This variant is located within the BoxH/ACA scaRNA domain of the TERC RNA component, which is required for telomerase activity (PMID: 21844345). Functional studies testing the effect of this variant on TERC secondary structure or function have not been reported. This sequence change occurs in the TERC gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. TERC is a telomerase RNA template component required for telomeric DNA synthesis. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). In summary, this variant has uncertain impact on TERC function. The available evidence is currently insufficient to determine its role in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
