BACKGROUND: Classification of heterozygous germline PTEN variants in patients with, or suspected of having, PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) remains challenging. Accurate classification is essential as these patients require lifelong cancer surveillance.
METHODS: We identified all patients with a PTEN variant previously classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS), likely pathogenic (LP) or pathogenic (P), collected clinical data and reclassified all variants using the latest PTEN gene-specific American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines. Moreover, genotype-phenotype correlations were assessed.
RESULTS: 167 patients from 112 families were enrolled. Eighty-seven unique PTEN variants were identified, including 20 novel variants. After applying the PTEN gene-specific ACMG guidelines, 32 variants (36.8%) were reclassified, resulting in 60 PTEN variants classified as LP/P (69.0%), 18 variants classified as VUS (20.7%), while 9 variants were classified as LB/B (10.3%). Genotype-phenotype correlation was performed among 104 patients with LP/P variants: 51 cancer cases were recorded in 41 patients and a distinct PHTS phenotype was observed in 25% of patients, with macrocephaly being present in 99% of patients with a known head circumference. Twenty-three patients had neurodevelopmental delay and/or autism, and we observed an increased prevalence of missense variants in these patients.
CONCLUSION: We identified 87 different PTEN variants, and application of PTEN gene-specific ACMG guidelines led to reclassification of 32 variants (36.8%), underscoring the importance of regular variant reassessment using the most recent gene-specific guidelines, ensuring optimal patient management and surveillance.
