Functional Studies & Therapeutic Relevance

Functional Summary

The TET2 Q831Tfs*15 variant is a truncating mutation that disrupts the C-terminal catalytic domain of the TET2 protein, leading to loss of enzymatic function necessary for generating 5-hydroxymethylcytosine. This disruption is predicted to cause gene inactivation and is considered an oncogenic event.

VCEP Guidelines

Applied ACMG/AMP Criteria (VCEP Specific)

Filter Criteria:
PVS1

PVS1 (Very Strong)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PVS1 is: "Null variant (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single exon deletion) in a gene where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease." The evidence for this variant shows it is a frameshift (c.2490dupA, Q831Tfs*15) predicted to truncate TET2 and abolish its catalytic domain. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Very Strong strength because the truncating variant is expected to cause loss of function in a gene where LOF is disease-causing.

PS1

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 no previously reported pathogenic variant at codon Q831 with a different nucleotide alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS2

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." No de novo inheritance information is available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PS3

PS3 (Strong)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS3 is: "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 assays demonstrate that Q831Tfs*15 truncates the C-terminal catalytic domain of TET2, abolishing 5-hydroxymethylcytosine generation. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Strong strength due to well-established studies demonstrating loss of function.

PS4

PS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PS4 is: "Prevalence in affected individuals significantly increased compared with controls." No case-control or cohort data demonstrating enrichment in affected individuals are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM1

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." While Q831 is within the catalytic domain, no specific hotspot designation exists. 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) in population databases." The evidence for this variant shows a MAF of 0.0004% in gnomAD with no homozygotes. Therefore, this criterion is applied at Moderate strength because the variant is extremely rare in controls.

PM3

PM3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM3 is: "Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for recessive disorders." TET2‐related disease is dominant and no trans data are relevant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM4

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." This variant is a frameshift leading to premature truncation, not an in-frame alteration. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM5

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." This variant is not a missense change. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PM6

PM6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM6 is: "Assumed de novo, but without confirmation of paternity and maternity." No de novo data are available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP1

PP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP1 is: "Co‐segregation with disease in multiple affected family members." No segregation data are provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP2

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." This variant is not missense. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP3

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." In silico tools (SpliceAI max score 0.03) do not predict significant splicing impact and no consensus of pathogenic computational predictions exists. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP4

PP4 (Not Applied)

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." Phenotypic data are not provided. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

PP5

PP5 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PP5 is: "Reputable source reports variant as pathogenic, but without accessible evidence." No such report exists. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BA1

BA1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BA1 is: "Allele frequency is too high for the disorder." The variant frequency (0.0004%) is below thresholds. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS1

BS1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS1 is: "Allele frequency is greater than expected for the disorder." The variant frequency does not exceed expected limits. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS2

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." No such observations are reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS3

BS3 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS3 is: "Well-established functional studies show no damaging effect." Functional studies demonstrate damaging loss of function. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BS4

BS4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BS4 is: "Lack of segregation in affected family members." Family segregation data are not available. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP1

BP1 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP1 is: "Missense variant in a gene where only loss of function causes disease." This is not a missense variant. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP2

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." No such observations exist. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP3

BP3 (Not Applied)

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

BP4

BP4 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP4 is: "Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact." Computational evidence shows minimal splicing effect but does not override loss-of-function mechanism. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP5

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." No alternate molecular basis is reported. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP6

BP6 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP6 is: "Reputable source reports variant as benign, but without accessible evidence." No such report exists. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.

BP7

BP7 (Not Applied)

According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for BP7 is: "Synonymous variant with no predicted impact on splicing." This variant is not synonymous. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
