Is TSC2 p.Val164= (c.492C>T) pathogenic?

TSC2 p.Val164= (c.492C>T) is classified Benign/Likely benign in TSC2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-05-07). Very rare (popmax 0.000657%); Associated with tuberous sclerosis 2.

What condition is associated with TSC2 p.Val164= (c.492C>T)?

TSC2 p.Val164= (c.492C>T) is associated with tuberous sclerosis 2, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is TSC2 p.Val164= (c.492C>T) in the general population?

TSC2 p.Val164= (c.492C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000657%) (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.
