## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** ClinVar classifies this **uncertain**; the computational predictors unanimously lean **tolerated** — a triage signal, not a reclassification.

- AlphaMissense **likely benign** (0.2328)
- REVEL 0.538 (indeterminate)
- SaProt LLR -8.09 (tolerated) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL makes no call
- Conservation: phyloP 5.88, GERP 0.808, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (differs from AlphaMissense)
- CADD: **PHRED 23.5**. No single ClinGen-calibrated threshold exists and the expert panels that use CADD disagree — GUCY2D/AIPL1 require ≥ 20.0 for an untranslated-region variant, ABCA4 ≥ 28.1 for a synonymous or indel variant, the Pulmonary Hypertension panel imports Pejaver 2022's missense-calibrated numbers, and the Antibody Deficiencies panel declines CADD entirely for PIK3CD. CADD v1.7 also incorporates Zoonomia phyloP, so it partly re-expresses the conservation above. *Descriptive; no threshold applied.*
- Regional missense constraint: **o/e 1.00** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (2,048,616–2,085,274), spanning 36,658 bp. Chi-square p 0.88. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI: **below the reporting threshold**. This position is scored for a different substitution (C>G, Δ0.22 donor gain), so this allele was evaluated and its deltas all fell under Δ0.2 — a prediction of no splicing effect for this allele, not a gap in our data. *No ACMG code assigned.*
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **8.47e-05%** (nfe) · 1/1,180,018 in the highest group · 1/1,613,582 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe).

*Computational predictors are not independent (ClinGen Variant Classification guidance): AlphaMissense (Cheng et al. 2023) carries the ACMG weight for missense and conservation (phyloP/GERP/phastCons) for non-missense; REVEL (Pejaver-2022 calibrated strength bands) and SaProt (Su et al. 2023, structure-aware, ClinVar-independent protein language model, raw LLR) are shown as orthogonal agreement signals, not additive. For frequency, the gnomAD v4.1 grpmax filtering allele frequency (FAF95) is ClinGen's designated BA1/BS1 input (gnomAD v4 guidance v3.0, June 2025); BA1/BS1 thresholds are disease-specific, not a blanket 5%. Predictions, not a clinical determination.*

## Gene constraint & dosage {#gene-context}

**TSC2** population constraint: LOEUF 0.203, pLI 1, missense-Z 0.17171; ClinGen dosage — haploinsufficiency 3/3, triplosensitivity 0/3. *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **910** lies in an α-helix.

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 68.81, 13% of residues very-high.

**2 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [7DL2](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/7DL2), [9CE3](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9CE3).

## What this gene does {#gene-function}

*Describes the biological roles of TSC2 (the gene this variant disrupts) — not effects measured for this specific variant. A damaging variant is expected to affect these functions and pathways; the degree depends on the variant.*

**How this variant is thought to act:** TSC2's established molecular role includes GTPase activator activity. In Reactome, TSC2 is annotated in disease pathway(s) including **Constitutive Signaling by AKT1 E17K in Cancer**.
