The c.802-1G>T intronic pathogenic mutation results from a G to T substitution one nucleotide upstream from coding exon 8 of the PTEN gene. This alteration has been reported in the literature in a 45-year-old man with a history of an overall polyp burden of more than 100 polyps, macrocephaly and classic mucocutaneous findings including trichilemmomas and oral papillomas consistent with a diagnosis of Cowden Syndrome (Modi RM et al. Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol, 2017 08;15:e131-e132). This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site and will result in the creation or strengthening of a novel splice acceptor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As such, this alteration is classified as a disease-causing mutation.
Donor and acceptor splice site variants typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in PTEN are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9467011, 21194675). This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 7 of the PTEN gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individuals affected with Cowden syndrome (PMID: 27477328, 28677221). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 827401). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
This variant is considered pathogenic. This variant occurs within a consensus splice junction and is predicted to result in abnormal mRNA splicing of either an out-of-frame exon or an in-frame exon necessary for protein stability and/or normal function. This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with clinical features of gene-specific disease [PMID: 28677221, 28013114]. mRNA analysis has demonstrated abnormal mRNA splicing occurs [PMID: 28677221].

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific) VCEP Guidelines
PVS1
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule/finding for PVS1 is: 'Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree.' The evidence for this variant shows: c.802-1G>T disrupts the canonical splice acceptor site (±1 position) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism and it is not in the last exon. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the variant is predicted to abolish normal splicing in PTEN.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule/finding for PS1 is: 'Strong: Same amino acid change as a previously established pathogenic variant regardless of nucleotide change OR different variant at same nucleotide position as a pathogenic splicing variant, where in silico models predict impact equal to or greater than the known pathogenic variant.' The evidence for this variant shows: no previously established pathogenic variant at this nucleotide position causing an identical outcome. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule/finding for PS2 is: 'Strong: De novo (both maternity and paternity confirmed) observation in a patient with the disease and no family history.' The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo segregation data available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3
PS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to PTEN pre-processing, the finding for PS3 is: 'The variant has not been functionally characterized.' The evidence for this variant shows: no in vitro or in vivo functional assay data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule/finding for PS4 is: 'Strong: Probands with specificity score 4-15.5 OR significantly increased prevalence in affected vs controls.' The evidence for this variant shows: no case count or case–control data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1

According to VCEP guidelines, the rule/finding for PM1 is: 'Moderate: Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical functional domain defined to include residues in catalytic motifs: 90-94, 123-130, 166-168.' The evidence for this variant shows: this is a splice site variant, not within a defined PTEN catalytic motif. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
