Functional Impact & Domains
Functional Domain
The PTEN N117Kfs*9 variant is a truncating mutation that results in the loss of PTEN phosphatase function, impairing its ability to negatively regulate the PI3K/AKT pathway. Functional studies have shown that expression of PTEN truncation mutations leads to oncogenic effects and increased genomic instability due to the inability of PTEN to associate with chromosomal centromeres. This evidence supports a damaging effect of the variant.

VCEP Guidelines
Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)
PVS1 (Very Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree. Modification Type: Disease-specific". The evidence for this variant shows: NM_000314.8:c.350dup is a frameshift leading to a premature stop (N117Kfs*9) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism and is not located in the last exon. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the PTEN PVS1 decision tree supports PVS1 for predicted null variants not in the final exon.
PS1 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS1 is: "Strong Strength: 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...". The evidence for this variant shows: this is a novel frameshift, not a previously established amino acid change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS2 is: "Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Two proven OR four assumed OR one proven + two assumed de novo observations...". The evidence for this variant shows: no de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS3 (Strong)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "Strong Strength: 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 that the N117Kfs*9 truncation abolishes PTEN phosphatase activity and leads to oncogenic pathway activation. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because well-established assays confirm a damaging effect.
PS4 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Probands with specificity score ≥16...". The evidence for this variant shows: no case count or specificity scores are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM1 is: "Moderate Strength: Moderate Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain... residues in catalytic motifs: 90-94, 123-130, 166-168.". The evidence for this variant shows: the frameshift does not occur in a defined PTEN mutational hotspot. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM2 (Supporting)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM2 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Absent in population Databases present at <0.00001 (0.001%) allele frequency in gnomAD...". The evidence for this variant shows: it is not present in gnomAD or other large population databases. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Supporting strength because the variant is absent from controls.
PM3 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Moderate Strength: Moderate For recessive disorders, detected in trans with a pathogenic variant...". The evidence for this variant shows: PTEN-related disease is autosomal dominant and no trans allelic data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Moderate Strength: Moderate Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions...". 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 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM5 is: "Moderate Strength: Moderate Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic has been seen...". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Very Strong Strength: Very Strong Two proven OR four assumed OR one proven + two assumed de novo observations...". The evidence for this variant shows: no assumed de novo information is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Strong Strength: Strong Co-segregation with disease in multiple affected family members...". The evidence for this variant shows: no segregation data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP2 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Missense variant in a gene with low rate of benign missense variation...". The evidence for this variant shows: it is a frameshift, not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for PP3 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect... REVEL score > 0.7; SpliceAI concordance...". The evidence for this variant shows: SpliceAI maximum score is 0.02 and no deleterious computational signals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP4 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Patient’s phenotype or family history is highly specific for a disease with a single genetic etiology.". The evidence for this variant shows: no detailed phenotype information is provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5 (Not Applied)
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Supporting Strength: Supporting Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic or likely pathogenic...". The evidence for this variant shows: not present in ClinVar or other databases. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BA1 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Stand Alone Strength: gnomAD Filtering allele frequency >0.00056 (0.056%)". The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS1 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Strong Strength: gnomAD Filtering allele frequency from 0.000043 up to 0.00056". The evidence for this variant shows: allele frequency is 0%. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS2 (Not Applied)
According to VCEP guidelines, the rule for BS2 is: "Strong Strength: Observed in homozygous state in a healthy individual...". The evidence for this variant shows: no homozygous observations in unaffected individuals. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
