Phenotypic distinctions between mosaic forms of tuberous sclerosis complex.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine if mosaic tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) can be stratified into subtypes that correspond with prognosis and extent of disease.

Methods

Next-generation sequencing of skin tumor and other samples was used to identify patients with mosaic pathogenic variants in TSC1 or TSC2. Extent of disease, onset age, and family history of TSC were determined through retrospective analysis of patient records.

Results

The median number of disease findings and age at penetrance differed between mosaic patients with asymmetrically distributed facial angiofibromas (4 findings, 24?years, n?=?7), mosaic patients with bilaterally symmetric facial angiofibromas (8 findings, 10?years, n?=?12), and germline TSC patients (10 findings, 4?years, n?=?29). Cutaneous and internal organ involvement positively correlated in mosaic (R?=?0.62, p?=?0.005), but not germline (R?=?-0.24, p?=?0.24) TSC. Variant allele fraction (VAF) in the blood (range: 0-19%) positively correlated with the number of major features (R?=?0.55, p?=?0.028). Five had a TSC2 variant identified in the skin that was below detection in the blood. One of 12 children from a mosaic parent had TSC.

Conclusion

The phenotype of mosaic TSC ranged from mild to indistinguishable from germline disease. Patients with mosaicism and asymmetric facial angiofibromas exhibited fewer findings, later onset, and lower VAF in the blood.
