NM_000368.4:c.682C>T is a nonsense variant (p.Arg228Ter) in exon 8 of 23 exons of TSC1. Loss-of-function is an established disease mechanism for Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, and nonsense-mediated decay is predicted for this early truncation at codon 228 of 1164. Under the generic PVS1 decision framework (PMC6185798), this null variant qualifies for PVS1 at the very-strong level.
This variant has been reported in multiple individuals with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. PMID:10090883 reports two affected siblings in family HOU-21 harboring this variant. In ClinVar, 10 clinical diagnostic laboratories have independently classified this variant as Pathogenic, indicating observation in numerous affected individuals. The variant is effectively absent from the general population (gnomAD v4.1: 1/1,614,090 alleles, AF = 6.2e-07). The prevalence in affected individuals significantly exceeds the population frequency.
This variant is effectively absent from large population databases. It is absent from gnomAD v2.1 and present at an extremely low frequency in gnomAD v4.1 (1/1,614,090 alleles, AF = 6.2e-07, 0 homozygotes), far below the 0.1% threshold for PM2. It is also absent from gnomAD-Canada v1.0.
PMID:10090883 reports two affected siblings in family HOU-21 who both carry the C682T (R228X) variant while unaffected parents and unaffected siblings do not. The variant co-segregates with disease in this sibship. Additionally, the Labcorp/Invitae ClinVar submission (SCV000284736) notes segregation with disease in related individuals. Although the family structure is small and the inheritance reflects germline mosaicism, the observation of the variant in multiple affected family members and its absence in unaffected relatives supports pathogenicity.
This variant is reported as Pathogenic in ClinVar (VariationID: 49083) by 10 independent clinical diagnostic laboratories. Although the aggregate review status is 'criteria provided, single submitter' (1-star) and no expert panel review has been performed, the consistent pathogenic classification across multiple reputable clinical laboratories supports pathogenicity at the supporting evidence level.
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
gene-specific framework lacked a usable explicit final combination framework, so generic ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination rules were applied as fallback; applied criteria: PVS1 very strong, PS4 moderate, PM2 moderate, PP1 supporting, PP5 supporting; combination = 1 very strong + 2 moderate + 2 supporting, which maps to Pathogenic.

NM_000368.4:c.682C>T (p.Arg228Ter) is a nonsense variant in exon 8 of 23 exons of TSC1 predicted to result in nonsense-mediated decay and complete loss of hamartin protein function.
The variant is effectively absent from population databases (gnomAD v4.1: 1/1,614,090 alleles, AF = 6.2e-07), meeting PM2 at moderate strength.
The variant has been reported in multiple unrelated individuals with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex, including two affected siblings in family HOU-21 (Rose et al. 1999), and has been classified as Pathogenic by 10 independent clinical diagnostic laboratories in ClinVar (VariationID: 49083).
Cosegregation with disease was observed in two affected siblings in family HOU-21, with the variant absent in unaffected parents and siblings.
Under generic ACMG/AMP 2015 classification rules (Richards et al. 2015), this variant meets criteria for Pathogenic classification: PVS1 (very_strong) + PM2 (moderate) + PS4 (moderate) + PP1 (supporting) + PP5 (supporting).
