The recorded framework is ClinGen PTEN VCEP v3.2. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
Y68C has a cumulative fitness score (Cum_score) of -2.73 in the Mighell et al. 2018 (PMID: 29706350) PTEN saturation mutagenesis phosphatase activity assay (Table S2), meeting the VCEP PS3_Moderate threshold of ≤ -1.11. The measurement is high-confidence (High_conf=True, Pass SE Filter). This represents systematic functional characterization of all possible missense variants at position 68 via massively parallel assay.
NM_000314.8:c.203A>G is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0. This meets the PTEN VCEP PM2_Supporting threshold of allele frequency < 0.00001 (0.001%).
PTEN is a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation (high missense constraint) and missense variants are a well-established common mechanism of disease in Cowden syndrome and related PTEN hamartoma tumor syndromes. NM_000314.8:c.203A>G is a missense variant meeting the PTEN VCEP PP2_Supporting criteria.
REVEL score of 0.985 exceeds the PTEN VCEP PP3_Supporting threshold of >0.7 for missense variants. BayesDel score of 0.594 provides additional supporting computational evidence, though the VCEP rule specifies REVEL for missense variants.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
ClinGen PTEN Expert Panel Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines for PTEN Version 3.2 v3.2 criteria-combination framework was evaluated deterministically with applied criteria: PS3 moderate, PM2 supporting, PP2 supporting, PP3 supporting; no rule matched the adjudicated criteria.

PS3_Moderate is met: Y68C has a cumulative fitness score of -2.73 in the Mighell et al. 2018 PTEN saturation mutagenesis phosphatase activity assay (Table S2 of PMID 29706350), meeting the PTEN VCEP threshold of ≤ -1.11 for PS3_Moderate.
PM2_Supporting is met: NM_000314.8:c.203A>G is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0, meeting the PTEN VCEP threshold of < 0.00001 (0.001%) allele frequency.
PP2_Supporting is met: PTEN has a low rate of benign missense variation and missense variants are a well-established common mechanism of disease in PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome.
PP3_Supporting is met: REVEL score of 0.985 exceeds the PTEN VCEP threshold of > 0.7 for missense variants.
No benign criteria are met. The variant is absent from population databases, functional data demonstrates a damaging effect, and computational predictions support pathogenicity.
Classification: VUS (Variant of Uncertain Significance). The variant has 1 moderate criterion (PS3_Moderate) and 3 supporting criteria (PM2_Supporting, PP2_Supporting, PP3_Supporting). This combination (1M + 3Spt) does not meet any PTEN VCEP Likely Pathogenic rule (Rule13 requires ≥3M; Rule14 requires 2M + ≥2Spt; others require ≥1 Strong). Under both the PTEN VCEP and generic ACMG/AMP 2015 classification frameworks, this combination falls into the VUS category.

Two patients had germline mutations in the B-Type ATP-binding site: Y68H and Y68C. Each of these mutations are novel missense mutations, which are highly predicted to be deleterious, although this has not been confirmed functionally.
Results: 'Germline PTEN mutations located in the ATP-binding domains identified in CS patients'; Figure 3B; Figure 5
In contrast to PTEN, both cancer-associated somatic (WT PTEN, K62R PTEN and Y65C PTEN) and germline K125E PTEN missense mutations (PTEN and R130G PTEN), which lie within the ATP-binding motifs, result in nuclear mislocalization as a cellular phenotypic hallmark (Y68H)
Introduction: mentions Y68H; Materials and Methods: patient lymphoblastoid lines (Y68H and R130G only)
Genetic testing confirmed the presence of a heterozygous mutation in the PTEN gene (c.203A>G). This mutation, in a highly conserved area in exon 3, encodes an amino acid substitution from tyrosine to cysteine (p.Tyr68Cys) within the phosphatase domain.
Case Reports, Case 1; Figure 1A
The third mutation we report is a missense mutation, consisting of a transition (T→C) at nucleotide 202 in exon 3, resulting in a tyrosine to histidine (TAC to CAC) change at codon 68.
Abstract; Results: Individual MHSF041-01 description
A 3-year-old boy with Proteus syndrome has a novel germline p.Y68D mutation of the PTEN gene inherited from his mother who has Cowden syndrome.
