PTEN c.238A>G

PTEN c.238A>G (p.Lys80Glu) is a missense variant in exon 4 of the phosphatase domain. The variant is absent from population databases (gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1), meeting PM2_Supporting per PTEN VCEP.1 Functional data from Mighell et al. 2018 (PMID: 29706350) saturation mutagenesis assay demonstrates a cumulative fitness score of -1.60681967, below the -1.11 threshold for PS3_Moderate, indicating significantly reduced phosphatase activity with high confidence.2 Computational evidence supports pathogenicity: REVEL score 0.775 (>0.7 threshold for PP3) per PTEN VCEP specification.3 PP2 is applied as PTEN has a low rate of benign missense variation and missense variants are a common disease mechanism.4 No benign criteria are met: variant is absent from population databases (BA1/BS1 not met), no homozygous observations (BS2 not met), functional data shows damaging effect (BS3 not met), REVEL exceeds benign threshold (BP4 not met).5 Under the PTEN VCEP v3.2.0 combination rules, this evidence set (PS3_Moderate + PM2_Supporting + PP2 + PP3 = 1 moderate + 3 supporting) does not trigger any Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic classification rule. The variant is classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS).6

      Functional Unknown Oncogenic Effect
      OncoKB did not identify variant-specific reviewed functional evidence for this variant; gene-level curated context is available for reviewer follow-up. PTEN, a lipid and protein phosphatase, is one of the most frequently mutated genes in cancer.
