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]

Variant summary: TERT c.2051A>G (p.Asp684Gly) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Reverse transcriptase domain (IPR000477) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 7.1e-05 in 1567398 control chromosomes. This frequency is not significantly higher than estimated for a pathogenic variant in TERT causing Dyskeratosis congenita, however the frequency in the Finnish subpopulation was 0.0018 in 59326 control chromosomes. These data allow no conclusion about variant significance but may suggest a possible founder effect among individuals of Finnish descent. c.2051A>G has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous or homozygous state in multiple Finnish/Nordic individuals affected with clinical features of Dyskeratosis congenita and related telomere biology disorders (example, Norberg_2018, Trotta_2018) and in the heterozygous state in multiple individuals with familial pulmonary fibrosis and/or interstitial lung disease (example, Liu_2023, Stark_2022). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with autosomal recessive disease. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 36622818, 29483670, 35083318, 30115091). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446372). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic. -

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 684 of the TERT protein (p.Asp684Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs776981958, gnomAD 0.1%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with TERT-related conditions (PMID: 29483670). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 446372). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on TERT protein function. 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. -
