Is TSC2 p.Ser1738= (c.5214C>A) pathogenic?

TSC2 p.Ser1738= (c.5214C>A) is classified Likely benign in TSC2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-11-17). Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with tuberous sclerosis 2.

What condition is associated with TSC2 p.Ser1738= (c.5214C>A)?

TSC2 p.Ser1738= (c.5214C>A) is associated with tuberous sclerosis 2 (ClinVar).

How common is TSC2 p.Ser1738= (c.5214C>A) in the general population?

TSC2 p.Ser1738= (c.5214C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Tuberous sclerosis complex 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.
