This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys105Valfs*8) in the PTEN gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in PTEN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9467011, 21194675). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with PTEN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 940879). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
Clinical Statement
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (2 clinical laboratories).

Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance
Functional Summary
The PTEN C105Vfs*8 variant is a truncating mutation that results in loss of PTEN phosphatase function, leading to an inability to negatively regulate PI3K/AKT pathway activity. Functional studies have demonstrated that such truncating mutations are oncogenic, increasing genome fragility due to the loss of PTEN's ability to associate with chromosomal centromeres. This evidence supports a damaging effect of the variant.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree." The evidence for this variant shows: a frameshift (c.313del) leading to a premature stop codon (C105Vfs*8) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease, and it is not in the last exon. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because it meets the PTEN PVS1 decision tree for a null variant causing loss of function.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift leading to a novel amino acid sequence and stop codon, not the same amino acid change as any known pathogenic variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "Very Strong: Two proven OR four assumed OR one proven + two assumed de novo observations." The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo occurrence data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Strong 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: functional studies demonstrate that C105Vfs*8 abolishes PTEN phosphatase activity and is oncogenic. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because well-established assays show a damaging effect.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Strong: The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls." The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or proband data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Moderate Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical functional domain (residues 90-94, 123-130, 166-168)." The evidence for this variant shows: the frameshift occurs at codon 105, which is not within the specified catalytic motifs. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2
PM2 (Supporting) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Absent in population Databases present at <0.00001 (0.001%) allele frequency in gnomAD." The evidence for this variant shows: it is not present in gnomAD or other large population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because it is absent from controls.
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 shows: no data on trans observations with another pathogenic PTEN variant. 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 indels or stop-loss variants." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift leading to truncation, not an in-frame alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Moderate Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Very Strong: Two proven OR four assumed OR one proven + two assumed de novo observations." The evidence for this variant shows: no presumed de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Supporting: Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members." The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Supporting Missense variant in a gene with low benign missense variation where missense is a common mechanism." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect." The evidence for this variant shows: computational tools are not applicable to a truncating frameshift. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Supporting Phenotype specific for disease with single genetic etiology." The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotype information is provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Supporting Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic without available evidence." The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar lists it as Pathogenic (2 clinical laboratories) without primary data. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength.
BA1
BA1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified

BS1
BS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong gnomAD Filtering allele frequency from 0.000043 up to 0.00056." The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Strong Observed as homozygous in a healthy individual." The evidence for this variant shows: no homozygous observations in unaffected individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Strong Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect." The evidence for this variant shows: functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
