PTEN c.993C>A

NM_000314.8:c.993C>A (p.Asp331Glu) in PTEN has a cumulative fitness score of -0.106 in the Mighell et al. 2018 saturation mutagenesis assay, indicating near-wild-type phosphatase activity that does not meet PS3 or BS3 thresholds.1 The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada, meeting VCEP PM2_Supporting (allele frequency <0.001%).2 PP2_Supporting is applied as PTEN has a low rate of benign missense variation and missense variants are a well-established disease mechanism.3 The variant does not reside in VCEP-defined catalytic motifs (residues 90-94, 123-130, 166-168) and is not in a statistically significant hotspot, so PM1 is not met.4 REVEL score of 0.622 does not meet PP3 threshold (>0.7) or BP4 threshold (<0.5); computational evidence is indeterminate.5 No pathogenic or likely pathogenic comparator variant at codon 331 was identified in ClinVar; PM5 is not met.6 PVS1 is not applicable as this is a missense variant outside the scope of the PTEN PVS1 decision tree. PS2, PS4, PM6, PP1, BS4, BP2, and BP5 could not be assessed due to absence of clinical, de novo, segregation, or co-occurrence data.7 With two supporting pathogenic criteria (PM2_Supporting, PP2_Supporting) and no moderate, strong, or very-strong criteria met, the variant does not reach Likely Pathogenic under the PTEN VCEP combination rules. The variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS).8

Assessed · not applied
Pathogenic
PS1 No prior pathogenic or likely pathogenic classification exists for the same amino acid change (p.Asp331Glu) at this residue.
PS2 No de novo observation data available for this variant.
PS3 D331E cumulative fitness score (Cum_score) of -0.106 from the Mighell et al.
PS4 No proband or case-control data available.
PM1 Residue 331 (p.Asp331) resides in the C2 domain, not within the VCEP-defined catalytic motifs at residues 90-94, 123-130, or 166-168 of NP_000305.3.
PM5 No pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense variant at codon 331 has been identified in ClinVar to serve as a comparator for the PM5 same-residue missense change rule.
PM6 No de novo observation data available for this variant.
PP1 No co-segregation data available for this variant.
PP3 REVEL score of 0.622 does not meet the VCEP PP3 threshold of >0.7.
Benign
BA1 Variant is absent from gnomAD and does not exceed the VCEP BA1 allele frequency threshold of >0.00056 (0.056%).
BS1 Variant is absent from gnomAD and does not meet BS1 allele frequency thresholds (≥0.0000043 for BS1_Supporting; ≥0.000043 for BS1_Strong).
BS2 No homozygous observations in healthy or PHTS-unaffected individuals identified.
BS3 BS3_Supporting requires phosphatase activity >0 per Mighell et al.
BS4 No segregation data available to assess lack of segregation in affected family members.
BP2 No data available on co-occurrence in trans or cis with other pathogenic or likely pathogenic PTEN variants.
BP4 REVEL score of 0.622 is not <0.5, failing the VCEP BP4 threshold for missense variants.
BP5 No data on an alternate molecular basis for disease in a case carrying this variant.
