rs45517416

Description

This variant was observed as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population. A literature search was performed for the gene, cDNA change, and amino acid change (where applicable). Publications were found based on this search. The evidence from the literature, in combination with allele frequency data from public databases where available, was sufficient to determine this variant is unlikely to cause disease. Therefore, this variant is classified as likely benign.

c.5260-15C>T in intron 41 of TSC2: This variant is not expected to have clinical significance because a C>T change at this position does not diverge from the sp lice consensus sequence and is therefore unlikely to impact splicing. It has bee n identified in 0.2% (132/65448) of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregatio n Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs45517416).

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease.
