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]

RTEL1-TNFRSF6B (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	Aug 15, 2013	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	3billion	Oct 02, 2021	It is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.0000042, PM2). The variant is in trans with the other variant (NM_032957.4:c.3725-143G>C, billion dataset, PM3_P). Patient's phenotype is considered compatible with Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 5 (3billion dataset, PP4). The variant has been reported as disease causing in patient with genomic instablility and abnormal short telomerase (PMID: 23591994). Therefore, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -
