Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points: 0P and 10B. BP4_StrongBP6BP7BS1

The NM_198253.3(TERT):c.2769G>A(p.Pro923Pro) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000198 in 1,613,886 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P923P) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

TERT (HGNC:11730): (telomerase reverse transcriptase) Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase that maintains telomere ends by addition of the telomere repeat TTAGGG. The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by this gene, and an RNA component which serves as a template for the telomere repeat. Telomerase expression plays a role in cellular senescence, as it is normally repressed in postnatal somatic cells resulting in progressive shortening of telomeres. Deregulation of telomerase expression in somatic cells may be involved in oncogenesis. Studies in mouse suggest that telomerase also participates in chromosomal repair, since de novo synthesis of telomere repeats may occur at double-stranded breaks. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms of telomerase reverse transcriptase have been identified; the full-length sequence of some variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing at this locus is thought to be one mechanism of regulation of telomerase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -10 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.81).

BP6

Variant 5-1264478-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-1264478-C-T is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 242229.

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-2.29 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.00108 (165/152322) while in subpopulation AFR AF = 0.00346 (144/41568). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.003. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 84 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
