Genes affected
RTEL1 (HGNC:15888): (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) This gene encodes a DNA helicase which functions in the stability, protection and elongation of telomeres and interacts with proteins in the shelterin complex known to protect telomeres during DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyerall-Hreidarsson syndrome. Read-through transcription of this gene into the neighboring downstream gene, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, generates a non-coding transcript. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
RTEL1-TNFRSF6B (HGNC:44095): (RTEL1-TNFRSF6B readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) and TNFRSF6B (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, decoy) genes on chromosome 20. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineMar 21, 2018The p.Met676Thr variant in RTEL1 has not been previously reported in individuals with pulmonary fibrosis or dyskeratosis congenita, but has been identified in 0 .05% (62/125316) of European American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Data base (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs148080505). Although the variant was observed in the general population, its frequency is not high enoug h to rule out pathogenicity. The variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Vari ation ID:436587). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do no t provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, th e clinical significance of the p.Met676Thr variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criter ia applied: none. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 29, 2024This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 652 of the RTEL1 protein (p.Met652Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs148080505, gnomAD 0.05%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of RTEL1-related conditions (PMID: 30523342). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436587). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect RTEL1 function (PMID: 29344583). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
