Multidimensional PTEN missense variant analysis reveals variant subgroups including potential dominant negatives
Determining the pathogenicity of human genetic variants is a critical challenge, and functional assessment is often the only option. Experimentally characterizing millions of possible missense variants in thousands of clinically important genes will likely require generalizable, scalable assays. We previously developed Variant Abundance by Massively Parallel Sequencing (VAMP-seq), which measures the effects of thousands of missense variants of a protein on intracellular abundance in a single experiment. Here, we reapplied VAMP-seq to quantify the abundances of additional PTEN missense variants which were missing from the original experiment. Overall design: Barcoded missense variant libraries of EGFP-fused PTEN were recombined into HEK293T cells previously engineered to contain a Bxb1 recombination site at the AAVS1 locus. Upon sorting cells for EGFP expression, genomic DNA was extracted. Barcodes were amplified and counted with Illumina sequencing. Barcodes were associated back to the corresponding PTEN variant by comparison with a barcode-variant map previously created by sequencing the variant library plasmids using PacBio sequencing.
