Is TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T) pathogenic?

TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in TSC2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-05-09). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1061); Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with tuberous sclerosis 2.

What condition is associated with TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T)?

TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T) is associated with tuberous sclerosis 2, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T) in the general population?

TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T) 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.

What do computational predictors say about TSC2 p.Ser970Phe (c.2909C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1061) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
