PTEN is among the most common autism spectrum disorder (ASD)-predisposition genes. Germline PTEN mutation carriers can develop malignant neoplasms and/or neurodevelopmental disorders such as ASD and developmental delay. Why a single gene contributes to disparate clinical outcomes, even in patients with identical PTEN mutations, remains unclear. To investigate the association of copy number variations (CNVs), altered numbers of copies of DNA sequences within the genome, with specific phenotypes in patients with germline PTEN mutations. This prospective cohort study examined genome-wide microarrays performed on blood-derived DNA to detect germline CNVs from September 1, 2005, through January 3, 2018. Multicenter accrual occurred from community and academic medical centers throughout North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Participants included patients with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) (n = 481), molecularly defined as carrying germline pathogenic PTEN mutations. Data were analyzed from November 14, 2018, to August 1, 2019. Detection of CNVs from patient-derived germline DNA. Prevalence of pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic CNVs in patients with PHTS and association with ASD/developmental delay and/or cancer, ascertained through medical records and pathology reports. The study included 481 patients with PHTS (mean [SD] age, 33.2 [21.6] years; 268 female [55.7%]). The analytic series consisted of 309 patients with PHTS and genetically determined European ancestry. Patients were divided into 3 phenotypic groups, excluding family members within each group. These include 110 patients with ASD/developmental delay, 194 without ASD/developmental delay, and 121 with cancer (of whom 116 were in the no ASD/developmental delay group). Genome-wide evaluation of autosomal CNVs indicated an increased CNV burden, particularly duplications in genic regions, in patients with ASD/developmental delay compared with those without ASD/developmental delay (odds ratio [OR], 1.9; 95% CI, 1.1-3.4; P = .03) and those with cancer (OR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.3-4.6; P = .003). Eleven of the 110 patients (10.0%) with ASD/developmental delay carried pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic CNVs associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, compared with 5 of 194 (2.6%) without ASD/developmental delay (OR, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.4-13.7; P = .008) and 2 of 121 (1.7%) with cancer (OR, 6.6; 95% CI, 1.6-44.5; P = .007). Evidence of an association between pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic CNVs and PHTS with ASD/developmental delay was further supported in a validation series of 69 patients with PHTS of genetically determined non-European ancestry. These findings suggest that copy number variations are associated with the ASD/developmental delay clinical phenotype in PHTS, providing proof of principle for similarly heterogeneous disorders lacking outcome-specific associations.
