Classification rationale
1
The PTEN c.70G>A (p.Asp24Asn) variant has been observed in somatic cancers in COSMIC (COSV64295411; 8 occurrences) and has been reported in ClinVar, where it is classified as pathogenic by three clinical laboratory submissions.
2
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and gnomAD v4.1, supporting rarity in population databases.
3
Functional testing in the PTEN saturation mutagenesis phosphatase assay showed a high-confidence damaging result for D24N (Cum_score -1.549791026), which supports a deleterious effect on PTEN function.

Computational evidence supports a deleterious effect for this missense variant based on a REVEL score of 0.753, while SpliceAI predicts no significant splice impact (maximum delta score 0.02).
