COSMIC ID: COSM9635392
Pathogenic
This nonsense variant Q1903* in TET2 is absent from population databases (PM2), has strong functional evidence of loss of enzymatic activity (PS3), and is a null variant in a gene where LoF is a known mechanism (PVS1). Although computational evidence is benign (BP4), the combined Very Strong, Strong, and Moderate pathogenic evidence supports a final classification of Pathogenic.

Functional Summary
The TET2 Q1903* 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
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: "c.5707C>T produces a premature stop codon Q1903*, resulting in a truncating/nonsense variant in TET2, where LoF is a known disease mechanism." Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the variant introduces a premature stop codon predicted to abolish protein function.
PS1
PS1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "No other pathogenic variant is reported at amino acid position Q1903 in TET2 with a different nucleotide change." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PS2
PS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "No data 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: "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 Q1903* truncates the C-terminal catalytic domain of TET2, abolishing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine generation and tumor suppressor activity." Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength because validated in vitro/in vivo studies show loss of enzymatic function.
PS4
PS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 available." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM1
PM1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "No specific hotspot or domain annotation beyond the general C-terminal region." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
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: "Variant absent (MAF=0%) in gnomAD and other population databases." Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the allele is not observed in large control cohorts.
PM3
PM3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 allelic configuration in a recessive context." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 nonsense variant causing truncation, not an in-frame indel or stop-loss." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM5
PM5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 variant, not a missense change." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PM6
PM6 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "No de novo data or parental testing available." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP1
PP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 provided." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP2
PP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 nonsense variant, not a missense change." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP3
PP3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "CADD score 9.4 and SpliceAI scores of 0 indicate no predicted deleterious effect." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP4
PP4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 specific phenotype or clinical context provided." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
PP5
PP5 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "Not found in ClinVar or other reputable variant databases." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2
BS2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 reports of the variant in healthy individuals." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS3
BS3 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 loss of function, not benign effect." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BS4
BS4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 available." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP1
BP1 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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: "This is a LoF (nonsense) variant, not a missense." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
BP2
BP2 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
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 allelic configuration data available." Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
