnomAD or another large sequenced population. If multiple alleles are present within any subpopulation, allele frequency in that subpopulation must be <0.00002 (0.002%). Modification Type: Disease-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: it is not found in gnomAD (MAF=0%). Therefore, PM2 is applied at Supporting strength because the variant is absent from population databases at the specified frequency threshold.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "PM3 - Moderate Strength: For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant OR for homozygous variants". The evidence for this variant shows: PTEN-related disorders are autosomal dominant and no trans variant is reported. Therefore, PM3 is not applied because the variant is not observed in trans in a recessive context.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "PM4 - Moderate Strength: Moderate Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants. Applies to in-frame insertions or deletions impacting at least one residue in a catalytic motif, and variants causing protein extension. Modification Type: Disease-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift truncation, not an in-frame insertion/deletion or stop-loss. Therefore, PM4 is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
