About PTEN

PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene that encodes a phosphatase converting the lipid messenger PIP3 back to PIP2 at the cell membrane, thereby restraining the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway that drives cell growth, proliferation, and survival. It is one of the most frequently mutated genes across many types of human cancer, and its loss promotes unchecked cell growth, survival, and genomic instability, partly through impaired DNA repair. Germline loss-of-function variants in PTEN cause Cowden syndrome, an inherited cancer predisposition disorder associated with elevated risk of breast and thyroid cancer.

Met Not met Not assessed Not applicable

PVS1 is met at very strong strength under the PTEN VCEP decision tree for the canonical -1 splice-site variant producing a frameshifted exon-5 skipping consequence upstream of c.1121.

PM4 and BP3 are not applicable under the PTEN VCEP rules.

Only PS4 and BP5 are potentially applicable under the PTEN VCEP, but the available evidence lacks the required phenotype-specific, case-control, or alternate-molecular-basis data.

PP4, PP5, and BP6 are explicitly not applicable under the PTEN VCEP specification.

PM3 is explicitly not applicable under the PTEN VCEP specification. BP2 is not assessed because no qualifying pathogenic-partner observation or phase evidence is documented.

PP3 and BP4 are not_assessed because the VCEP's named SpliceAI/VarSeak concordance requirement cannot be evaluated without a VarSeak result.

BP7 is not_applicable because the canonical -1 intronic splice-site variant is outside the VCEP's +7/-21 intronic location scope.

PVS1 Very strongVCEPMet at very strong: canonical -1 acceptor disruption causes a predicted exon-5 frameshift after loss of 239 coding nucleotides and lies 5' of the PTEN c.1121 NMD threshold. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical acceptor splice-site variant at -1. The case evidence identifies exon 5 as the affected exon; exon skipping removes 239 coding nucleotides (239 % 3 = 2) and shifts the reading frame. This is the GT-AG splice-site path in the PTEN VCEP decision tree, with the affected exon present in the biologically relevant NM_000314.8 transcript and the disruption far 5' of the p.D375/c.1121 NMD threshold. The VCEP tree therefore assigns full PVS1, with no named downgrade rule applicable.

VCEP rule
Use PTEN PVS1 decision tree. ... Exon skipping or use of a cryptic splice site disrupts reading frame and is predicted to undergo NMD ... Stop codon or disruption at or 5’ to p.D375 (c.1121) ... Exon is present in biologically-relevant transcript NM_000314.8 ... PVS1
Evidence considered
  • pvs1_variant_assessment records NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A as a canonical splice variant at the acceptor (-1), affecting exon 5 of 9 in the biologically relevant transcript.
  • pvs1_variant_assessment records exon 5 as c.254_492, with 239 coding nucleotides; exon skipping removes 239 nt (239 % 3 = 2) and shifts the reading frame.
  • PVS1_DecisionTree_PTEN.pdf, page 1: the GT-AG +/-1,2 splice-site branch assigns PVS1 when exon skipping or cryptic splice-site use disrupts the reading frame and is predicted to undergo NMD, the disruption is at or 5' to p.D375 (c.1121), and the exon is present in NM_000314.8.
  • The variant is c.254-1, which is 5' of the VCEP's c.1121 (p.D375) positional threshold; the case evidence identifies the exon-5 consequence as a frameshift, so no 3' non-NMD downgrade branch applies.
Still missing

Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP permits PM2 at supporting strength when the variant is present at less than 0.00001 allele frequency in gnomAD or another large sequenced population, with a less than 0.00002 subpopulation requirement when multiple alleles are present. gnomAD v4.1 reports total AF 6.220677282459805e-07 and highest listed subpopulation AF 8.516291665956976e-07, both below the applicable thresholds; gnomAD v2.1 and the non-cancer subsets report absence.

VCEP rule
Absent in population ... Databases present at <0.00001 (0.001%) allele frequency in gnomAD or another large sequenced population. If multiple alleles are present within any subpopulation, allele frequency in that subpopulation must be <0.00002 (0.002%).

BS2 VCEPNot met: gnomAD v4.1 reports 0 homozygotes, but the rule requires at least one homozygous observation in a healthy or PHTS-unaffected individual. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP BS2 rule requires observation in the homozygous state in a healthy or PHTS-unaffected individual. gnomAD v4.1 reports 0 homozygotes for the variant, and no other qualifying homozygous observation is available; thus BS2 is not met.

PS1 VCEPNot assessed: SpliceAI is 0.993, but no known pathogenic comparator at the same nucleotide position is available for the VCEP's required equal-or-greater comparison. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP permits PS1 for a different nucleotide substitution at the same intronic splice-site position as a known pathogenic splicing variant when in silico splice-impact predictions are equal to or greater than the known variant. This case is NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A, a canonical acceptor variant with SpliceAI maximum delta 0.993, but the available evidence does not identify a known pathogenic comparator at the same nucleotide position or provide its prediction for comparison. The amino-acid-change path is unavailable because the variant has NP_000305.3:p.? rather than a missense consequence.

VCEP rule

PS3 VCEPNot assessed: no qualifying splice assay result is available, and the VCEP's phosphatase threshold applies to missense assay data absent for this canonical splice-site variant. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP permits PS3 for well-established functional studies showing a damaging effect, including an RNA, mini-gene, or other assay showing an impact on splicing, and separately specifies PS3_Moderate for phosphatase activity <= -1.11 per Mighell et al. 2018. This variant is a canonical splice-site variant, not a missense variant. The governing mmc2.xlsx file was searched for c.254-1G>A and p.?; no entry was found. Because no qualifying splice functional assay result is available in the reviewed evidence, PS3 cannot be assigned.

PS4 VCEPNot assessed: no variant-specific proband phenotype, specificity score, or case-control enrichment statistic is available for applying the PTEN VCEP PS4 rule. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP permits PS4 from phenotype-specificity scores or, at strong level, significantly increased variant prevalence in affected individuals compared with controls. The available case evidence identifies the canonical splice variant and ClinVar classifications but provides no variant-specific proband phenotype, Cleveland Clinic score, pediatric phenotype score, independent-proband count, case-control enrichment statistic, p-value, or confidence interval. Therefore no PS4 strength can be assigned. The VCEP also states that PS4 cannot be combined with PP4, and PP4 is not applicable for this VCEP.

VCEP rule

Probands with specificity score 4-15.5 (see text) OR The prevalence of the variant in affected individuals is significantly increased compared with the prevalence in controls. ... Probands with specificity score of 2-3.5 (see text). ... Phenotype specific for disease with single genetic etiology. Proband(s) with specificity score of 1-1.5 (see text).

Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP PP3 rule covers synonymous or intronic variants with SpliceAI and VarSeak predictions of splicing impact, specifically SpliceAI scores 0.5-1 and VarSeak classes 4 or 5. NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical intronic acceptor (-1) variant. SpliceAI is available and predicts impact (DS_AL 0.993; maximum delta 0.993), but no VarSeak result or class is available.

The governing PTEN rule requires the gnomAD filtering allele frequency, but the available gnomAD record reports total AF (6.220677282459805e-07; 1/1607542 alleles) and does not report a filtering AF.

BP5 VCEPNot assessed: no two cases with an alternate highly penetrant molecular diagnosis and documented non-overlapping PTEN history meet the BP5 requirements. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP requires a variant to be found in a case with an alternate molecular basis for disease, requires at least two such cases, requires the other gene/disorder to be highly penetrant, and requires the patient's personal or family history to show no overlap between that disorder and PTEN. The available evidence documents no alternate molecular diagnosis, no two qualifying cases, and no personal or family-history non-overlap analysis. Therefore BP5 is not assessed.

VCEP rule
At least two such cases are required for criteria to apply. In addition, the other gene/disorder must be considered highly penetrant AND the patient’s personal/family history must demonstrate no overlap between the other gene and PTEN. ...

PM1 N/ANot applicable: The variant has no encoded amino-acid residue, while the VCEP PM1 domains are limited to residues 90-94, 123-130, and 166-168. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The VCEP defines PM1 for a variant located in a mutational hotspot and/or critical functional domain, specifically PTEN catalytic-motif residues 90-94, 123-130, and 166-168. This variant is the canonical intronic splice-site change NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A with no encoded amino-acid residue (NP_000305.3:p.?), so it does not lie at one of the residue locations named by the governing PM1 rule. vcep_materials.json has no PTEN domain_tables entry; the complete applicable VCEP residue list is therefore the CSPEC list itself.

VCEP rule
Located in a mutational hot spot and/or critical and well-established functional domain. Defined to include residues in catalytic motifs: 90-94, 123-130, 166-168 (NP_ 000305.3)
Evidence considered
  • CSPEC PM1 specification: PTEN catalytic motifs are the WPD loop residues 90-94, P-loop residues 123-130, and TI-loop residues 166-168 (NP_000305.3).
  • Variant assessment: NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical intronic acceptor variant with NP_000305.3:p.? and therefore has no encoded residue to compare with the listed domains.
  • vcep_materials.json domain_tables is empty for PTEN; no additional authoritative domain-table entries were available.

PM4 N/ANot applicable: the variant is a canonical splice-site substitution with a predicted frameshift, whereas PTEN PM4 covers in-frame length changes, stop-loss, catalytic-motif changes, or protein extension. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP PM4 rule is limited to protein length changes from in-frame insertions or deletions in a non-repeat region, stop-loss variants, in-frame changes affecting a catalytic motif, or protein extensions. This variant is a canonical splice-site substitution with a predicted frameshift consequence, not an in-frame insertion/deletion, stop-loss, catalytic-motif in-frame change, or protein extension.

VCEP rule
Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants. Applies to in-frame insertions or deletions impacting at least one residue in a catalytic motif (see PM1), and variants causing protein extension.
Evidence considered
  • The PTEN CSPEC PM4 entry states: protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants; it also includes in-frame catalytic-motif changes and protein extension.

PM5 N/ANot applicable: PM5 requires a missense change at an amino-acid residue, but this variant is a canonical splice-site change with protein consequence p.?. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The VCEP PM5 rule requires a missense change at an amino-acid residue with a different pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense change and a BLOSUM62 comparison. NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical splice-site variant with NP_000305.3:p.?, not a missense change, so PM5 does not apply.

VCEP rule
Missense change at an amino acid residue where a different missense change determined to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic has been seen before. In addition, variant being interrogated must have BLOSUM62 score equal to or less than the known variant.
Evidence considered
  • CSPEC PM5 rule requires a missense change at an amino-acid residue and a different pathogenic or likely pathogenic missense comparator with BLOSUM62 score comparison.
  • Variant assessment: NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is classified as canonical_splice and has NP_000305.3:p.? rather than a missense protein change.
Sources
PP2 N/ANot applicable: PP2 requires a missense variant, whereas this variant is a canonical splice-site change with protein consequence p.?. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The VCEP PP2 rule is restricted to a missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation and missense as a common disease mechanism. NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical splice-site variant with NP_000305.3:p.?, not a missense variant, so PP2 is not applicable.

VCEP rule
Missense variant in a gene that has a low rate of benign missense variation and where missense variants are a common mechanism of disease.
Evidence considered
  • CSPEC PP2 rule applies to a missense variant in a gene with a low rate of benign missense variation where missense variants are a common disease mechanism.
  • Variant assessment: NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is classified as canonical_splice and has NP_000305.3:p.?.

PP4 VCEPNot applicable: the PTEN VCEP explicitly designates PP4 as not applicable and incorporates phenotype specificity into PS4 Use 2. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP marks PP4 as Not Applicable and states that phenotype specificity has been incorporated into PS4 Use 2. PP4 is therefore not evaluated independently, regardless of the clinical phenotype information available.

VCEP rule
Not applicable
Evidence considered
  • The PTEN VCEP CSPEC entry lists PP4 applicability as Not applicable and directs phenotype-specific evidence to PS4 Use 2.
Sources
PP5 VCEPNot applicable: the PTEN VCEP prohibits use of PP5, so ClinVar or published pathogenic classifications cannot support this criterion. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP marks PP5 as Not Applicable for this VCEP and states that the criterion is not for use as recommended by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation VCEP Review Committee. ClinVar classifications and published statements therefore cannot be converted into PP5 under this governing framework.

VCEP rule
This criterion is not for use as recommended by the ClinGen Sequence Variant Interpretation VCEP Review Committee.

BP7 N/ANot applicable: c.254-1G>A is an intronic -1 splice-site variant, outside BP7's scope of intronic variants at or beyond -21. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP BP7 rule applies to synonymous or intronic variants at or beyond +7/-21. NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is an intronic canonical acceptor (-1) variant, which lies within the -1/-21 canonical splice-site interval and is therefore outside BP7's stated intronic scope. BP7 is not_applicable before evaluating splicing predictions.

VCEP rule
Intronic variants must be positioned at or beyond +7/-21. ... A synonymous (silent) or intronic variant at or beyond +7/-21 for which splicing prediction algorithms predict no impact to the splice consensus sequence nor the creation of a new splice.

PP3 VCEPNot assessed: the rule requires concordant SpliceAI and VarSeak predictions, but only SpliceAI is available, with maximum delta 0.993. Details ▾Hide ▴
Reasoning

The PTEN VCEP PP3 rule covers synonymous or intronic variants with SpliceAI and VarSeak predictions of splicing impact, specifically SpliceAI scores 0.5-1 and VarSeak classes 4 or 5. NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical intronic acceptor (-1) variant. SpliceAI is available and predicts impact (DS_AL 0.993; maximum delta 0.993), but no VarSeak result or class is available. Because the required concordance of both named predictors cannot be evaluated, PP3 is not_assessed. BayesDel and other predictors are not used because they are not named for this splicing path.

VCEP rule
To be applied to synonymous or intronic variants where SpliceAl and VarSeak _in silico_ models predict a splicing impact (SpliceAl: scores 0.5-1 are consider evidence of pathogenic. VarSeak: Class 4 and 5 are consider evidence of pathogenic). ... Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product. * Splicing variants: Concordance of SpliceAl and VarSeak * Missense variants: REVEL score > 0.7

NM_000314.8:c.254-1G>A is a canonical intronic acceptor (-1) variant. SpliceAI is available and predicts impact (DS_AL 0.993; maximum delta 0.993), not no impact, while no VarSeak result or class is available. Because the required concordance of both named predictors cannot be evaluated, BP4 is not_assessed. BayesDel and other predictors are not used because they are not named for this splicing path.
