Is PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A) pathogenic?

PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A) is classified Uncertain significance in PTEN (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2024-08-12). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.6128); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome.

What condition is associated with PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A)?

PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A) is associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A) in the general population?

PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about PTEN p.Asp324Glu (c.972T>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.6128) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
