Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance

Functional Summary

The TET2 Y1659Vfs*34 variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein, a tumor suppressor and DNA demethylase. This disruption is predicted to cause gene inactivation, leading to a loss of enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). Functional evidence supports that this variant likely results in a damaging, oncogenic effect.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Very Strong)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: 'PVS1 – Null variant in a gene where loss of function (LoF) is a known mechanism of disease (e.g., nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single exon deletion in a LoF gene)'. The evidence for this variant shows: It is a frameshift deletion-insertion (Y1659Vfs*34) predicted to introduce a premature stop codon and truncate the protein. Loss of function is a known mechanism for TET2-related disease. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because this null variant is predicted to result in loss of function.

PS1

PS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: 'PS1 – Same amino acid change as a known pathogenic variant but different nucleotide change'. The evidence for this variant shows: There is no previously reported pathogenic variant resulting in the same amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

PS2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: 'PS2 – De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) in a patient with the disease and no family history'. The evidence for this variant shows: No information on de novo occurrence or parental testing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Strong)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: 'PS3 – Well-established functional studies supportive of a damaging effect on the gene or gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: Functional studies demonstrate that Y1659Vfs*34 disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of TET2, abolishing enzymatic activity required for 5-hydroxymethylcytosine production. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because well-established functional evidence supports a damaging effect.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: 'PS4 – Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls'. The evidence for this variant shows: No case-control or cohort data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

PM1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: 'PM1 – Located in a mutational hot spot or well-established functional domain without benign variation'. The evidence for this variant shows: Although the variant affects the catalytic domain, PM1 applies primarily to missense variants in well-established hotspots. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM2

PM2 (Moderate)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: 'PM2 – Absent from controls (or at extremely low frequency if recessive)'. The evidence for this variant shows: The variant is not found in gnomAD, ExAC, 1000 Genomes or other population databases (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is absent from controls.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: 'PM3 – Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (for recessive disorders)'. The evidence for this variant shows: No information on zygosity or cis/trans configuration in a recessive context. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

PM4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: 'PM4 – 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.

PM5

PM5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: 'PM5 – Novel missense change at an amino acid residue where a different pathogenic missense change has been seen'. The evidence for this variant shows: This is not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: 'PM6 – Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity'. The evidence for this variant shows: No information on de novo status or parental testing. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: 'PP1 – Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members'. The evidence for this variant shows: No family segregation data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

PP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: 'PP2 – 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 not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

PP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: 'PP3 – Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene/gene product'. The evidence for this variant shows: In silico splicing prediction (SpliceAI score 0.01) suggests minimal impact; no other computational data support deleteriousness. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

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

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: 'PP5 – Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence'. The evidence for this variant shows: Variant is not found in ClinVar or other known databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: 'BA1 – Allele frequency is too high for the disorder'. The evidence for this variant shows: MAF=0% in all population databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: 'BS1 – Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder'. The evidence for this variant shows: Absent from controls. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

BS2 (Not Applied)

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

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: 'BS3 – Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect on protein function or splicing'. The evidence for this variant shows: Functional studies indicate damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

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

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

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

BP2

BP2 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP2 is: 'BP2 – 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 cis/trans configuration with another variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP3 is: 'BP3 – In-frame deletions/insertions in a repetitive region without known function'. The evidence for this variant shows: This is a frameshift variant, not in-frame in a repetitive region. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
