For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. While this particular variant has not been reported in the literature, truncating variants in PTEN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9467011, 21194675). This sequence change inserts 1 nucleotide in exon 6 of the PTEN mRNA (c.545dupT), causing a frameshift at codon 182. This creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu182Phefs*8) and is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product.
Clinical Statement
This variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (1 clinical laboratories).

Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance
Functional Summary
The PTEN L182Ffs*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 and impairing PTEN's association 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.545dup (L182Ffs*8) leading to a premature stop in PTEN, a gene where loss-of-function is a known disease mechanism, and it is not in the last exon. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong because the variant is a null variant in a LOF gene, as per VCEP PVS1.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change..." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not a missense change matching 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 loss of PTEN phosphatase activity and oncogenic effects for L182Ffs*8. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong because these well-established functional studies support a damaging effect.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Strong Probands with specificity score 4-15.5 OR increased prevalence in cases vs controls..." The evidence for this variant shows: no case-control or proband count data. 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 and well-established functional domain: residues 90-94, 123-130, 166-168." The evidence for this variant shows: position 182 is outside these critical 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 allele frequency." The evidence for this variant shows: c.545dup is not found in gnomAD or other large databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting because the variant is absent in population databases.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Moderate For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant..." The evidence for this variant shows: no allelic phase data with another PTEN variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Moderate Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions..." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not an in-frame indel. 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 missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen before..." 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. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Supporting/Moderate/Strong Co-segregation with disease in 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 that has a low rate of benign missense variation..." The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect..." The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI score is low and variant is a frameshift, so no additional computational support. 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 detailed PHTS‐specific phenotypic data provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5 (Supporting)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Supporting Reputable source recently reports variant as pathogenic but evidence not available for independent evaluation." The evidence for this variant shows: ClinVar lists it as Pathogenic by one clinical laboratory. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting because a reputable source reports pathogenicity.
