Is PTEN p.Thr348= (c.1044A>G) pathogenic?

PTEN p.Thr348= (c.1044A>G) is classified Benign/Likely benign in PTEN (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 5 submitters; last evaluated 2025-05-13). Very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe); Associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome.

What condition is associated with PTEN p.Thr348= (c.1044A>G)?

PTEN p.Thr348= (c.1044A>G) is associated with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome, Cowden syndrome 1, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is PTEN p.Thr348= (c.1044A>G) in the general population?

PTEN p.Thr348= (c.1044A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome inherited?

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

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
