PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes a phosphatase converting the lipid messenger PIP3 back to PIP2 at the cell membrane, thereby restraining the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway that drives cell growth, proliferation, and survival. It is one of the most frequently mutated genes across many types of human cancer, and its loss promotes unchecked cell growth, survival, and genomic instability, partly through impaired DNA repair. Germline loss-of-function variants in PTEN cause Cowden syndrome, an inherited cancer predisposition disorder associated with elevated risk of breast and thyroid cancer.

This variant

This p.(Ile253dup) alteration affects PTEN, a tumor-suppressor phosphatase that restrains AKT/mTOR signaling, with germline PTEN loss of function causing Cowden syndrome.

VUS: PM2 (supporting) alone does not satisfy any combination rule in the PTEN Expert Panel's Version 3.2 framework.
Classification rationale
PM2 VUS
PTEN c.758_760dup in_frame_indel_unknown · exon 7

PM2 supporting: the variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, meeting the PTEN population-frequency threshold.

LYFE Sciences is an AI system, and it can make mistakes. Criteria may be applied incorrectly, sources may be misread, and a confident-looking classification can still be wrong. Double-check every criterion and its underlying evidence before relying on any call.

Strength Supporting Moderate Strong Very strong
PM2 supporting Pathogenic
Met at supporting strength: the variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, satisfying the PTEN PM2 absence threshold of <0.00001.
ClinGen PTEN VCEP v3.2 specifies PM2 supporting for absence or allele frequency <0.00001 (0.001%) in gnomAD or another large sequenced population; when multiple alleles are present in a subpopulation, that subpopulation frequency must be <0.00002 (0.002%).The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, as well as gnomAD v2.1 non-cancer and gnomAD v3.1 non-cancer, so the PTEN PM2 absence criterion is met at supporting strength.
Assessed · not applied · 4 not met · 10 not assessed
Pathogenic
PS2 Not assessed: no documented proband phenotype, parental testing, maternity/paternity confirmation, or family-history information establishes a proven de novo occurrence.
PS3 Not assessed: the governing assay contains no c.758_760dup, p.Ile253dup, or p.I253dup entry, and the variant is an in-frame duplication rather than a tested missense substitution.
PS4 Not assessed: no case-control enrichment, proband phenotype, family history, or PTEN phenotype-specificity score was reported for this variant.
PM1 Not met: residue 253 lies outside PTEN catalytic motifs 90–94, 123–130, and 166–168, and no hotspot was identified.
PM4 Not met: p.(Ile253dup) adds one residue at 253, outside PTEN catalytic motifs 90-94, 123-130, and 166-168, and does not cause protein extension.
PM6 Not assessed: no documented assumed de novo observation, proband disease phenotype, family-history status, or count of independent de novo occurrences supports PM6.
PP1 Not assessed: no affected relatives, co-segregation results, or meioses are documented to meet the PTEN VCEP minimum of 3 meioses.
Benign
BA1 Not met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, so its frequency does not exceed the PTEN BA1 threshold of 0.00056.
BS1 Not met: the variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and v4.1, rather than having a PTEN BS1-range frequency of 0.0000043 to 0.00056.
BS2 Not assessed: gnomAD reports no variant observation and supplies no homozygote count or healthy-individual genotype evidence for the PTEN BS2 rule.
BS3 Not assessed: the governing assay has no c.758_760dup, p.Ile253dup, or p.I253dup result, so no benign functional value is available for this in-frame duplication.
BS4 Not assessed: no affected-family testing or non-segregation observations are documented for one family or for two or more families.
BP2 Not assessed: no documented cis/trans phase observation with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic PTEN variant is available.
BP5 Not assessed: no qualifying alternate molecular diagnosis in at least two cases or non-overlapping personal and family history was reported.
