Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance
Functional Summary
The TET2 H1881Q variant has been functionally characterized and demonstrates a likely damaging effect. It is located in the catalytic domain of the TET2 protein and results in decreased enzymatic activity. When expressed in HEK293 cells, this variant showed proper cellular localization but lacked 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, indicating reduced catalytic function. This suggests a loss of function in the TET2 protein.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1
PVS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: this is a missense variant (H1881Q), not a null variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 different nucleotide change'. The evidence for this variant shows: no known pathogenic variant causing H1881Q has been reported. 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 shows: no de novo status or parental origin information is provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: functional characterization in HEK293 cells demonstrates decreased enzymatic activity and lack of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, indicating loss of TET2 function. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because functional studies demonstrate a damaging effect on the gene product.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines the rule for PS4 is: 'Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls'. The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or cohort prevalence data are available. 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'. The evidence for this variant shows: although H1881 is in the catalytic domain, there is insufficient evidence on benign variation in this region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: not found in gnomAD or other population databases (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from population 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 trans observations or recessive context. 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 shows: this is a single amino acid substitution without length change. 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 shows: no other pathogenic missense change at residue H1881 has been reported. 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 shows: de novo status is neither assumed nor documented. 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 shows: no family 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: '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 shows: TET2 disease mechanism is primarily loss of function, and missense variation rates are not well established as common benign. 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'. The evidence for this variant shows: in silico predictors are mixed or benign (CADD=0.90, REVEL=0.52, SpliceAI=0). 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 shows: no clinical phenotype or family history data provided. 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 shows: not reported in ClinVar or other sources. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1
