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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 865 of the TERT protein (p.Arg865His). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918666, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of TERT-related conditions (PMID: 17460043, 22853774, 28102861, 30523342). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 12736). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TERT protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects TERT function (PMID: 17460043, 20022961, 22364217, 23901009, 25365545). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The R865H variant has been published previously in association with TERT-related disorders (Tsakiri et al., 2007; Fernandez et al., 2012; DiNardo et al., 2016). The variant is observed in 1/23030 (0.004%) alleles from individuals of African background in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016). This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Additionally, functional studies have demonstrated that R865H results in significantly reduced enzyme activities (Tsakiri et al., 2007; Zaug et al., 2013). In summary, we consider this variant to be pathogenic. -
