Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance

Functional Summary

The TET2 Q1542Gfs*26 variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein, leading to loss of enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. This loss-of-function effect is consistent with oncogenic events in hematologic malignancies, indicating a damaging impact on TET2 function.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Very Strong)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'Null variant (nonsense, fs, start codon, splicing +1/2, startgain, single or multi-exon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: NM_001127208.2:c.4624_4636delinsGGT causes a Q1542Gfs*26 frameshift truncating the C-terminal catalytic domain of TET2. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because this is a null variant in a gene where loss of function is a known disease mechanism.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

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: this is a frameshift variant resulting in a novel premature stop, not a missense change matching a known pathogenic amino acid substitution. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because the variant does not meet the requirement of matching an established pathogenic amino acid change.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

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: there is no information on de novo status or parental testing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of data on de novo occurrence.

PS3

PS3 (Strong)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: in vitro studies demonstrate that Q1542Gfs*26 truncation abolishes TET2 catalytic function, consistent with loss-of-function in hematologic malignancies. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because robust functional data support a damaging effect.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

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 due to absence of comparative prevalence data.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

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: specific hotspot or benign variation data for Q1542 region are unavailable. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because hotspot/domain context is not established.

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: it is not present 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)

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 information on zygosity or trans observations. Therefore, this criterion is not applied due to lack of trans configuration data.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

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 frameshift leading to truncation, not an in-frame change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied because it does not involve an in-frame alteration.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

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: it is a frameshift, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

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: there is no de novo assumption or parental data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

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 segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

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: this is a frameshift variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: 'Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: computational tools predict loss of function due to truncation rather than in silico missense/splicing predictions. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: 'Patient's phenotype or family history highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology'. The evidence for this variant shows: no phenotypic or family history details provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

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: it is not reported in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'Allele frequency is too high for the disorder'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is absent from population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: 'Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is not present in population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: 'Observed in healthy individuals with full penetrance expected at an early age'. The evidence for this variant shows: no observations in healthy individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

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 shows: functional studies demonstrate damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: 'Lack of segregation in affected family members'. The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation analysis available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: 'Missense variant in a gene where only LOF causes disease'. The evidence for this variant shows: it is a LOF frameshift. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: 'Observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for dominant disorders or in cis with a pathogenic variant'. The evidence for this variant shows: no evidence of phase with another variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

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 shows: this is a frameshift, not an in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
