Functional Impact & Domains
Functional Domain
The TET2 L371* variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein. This disruption is predicted to inactivate the gene, leading to a loss of enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC). Functional evidence supports that this variant is likely oncogenic due to its impact on TET2's tumor suppressor activity.

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1 (Very Strong)
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 (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: NM_001127208.2:c.1112delT is a truncating (nonsense) variant predicted to cause loss of TET2 function in a gene where LoF is established as disease‐causing. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the variant is a null change in a LoF gene.
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: there is no report of the same amino acid change (L371*) from a different nucleotide alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: de novo status has not been assessed or confirmed. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: functional assays demonstrate that L371* truncation disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of TET2, abolishing 5-hmC generation and tumor suppressor activity. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because robust in vitro/in vivo data support a damaging effect.
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.
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: while truncated, it is not a missense change in a defined hot spot; therefore PM1 is not applicable. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: the c.1112delT variant is absent from gnomAD and other population databases (MAF=0%). Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is not observed in population controls.
PM3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant". The evidence for this variant shows: no data on trans phase or zygosity in a recessive context. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: it is a truncating nonsense variant rather than an in-frame change; PVS1 already covers null variants. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: this is a nonsense change, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 assessment. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 family segregation data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: it is a truncating variant, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 (e.g., conservation, splicing impact)". The evidence for this variant shows: computational tools do not predict splicing or other effects beyond the null consequence, and null consequence is covered by PVS1. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4 (Not Applied)
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 phenotype specificity data were provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: no such reports exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: allele frequency is zero in controls. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: allele frequency is zero. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: not observed in healthy cohorts. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 a damaging effect. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 data. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 variant itself. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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 data on cis/trans with another variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: it is a truncating deletion, not an in-frame indel. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on gene or gene product". The evidence for this variant shows: the null effect is established by consequence, and computational tools do not override the predicted LoF. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP5 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP5 is: "Variant found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease". The evidence for this variant shows: no such cases reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP6 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence". The evidence for this variant shows: no benign reports exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP7 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing". The evidence for this variant shows: it is not synonymous. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
