Pathogenic for overgrowth syndrome and/or cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR pathway genes. Applied ACMG criteria (verbatim):
PM2_Supporting PS3_Supporting PS2_Strong PS4 PP2
Curation rationale (ClinGen, verbatim)
The c.6644C>T (NM_004958.4) variant in MTOR is a missense variant predicted to cause substitution of (p.Ser2215Phe). This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1.1 (PM2_Supporting). MTOR, in which the variant was identified, is defined by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel as a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where pathogenic missense variants are a common mechanism of disease (PP2). This variant has been shown to significantly increase phosphorylation levels in experiments with case and control cells of similar isogenic backgrounds indicating that this variant impacts protein function (PMID: 27159400) (PS3_Supporting). The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls (PS4; PMIDs: 27159400, 27830187 ; identified in 8 individuals with neuropathology confirmatory of a malformation of cortical development and 19 tumor samples in the literature and COSMIC). This variant has been confirmed de novo and has been identified with variable allelic fractions consistent with a post-zygotic event (PS2_Strong; PMIDs: 27159400, 27159400, 27830187). In summary, this variant meets the criteria to be classified as Pathogenic for mosaic autosomal dominant overgrowth with or without cerebral malformations due to abnormalities in MTOR-pathway genes based on the ACMG/AMP criteria applied, as specified by the ClinGen Brain Malformations Expert Panel: PM2_P, PP2, PS3_P, PS4, PS2; 11 points (VCEP specifications version 1; Approved: 1/31/2021)

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
Population frequency
Absent from gnomAD v4.1. Not observed in any sequenced alleles — a rarity signal (ACMG PM2-supporting), not evidence of pathogenicity on its own.
